Lois called Superman and told him she has decided to move in October 2. She said Lexie and Luther approached her and directly asked her what her plans were following her birthday. She told them she was going to move in with us. According to Lois, they really didn't say anything. They are allowing her to take all her clothes, a dresser, and her bedroom comforter set. It actually is a lot more than I expected.
My cynical side thinks they are allowing her to go because they will no longer receive child support for her anymore since she isn't in school and she will be 18 in a week. Lexie already tried to enroll her in school in July after homeschooling her for several years. I think in an attempt to extend child support on her. But we will never be sure of her real motives.
This will be the second child leaving their house when they weren't getting along. Luther's oldest daughter was forced to go back to her mother's house. Lexie was telling people "we sent her back to her mother." I understand having problems in the house but it seems those problems are not such a big deal until they turn 18. We have offered to take Lois during some stressful times at Lexie's house for a short period of time to allow everyone to cool off. She wouldn't think of it.
She has tried to guilt Lois in the past to stay. She would stand her in front of her siblings and asked her to explain to them why she was abandoning them. Now she has an sudden change of heart and she has no problem letting her go. Crazy.
On a positive note Clark will have time with his sister that he has never had before. Kent will hopefully get to know his oldest sibling before she leaves the house. I have always wondered what kind of relationship those two will have because of the age difference. Will they be like siblings or more like the distant relative you talk to only on holidays and birthdays? Of course Superman will have time with his daughter. He has missed her so much and regrets a lot of the decisions he made when he was younger. He feels this may be his chance to make up for lost time.
Who knows maybe she and I will develop a deeper relationship? Fingers are crossed and prayers are being said.

Wow. Just over a week. I'm so excited and nervous for you!
Sounds like you have a great attitude about this...can't wait to hear how it goes!
I'm particularly interested in the age difference thing to...if we have kids there will likely be a huge age gap between his kid and our kid. I've always wondered the dynamics of that.
Hope the transition goes smoothly!
