Hello again.

Safely home.

Mrs. T doing homework with the youngest cub. Good old forward-thinking me: I bought them their dinner at the office cafteria, so I get to have the evening off

Damn, I'm clever ***smug smile***

I wish I could get that kind of teary about my dad...

At this stage, at least I've let go of the anger. Just to be replaced by indifference...

My mom has been phoning daily to give me updates (he had his prostate removed on Monday). It took all my patience not to tell her that I'm really not in the mood to listen...

it's taken me years to build up an indifference to my mother and she's been dead 5 years

I know, but she was still doing me head in last year, 'til I saw Tim (the shrink)

What I'm struggling with is to make my mum understand how I feel. I explained it to her just after Christmas, but I don't think it has sunk in.

I hear what you say - these things can haunt us long after the protagonists are gone...

Same with me and the time I spent with Ester: when I went there I was still seething and raving.

I happened to find a letter I once wrote him (but obviously never sent) about two years ago. I had forgotten that I had written it, because I was totally obliviously drunk at the time. WOW!!! The anger and hurt jumps out at you. I've kept it, but put a password on the document. I had left it on the notebook I gave the cub when I upgraded.
