Hi all, boy have I been missing you!
Got back online just in time to go for my first ever trip abroad organised by my brother and his wife to cheer me up! Well, it was the worst two weeks in a long time, big family argument (nothing different there then) but he/they unfortunately, when I would not "do what I was told" played their Ace and took the kids away......... honestly all I did was say that her Mother was getting on my nerves - which she was but apparently I can't have an opinion (her mother wasn't there when I said it). What makes it even more hurtful is that they told me to find alternative accommodation in Spain and also for the night on the return journey in London... unbelievable, how on earth would I know even where to begin - however with support from family at home I booked a flight from Spain to Glasgow where friends were there to meet me and take me back home to Inverness - was so hurt I could not speak. I have spent a few days licking my wounds and now the anger and humiliation is settling down, they are due back today - God forgive them. The doubly whammy is them saying that I would not see the children (ok it was said heatedly as they could clearly not think of any reason why I shouldn't speak my mind) the children are my niece (4yrs) and nephew (2yrs) who I see almost daily and absolutely love the bones of them. I do not have children of my own (not by choice) which is known through my family (years of heartbreak but over now) and I cannot get over how they could do this, how could anyone be so cruel.
Anyway it is so good to be home and getting emotional support from pals and family members, especially good support from my other niece (28yrs) and nephew (25yrs) who incidentally are the children from a previous marriage of the same brother!
Ho hum - and on we go...
Love you all.
