I had my Dad come to stay - that was really difficult - he's 83 - and "all there"...
he drove up to my home - where W and h are - and I had to bring him to my new place...I got up early on Xmas day to go round to home for the present opening...which was fine, came back and collected Dad at about 10....
i helped W, as best i was allowed to sort out Xmas lunch...W did an amazing job! Had everything sorted and looked gorgeous!
W's mother has Alzheimers - which makes these events a bit more challenging anyway - anyway - all was going swimmingly - I thought - lovely Xmas lunch - H enjoying his pressies - then BOOM!
W appears - "that's not fair!" "I have done all this work to make sure that the Christmas Dinner goes OK and I wanted now to spend some time with MY son" - I had opened one of his presents with him...I thought- at her instigation and had started to get involved with it...after she had disappeared upstairs for a couple of hours...but she had wanted to "play" with S...
i didn't know that...I got cut down, blasted...
I cannot begin to describe how cutting that was - I was in bits...I had to bring Dad back to mine sooner than I had wanted...and bring an end to our Christmas Day.
She did send me a text later to say "sorry" that she was tired beyond tired - but perhaps - if she wasn't up till all hours with OM - then she wouldn;t have
So - getting close to being "done" with this...I need to move forward...
Big mountain walks and ice climbing; looks on the cards!
