Thank you BM. I will read the link later when I have a little more time to digest it.

As for going AWOL that's the problem b/c H will only have D13 on his terms going AWOL is not an option. My parents do come from time to time as you know but they live 90 miles away and my dad is now 70 so I only ask him to make that long drive when I'm really desparate.

Katz,

I think it was you who suggested I speak to D13s friend's parents to see if she can go this evening. I don't have a number for them (actually it's her dad and his new wife) and D13 is not likely to give it to me. That's why I'm so reluctant for her to go at all.

Journalling:

I've just taken my car into a local garage this morning. This is the second time it has been in for the same thing as last time the one person who could do the work was off. After I sat there half an hour waiting for a verdict about what was wrong they then told me again that this same person is not there again today. I'm furious. I only get one day off a week and as I work so far away from home need my car to get to work. Now I'm probably going to have to wait at least another week to get it fixed. As the problem seems to be connected with the ABS brakes I'm getting really nervous about driving it.
