Last night H came back from seeing S and told me his parents will be coming to stay at his place for a holiday and gave me the dates. I love MIL and FIL and can't wait for them to visit. They were here about a year ago. I was invited to a couple of family meals but ow was a part of other occasions with MIL and FIL (much to their dismay!) It will be interesting to see what happens this time.

Tonight I got a call from H to say his car was still being fixed and asked if he could borrow mine to take D to swimming in the morning. Previously he would have just told me he couldn't do the swimming run. I also notice that he is asking favours of me occasionally now, too.

(((((Sanderika))))) Thanks for your advice re FB. Interestingly, after I posted I realised I knew the answer to my question but it was too late to edit. Anyway, your response confirmed my thoughts. I'm not sure what's happening with ow. She's still around, I believe.

Sanderika, you really need to get some help for your depression. Have some counselling. Buy yourself some nice candles and a meditation CD. Make sure you're exercising and give some time for you.....massage, coffee and cake, time with a good book, start a course. Take time for you...you're worth it and so is your son!
