Back to Square One?

[Wendylon]

No Tumbling, I didn't scratch the itch! I went about my biz and he left a VM saying that he'd been too tired to call the night before but hoped we were all well.

I had dinner out with a friend and came home to 3 emails from him to articles he thought would be of interest.

I emailed back this morning just to thank him for links. He phoned and asked ab kids. He loves updates on them. Sometimes I'm not sure whether to use that topic to bond or whether to just give him tidbits so he has to work a bit harder to know what they're up to.

He did have his 'talk' with S17 before leaving. That's something.

I asked what time he'd be home tomorrow and he said by supper-time (ie 7). I then told him that the kids were eating at my sister's and that it would just be me. He then backtracked and said that he was getting the train-times mixed up and that he probably wouldn't be home by supper-time after all. I'm tempted to look up train schedule myself but it probably wouldn't help (practically or emotionally). I wish I hadn't asked but I was wondering about food.

I then said, "We'll, we'll be in touch tomorrow" and got off the phone first. I hate not being able to trust him.

Despite the extra caring (for S13) , I do enjoy being alone with S17, D15 and S13. I feel more relaxed. I'm sure it would be different though if we were S. The kids know he's often away for work so his absence means nothing whereas it would be significant if he were in same city but in a different house and they were having to move around (which I'm sure they wouldn't want to do). S13's carers wouldn't want that either so that would be another huge hassle.
