W picked D11 up from her camping trip. When I got home W was busy with laundry, D11 was in the other room (I really missed her this weekend). I spent some time with D11 listening to her camping stories she had a fun time.
However when W went out to get some fast food, D11 confided to me that W was angry with her because she didn’t run up to her and give her a big hug when she arrived. D said W said things like “you must be ashamed of me if you can’t give me a hug” and “ You treat me like sh*t” and “you’re a difficult young girl to handle”. Listening to that spew I can remember W firing such lines at me. I just had to give D a hug and explain that W was going through a difficult time and we both had to maintain politeness and courtesy to her in spite of anything she say to us. W returned with D11’s happy meal for which she thanked her, W just totally ignored the gesture.
I’ve been googling ”how to survive W MLC and MLC affair” I’ve read lots of tips, some I knew others very helpful. Bottom line is ignore W, ignore the affair which is born of escapism, loose the anger, look after yourself, look after D11. Lots of other things but it all tells me to get up and get on with life, my life.
In terms of looking after me I am still getting support from family, my nieces are telling me to start fixing myself up in readiness for the time when I’m going out and dating, in fact I am having dinner with 2 of them tomorrow where they are going to unveil the start of “Lanzo’s daytime collection”. My money is tight but each month I am going to buy something new even if its just a pair of socks (That’s probably all I’ll be able to afford after the D).
