I came home at 22.15, stayed outside an hour to build up my courage by rereading your posts and mentally rehearsing, came in quietly and went upstairs. W had taken my bed stuff downstairs again, so I just laid on the bed, clothes on, heart slamming, but no reaction from W. Was there maybe 2 hours, then had a coughing attack (I am coming off a cold) and came downstairs to not wake the others. Woke up down here.
Will go up again tonight, after dinner, though hopefully no coughing this time. I leave for the States on Wednesday morning, gone nearly a month, staying at MIL.
I am not sure what gives me the right to be upstairs, but I understand that she has no right to push me downstairs.
