Friday Night Evening spent at home – quality time with eldest daughter. Asks where’s mum? – I said out with a friend, I’m not lying to my kids anymore covering for her. With both looked at each other knowing what ‘out with a friend’ meant – spending the night with OW. Even daughter is saying that W is in MLC and is being ridiculous. If she has any guilt, turmoil, fog or depression we certainly don’t see it at home, does she not know/realise what she is doing is wrong and what it’s doing to our family?
Saturday She arrives back home as if she has just come back from work and it’s a “normal” day at home with her family, as if nothing out of the ordinary routine had happened. Nice afternoon with D's boyfriend at football. Saturday night I walked out of lounge as she was constantly on her phone and I suspected that she was on the website again. She said she was on Facebook, but, that she was indeed on the site earlier but only to terminate her membership of it. I said great, and that I was pleased and pleased for her. She said I’m not doing for you I’m doing it for me. Actions speak louder than words I know so we’ll see.
Sunday I was out gardening and doing things around the house all day, which i'm really begining to enjoy. Noticeable that she came out to talk to me a few times. “ I can see you’ve done that, good job etc” Don’t know who called who but MIL was on phone. I was out in garden and W came out with phone saying MIL wants to talk to me. MIL told me that she is still trying to come to terms with this. She has told W to go back to me and work on the marriage. Even told her to go and get some help from Doctor or someone!. All of which W expected tbh. Not going to make her do any of those things. We had a family dinner that evening with eldest daughter and her boyfriend, strained –W had a little too much wine and it showed occasionally. I helped and offered to help as much as I could, even made her laugh with me with some comments.
All in all a nice day -apart from the elephant in the room...
