Hi Vanillia, thanks for posting. EA going on about 6-8 months that i know of.
If I'm honest I'm torn over EA or PA. On some days the way she talks about her car or problems at home it doesn't even seem like an EA as she seems very much on her own with her problems and then other days , when she leaves our house just in time to collect OM from work EVERY sat it seems it has to be a EA/PA as W would not run around after anyone normally.
I still let this aspect of W rule my life, I can deal with it better but it's always there just under the surface.
W called house phone yesterday morning and told us she had forgotten to take her mobile to work. She called again later that afternoon to check on kids. W then called house phone to say good night to kids but all kids were busy and did not answer so I answered. She asked to speak to D's (after chatting to me for about 5 min s) but D's shouted goodnight as they could not pause their xbox game, W then asked to speak to me in private. I took phone to another room and W asked me how D13 was now, as she texted D13 earlier but D13 did not respond. I answered W that if I told her the truth it would only upset her but she insisted. I explained that D13 told me that she did not answer W's text becuase W had not called in to see her even though she was sick on Sat afterrnonand that D13 would have to accept that her mum did'nt love her like she used to. W started crying and I told her that in future I was not going to tell her stuff like that (which I hav'nt been doing since she left, unless W asks) but W said she would prefer to know.
On a plus note, I got kids coats on yesterday afternoon, put old socks on their hands, you would have loved the look on their faces !!!!! I then took them outside and we cleaned all the downstairs windows. Good laugh had by all and I got the windows cleaned at a very cheap rate.
