Sorry today is so horrible, IP. I think we're going to have ups and extreme downs for awhile.
Yes, I think you're right. It is going to be a long, long road.

Hi Ciluzen, thanks for posting, I really appreciate it. It's not so much the finding things to do, it's the getting there. We live in a small village and the bus and train service is very infrequent. You really need a car to live here and H has that for work almost every day.

Well, H's father is out of the question! He barely sees the kids, never has - he is totally not interested at all. Drops a card through the letter box on their birthdays and that is it. H is doing nothing at all other than serving himself. The last two weekends that he had off he sat at his Dad's house doing who knows what and managed to turn up for a whole hour just before they were due to go to bed. It's like he just wants out of his whole life, including his kids!
