Goodness me Irish - that must have been hard for your D to see. We all want Mum to be 'Mum' - ie: there for us, stable, loving and reliable.....your W is very far from that now.

Purple hair, tattoos, shaving - ugh...at least when things are so bad it must be clear to you that you truly don't want to be with the woman that she is just now. I'm sad for your D's though - however, those sound like lovely plans for your D's 16th and I'm pleased things are settled in terms of the house.

Golly, can't believe that about the government support. That's a pretty blatant lie, given that she doesn't even see the girls. The fraud team are going to be all over that one would be my guess - it just shows that she really isn't thinking straight.

I'm glad for your girls that they do have one stable and loving parent, because that makes such a difference.

Hope your birthday surprise goes well xx
