The MLCer is a weird one. On Sunday, W blew a fuse about me having the first week of the October school holidays off, telling me how I should have asked her and how I should compromise.
Today, W brings the kids over for their tea and SD came to see me as well. SD has a new hair do, courtesy of W and we chatted whilst D was hugging me and S was busy on his laptop (his autism makes him reach out for familiar, repetitive things). W initially smiled at me and gave me eye contact, but seemed to resent that SD was talking to me and started staring out of the window. Not once did she bring up the holidays (I'd prepared myself for that one!) and seemed distant, but pleasant.
W picked them up later and said a cheery 'bye' to me. I'm not scheduled to see the kids, and by default W, for a week. I've got my GAL weekend this coming Saturday, so, that will be a rest from the stress - for a couple of days anyway!

Bud! Where you been. Good to hear from you. How's in going in the West? How's you boy? Thought I'd move here as I didn't want to discourage newbies from getting started.

All good here mate. S11 is fantastic. I've been busy HAL, which is past tense for GAL, I.e. Having a life. I think you're in the right forum. I read this thread today on my way home from work. You popped into my mind so I came back for a look and found you. You sound good mate. Pity your W is still in the fog. Stay strong. You're doing great.

Deffo mate. I won't be starting a new thread here. I'm not on this bandwagon anymore. My M is done, and so am I. I'm happy and have moved on but wanted to see how you were doing and just to let you know I'm still routing fry you mate.
Peace

All packed up for GAL trip tomorrow. Washing in, so it'll be dry when I get back, and bath running. Looking forward to a relaxing few days, away from the hubbub of work and other things.
Pick the car up at 0800 and have various things to do on the way down,before I meet up with some friends in the evening. All day Sunday with my friends before heading home. Can't wait!

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
