Brave Little Gerda Faces the Cutting Winds

[Rita]

I forgot to add that it's the length of the time he is asking for more than that it's a holiday. The kids do not want to be away from me for even a night, but a whole week, after years of nothing, and no mention of his drinking or anything. I am afraid to rely on the fact that he won't follow through. I feel like I am betraying my kids saying yes but the clock is ticking for the GAL to start if we don't agree.
