Thank you. I think taking care of myself physically is going to be first on my list - I know I am often at my lowest just when I get home from work, when I am tired and hungry and the house is cold and the kids need feeding and there are coats all over the place and school stuff everywhere. It's the time when I am most likely to cry or feel angry or want to contact H.
Tomorrow he is in with the kids. I do have time to pop back at tea time to see them all before I go out to the evening event. But as that's the low point for me and will be a busy and stressful time for him - and only the third time, I think, he's had contact with eldest since he left at the start of Jan, it will be too tense so I am going to stay away and get myself something nice to eat elsewhere.
