Have just ssen my daughter who saw her dad today for the first time in 5 weeks.  I am really upset not because she saw him because i hoped he would turn up this time (he has let her down 3 times)  I dont know why i am upset.  Can't stop crying.

I have had a bad day, on the verge of tears all day.  I think him seeing our daughter has brought it all back.  She said he seemed cold.  He still insists i threw him out and I wont be getting a penny.

I mean, what the animals want is far more important than what I and the kids want.

Not a cross word to the cat about crapping on the carpet, or the dog for insanely barking. Bless them, she loves them and they love her.
