  • Yes, me too.


    I am learning WHY I don't call her more often and WHY I moved 3000 miles away.

    it's nothing that bad Bunny but it's just little things - like last week she was talking about how I smoked but that I only seemed to smoke when my pals were home from uni (implying I was easily led). I smoked like a bloomin chimney!!! :o My dad pointed out that I was always in the back porch smoking but she just shrugged.
    It's just wee things that she seems be misremembering but there's one or two a month and it's just odd.

    I think all mums do that....mine said last visit that my ex wasn't so bad really and maybe I shouldn't have got a divorce...maybe given it a bit more time.....all said whilst DH was sitting there seething. The way she felt about him at the time of the divorce has obviously vanished from memory.

    Bunny - Sounds like you've had a "mare" of a day - go put the kettle on and do something silly with the kids for an hour.

    My 2 are hiding in the bedrooms pretending to do homework but actually talking on msn...they must think I was born yesterday.
