    Hi Meri

    This will be his 3rd session it's part of the pain management doobery he wants me to go cos he knows he will clam up. I want to try and wangle more sessions heaven knows he needs it (I don't mean he's mad I mean following his upbringing being told it's not his fault would be helpful)

    None shouty nephew hasn't emailed back quire upset by that if honest.

    oh sorry - 3rd session. ask him how he feels about psych. does he trust her/him? is it working for him? does he feel comfortable with them? would he prefer someone else? (sometimes the relationship doesn't 'click' and he could be referred to someone else).by the third session he should know this. I suspect he needs you along to 'help' him open up. the psychologist should be amenable to this.

    He's being all male about it, as in the psychologist is 'alright' lol.

    He's not seen them since November and obviously the outside pressures have increased drastically.

    He is ok today which is good, the problem is me angry, twitchy and sad.

    I told OH and he said he was gonna ask me to email see if we got a response. He's a good kid would have said the same of the other one pre Wednesday.

    the problem is - children believe their parents. we had that - by cutting out OHs Brother and his wife - their children don't acknowledge us. its upsetting,but, we are the enemy now. we cant do anything about that. we have to accept our nieces and nephew wont have anything to do with us or with any of our family. apparently we are all wrong and horrible people.

    Psychologist said anyone would struggle at the minute and OH needs to not worry too much about how he copes with pain.
    So docs tomorrow for some sleeping tablets or something.

    He's so tired and stressed that he shouted at the dogs yesterday which meant lots if soothing people and animals for me.

    I had to cancel Jaguar interview as I was on site and they wouldn't reschedule. I am going to have to stay where I am for now I can't do everything and OH has to take priority I think (I am annoyed by this oddly)
