Evening everyone :beer:
Finally made it to Friday, which is my busiest day at work. Good and bad - because it's so busy and I get really tired, but it flies over really quickly so I'm home and relaxing for the weekend. Took ds to his swimming lesson straight from school then got home and have put my jammies on and my feet up ready for a night of relaxing in front of the telly. I have a grocery delivery coming between 8 and 9 tonight, and I suspect I'll be in bed not very long after that - living the high life
No word from my dad today other than a brief text to say there was no change and he hadn't rang 111. ABA, please believe me when I say I honestly do understand that he is ill. Please also believe me when I say I've tried everything in my power in the past 16 years to help and support him, but ultimately I fell into the role of being his mother rather than his wife. And that isn't the role I wanted. There's loads more that I want to say but I don't know how it will come across when it's written down. I love him, I fell in love with him and I tried so hard to help him get better. But now I've made the decision that I can't help him any more, and I need to look after myself and my children. And that is exactly what I will do. Ultimately I hope he will see that it's better for him as well. I just wish I could get him a proper psychiatric assessment... but I can't.
Nothing much else to report at this end. My brain is way too tired to think of anything...Not giving up

Morning all :coffee:
I watched a really rubbish film last night beanilou - I had thought it sounded good, but it was a bit wooden and not that well acted to be honest. Never mind though - I made progress on my crochet temperature blanket and am almost at the end of March. Still a bit of a way to go to catch up then
Got quite a good night of sleep and got up early to do my house jobs and get them out of the way so I can relax and unwind a bit this weekend. I've done a load of washing, washed the dishes and popped into town to pick up a couple of parcels. I have also written my nephew's birthday card and sorted ds lunch money for next week. I'm now back in front of the tv with dd watching Tangled (which is one of my favourites). I do make it sound as though all I do is watch telly and crochet I promise I actually work quite hard.
Bestie is coming over this afternoon for our usual weekend coffee and catch up, which will be lovely as always, and as I say, this is my one day to relax and unwind a bit.Not giving up

Hey CCL! So glad I found your diary.
I just want you to know that you're not responsible for him, he's in charge of his own life and he's decided for a free ride off you. Yes, he's had depression but he took you for granted and showed you utter contempt when you were the only one holding his life together.
I do feel sad for him, but it was obvious that you couldn't help him anymore.
You're amazing.Debts: ASDA Loan - £6,848.01
Xmas Fund: £15/700 2%; Holiday Fund: £256.05/2000 12.8%; Emergency Fund: £25/700 3.5%;

CCL you are doing marvellously, I know you might not think so but you are. I bet bestie says so too. My bestie is currently stressed out of her tree and in hiding. I hope she is ok.
I did Saturday school today and am shattered, so not especially with it tonight
Big hugs XXXNevertheless she persisted.0
