Just when you thought it was safe to go into the water...

Have had a very challenging day and am not feeling particularly in the mood to blog much. It all started at 8.00 when I got to work and was welcomed by an email from my father, in response to my call to him yesterday. The upshot of this is that the email he sent last week was a false friend. Any pretence at an olive branch was sent to fish information from me which has been chucked right back in my face. I was totally shocked. The calls I made to him later went rapidly downhill as I was so incensed. It has come as a complete blow that all this time, he has been aiding and abetting my poisonous mother and that they would rather add to my stress at the moment than alleviate it. I mentioned yesterday that her timing was lousy as K’s dad is so ill, and he accused me of emotional blackmail…again, his standards may be that low but I would personally never consider using something like that to ‘bolster my case’. The facts are pretty clear – I have a very unpleasant family and am actually better off away from them and their toxic (read vindictive) behaviour. That all said, it’s not nice to face up to the fact that any hopes (however slight) of a reconciliation have been dashed.

Have felt alternately sick and full of rage all day. Am leaving shortly as I am next to useless and have done all the candidate work that needed done today. One of those days that I wish I could say had never happened; but it has.
