"sleep, great hair, memory" - would that there were a tisane which could achieve the same! When we return to IPOAT Hall perhaps we should devote our energies to inventing one.
I am still reeling. The children too. They've been busy with school, friends and outings but still, I see it in their faces and how they are with me. They're out with h now, he came to pick them up, ignored me.
I now know that if I had reported it that evening, h would have had an automatic injunction (even though it was not a serious attack) to stay away from the house, from me and the children for 10 days, so am fuming with self for not having done it. He will be summoned to the police station but there will be no prosecution.
At least it has been recorded. That is important to me.
