I was supposed to have my brother for most of this week, it being half term. I took the week off work. It required a lot of planning because my mother and I do not get on and I didn't want her in my home, so I agreed that I'd meet her halfway (1.5 hr drive as opposed to 3hr drive) with the kids in the services for lunch and then drive my brother to ours. Only now she's gone and thrown a spanner in the works just to make a point. He apparently cannot come now until Friday and he gets picked up by my sister on Sunday, which means I only have one full day with him!
And she had a bloody go at me on the phone - she still thinks she's the innocent party and we are all evil, naturally!
If it wasn't for my brother I wouldn't have any contact with her at all, but whilst he is still with her I have to keep doing these things and no matter how hard I try, she still manages to get to me!
