Yesterday was, strangely enough, just as fraught as all the other Thursdays, Daycare day and yet very different. This was the first time her son took her for the afternoon and yet I still got the built up tensions, moods, and temper tantrums. Once he arrived she went with him ok but ignored me totally and the same on their return when she just wouldn’t engage although no nasty stuff. Apparently he took her to see her two ex sister-in-laws who she has consistently refused to visit when I have suggested it and she was well and chatty throughout I am told.
Next Thursday is a Dementia showing of ‘Summer Holiday’ and he can take her there. As I gave the daycare center notice of pausing her attendance for 2 weeks the quandary arises about from then on as, if I cancel and he stops taking her I will have lost her placing, and its very hard to get onto any of daycare centres around here and so it would be goodbye to my half day respite time.
I just have a feeling it will all end not well for me, I don’t know why!
