Another hard week

It's been a tough week again. Monday I had my wisdom tooth out that they made the mess of the other month. They had to take a bit if the jaw out as well so I'm in agony. Swelling is going down now but it's driving me nuts.

While lay in bed dwelling on the pain I decided to start a diet. I didn't sleep at all Monday night planning a new me and taking painkillers.

Tuesday I was so tired and pain seemed amplified so I did the sensible thing and went on a bike ride! Yes I regretted it when u was about a mile from the house, my knee cap popped out if joint (fell 2weeks ago and meant to be resting it) the air was so cold it ached my jaw. I walked back with bike and surrendered to my bed.

Wednesday was pretty quiet for me, managed work then chilled out.

Thursday all he'll broke lose! I'd just left my parent house after a morning coffee with dad, he called laughing but I could tell it was more a "you will never believe it" kind of laugh. As I'd driven off mum had arrived home, first time for a long while she has been out unsupervised, she was sober.... But.... She was horrified to find dad still home. Dad is sharp on this and watches her carefully, she is trying to hide her handbag. He asks whats wrong and she waffles about not feeling well, dad tells her to sit down and he will make a cup if tea. As he goes in the kitchen she makes a dive for her handbag unaware dad us now stood watching. She fails to hide the 2 bottles of vodka and the cigerettes in time. Dad takes them off her and stands sobbing, "the first time I trust and hope you don't fall off the band wagon". He leaves the house with the drink and cigarettes and calls me laughing, hysterics.

Mum calls me looking for dad, she is crying saying she needs help, she says she bought booze but hasn't drank it. I already know the answer but I ask her did you get caught and not drink or not drink because you know you shouldn't which is what she is suggesting on the phone. She falls quiet and sobs she was caught. She says she needs help, I was strong and told her to start by helping herself and when she can prove she doing something about it I will support her. She snaps back at me she only wanted a drink today because me and dad don't love her, I calmly tell her we are at this point because of the drink and we do love you we just hate the lies and the person the drink makes you.

She goes off the phone crying.

A few hours later she calls back and says she has promised a special trip for my son can she take him, I tell her no, she isn't allowed to look after my children unsupervised why would I make an exception and especially on a day she gas proved she can't be trusted.

Meanwhile it seems she had called her sister for support, she was drunk and thought it wise to post all the woe on face book!!! My brother calls dad to find out what's happening and it all kicks off! Mum finds out brother knows and kicks off that dad has told him, she is horrified to hear her sister did the telling.

You couldn't write a soap like this could you??

Anyway in short diet going well, face hurts still and my family are driving me nuts!!

Nope honey, you couldn't write a soap like it. You should link it to my background and between us we could have a blockbuster movie!
