Time to Say Goodbye

Day 35 Wednesday

As I arrive home from work today, the girls' are obviously excited about going home today. Their Mum packs up most of the stuff and the door closes behind them.

I still have mixed emotions. It's a relief that the house is so quiet but I can’t help wonder what their life will be like at home. Would they be better off with me in the long term?

I still feel angry and as if I’ve been used and treated like shit. When I got that call 35 days ago, I swung into action to sort her house out and make it a home for the children, whilst my sister did nothing except carry on as normal. She went on her trips while I spent my weekends there clearing rubbish and crap from the house.

Am I stupid? I feel like a prize idiot and have been well and truly used.

It’s nice not have to go up and down the stairs every five minutes as the girls mess about at bedtime, but I can’t settle and I’m restless as I sit on the sofa trying to relax in front of the television. And later I find it hard to sleep.
