Caseworker called to set up the time tomorrow for Mimi to go. I kept it at 10:30 as was said at the Monday meeting. Then she said “I don’t want a lot of drama tomorrow.”
What? Drama? I am going to be doing everything I have in me to keep it together. I don’t want my kids hurting any more then they will. I don’t want Mimi scared. Crying? I don’t think I can do it dry but I will try. Wouldn’t want her to feel any guilt or go through anything hard for her! I am going to try to hold it together for the kids…..not her!
Then she said “maybe tell the kids she is just going for a visit.” Lying might be something she does when it suits her but my three older kids trust me. They may still tell me lies now and them but they know I have NEVER lied to them and I m not going to do it to these kids either.
We will make it through this honesty, with as little pain as possible….together.
