Paul's dad and his Uncle Peter were going to come down from Thanet today and visit Mo this evening,not very happy about it at all! Paul had asked me before Mo was admitted to the Hospice about it and he wanted to know how I felt ,I told him I wasn't happy about it as Mo and I have had nothing to do with his dad or uncle,no visits or any contact whatsoever with them for over ten years.The last time Mo had seen Bruce,her ex-husband,since we had been together was when they went to Pauls wedding,yonks ago which didn't last.I told him that I didn't want to rake up the past as it was 'ancient history'and I didn't want Mo getting upset with it all and bring back some painful memories for her.It was the last thing Mo needed and could possibly make her worsen,old emotions and feelings can work in a negative way.Paul agreed with me but I could tell he wasn't completely convinced.Anyway to cut a long story,short,our previous conversation about it DIDN'T MATTER,how I felt about it DIDN'T MATTER, how Mo could react DIDN'T MATTER. Paul had managed to piss me off once again,riding roughshod over mine and his mums feelings and allowed them to visit! He said that it would 'be good' for his mum to see Peter and that she will be 'pleased' to see him, I just hope Pauls right!!. I haven't got a problem with Pauls dad coming down to support him but I would prefer it if he didn't visit Mo,I mean she's only seen him ONCE in over ten years for crying out loud but its not my call I guess. If Bruce the 'ex-husband' or 'Uncle bloody Peter' upset Mo in any way I will not forgive them...or Paul!?!?
