Mum’s just phoned. Obviously my news has hit her badly, she is 88. I have normally gone to meetings on my own due to child care difficulties and trying to keep life for my daughter who has Down’s syndrome, autism plus as stable as possible. I have been able to keep it together that way. My mum, wasn’t a case of “can I come with you?” It was, “I want to come, when are you picking me up?” She cried on the phone yesterday and couldn’t speak to me. Thought she wasn’t going to be able to visit in the pm but she came and seemed stronger. Her call took me by surprise and I just gave her a time. I only prayer she can be strong for me at the meeting. If she crumbles then I will. Then I find it harder to pull myself together to return to my home. I heart and head are saying that she must need this. It may help her. My gut is on edge.
