Thanks guys

I left my phone off and decided to go on facebook to catch up with some friends etc and then my brother came onto chat! And then so did my dad asking me questions about my brother....if I had spoken to him anymore and if he was ok. I asked hadnt he been speaking to him..he said yes but only on face book You see, my dad has always protected my mother (she has bipolar, unmedicated, very fragile) so he didnt want to upset her. So I made sure he was ok, he said he was going to sleep and sounded calmer so just told him I was here if he couldnt sleep as I couldnt sleep either. Not after all that anyway. I stayed up watching films until around 4am this morning and checked on him again but he was asleep. Checked on him again this morning and he has gone into town with a friend so alll is good. However, my dad needs to be a dad and he cant expect me to take on my families problems especially when I am not in a fit state to do so. Yes I am feeling better but come on...give me a break! He knows what I have been going through but still he continues to put this pressure on me. Well today, my phoned will be off and facebook will also be off and even my house phone will be unplugged! Need some 'me' time today...gonna relax, to hell with the house chores lol and will have a film fest whilst curled up with my dog on the sofa. She loves a hug and so do I so we're both in for a treat today lol.

Thanks again!
