I don't know why mothers are so unpredictable, but there sure are times when it works to your advantage!
At the beginning of the week, she was for coming over to Edinburgh today. I wasn't keen. I prefer not to let her see me when I'm not feeling 100%, because she'd go away and worry herself silly when there's absolutely no need for doing so - and then come the middle of next week, she'd be full of aches and pains caused by the worry I'd 'given' her. It would therefore be all my fault. That, dear friends, is the sort of emotional pressure that has been going on all my life, and which has largely caused me to become like this in the first place...
So I was expecting a big showdown when I called her last night - but no, she'd already made alternative plans with her friend!
I'm feeling really thankful for this, as we'd almost certainly have ended up falling out otherwise, and it just isn't worth it.
