  Mum is coming over today

  by Es in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  even tho i have left the "truth" not officially (long story) but in my heart i have, and i havent been to a meeting in bout 2 years or so.....and my parents know where i stand with the truth, i still stress out when my mum or dad pops in to say hello (not that is is regular).

  but today my mum is coming ova, my relationship has been really strained the last 3 months so i havent seen a lot of them.

  but instead of feeling good bout it im running round my place hiding things such as recent bday cards and my fiances clothes and movies.
