Yesterday was a very odd day. Imogen and I met her Aunt Sarah in a coffee shop in the morning, she said that she was quite worried about Imogen’s Dad and thought that he needed more help than he was getting. She said that she couldn’t really do too much if he was at home because she had to work but she had started trying to persuade him to come and spend a few weeks with her, she has a friend who works for The Samaritans and thinks that either this woman or one of her friends may be able to help too. But Imogen’s Dad wouldn’t come without Imogen and said he’d only go if she came too. I knew immediately that there was no way that Imogen would go and she started making excuses about why she couldn’t. Then she played a bit of a trump card which was that she said she didn’t think he’d get better if she was constantly there and he was worried about her. But if he knew that she was safe and being looked after at my house then it would take the pressure off him. I said that I thought that would be a good idea and also that it would be good for Imogen as she was getting really stressed having to cope with her Dad. Aunt Sarah managed to talk him into it and they then left to stay with her for a few weeks. Imogen was really pleased but when I said I’d better tell my Mum about her coming to stay she said that she would stay a few nights but would be fine at her own home and I could come and stay with her. It was a bit naughty, but it was also a good idea and meant that we’d get loads of space and privacy so I agreed. We managed to get Mum to agree by not telling her that there was all this trouble with him and just saying that he was away for a week. I realised that I couldn’t leave her on her own so had to sneak off and phone Matt and cancel him and tell him that I may not be able to see him for a couple of weeks. So we phoned up Jed and he came round and we ate pizza and watched DVD’s all night and it was a good evening considering. Jed even stayed the night.
