A really, really bad evening.

Jimmybob came in crying after an evening out with his friends. Not just teary eyes crying but full out chest heaving hysterical crying. And then he set Mutti off all crying. Anyway, I was upstairs for all of this (but could hear Jimmybob's body wracking cries from the bathroom). Am living in the house of doom under the 'death sentence' of Jimmybob's. T minus 2 days until they leave and I am under the death sentence with Vati for 2 weeks.

It's not like I won't miss him but cannot believe all this emotional contagion has left me pretty much unscathed (may be because JB has been a little shit lately as result of leaving, but it's a vicious cycle). Anyway all this depressive crying MADNESS is v. contagious and afraif Vati will fall ill soon. Actually have never seen Vati cry (even when his Vati died) as compared to Mutti who is like me a bag full of tears and instability. In a way can't wait to get back to school to get away from it all although who says it will be any better?
