soubriquet 0 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Lovely this morning. Cool grey and damp, with lovely soft light. I've been out for a long walk around town and took the camera. Urban landscapes and urban renewal. Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Looking like winter in Tokushima. -mainly sunny, with occasional squalls... even a little sleet in the air at one point. Must be dumping somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Angry. No1 son isn't coming this season because of his fear of his mother's anger. She needs to control, and the thought of him freely coming to Japan makes her angry. He's going to spend the summer (winter) in Perth instead. That way she can take out her anger on my child.

soubriquet 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Morning. I'm awake and sober and deeply troubled. It's nearly 4, quiet, still and overcast. A black night. My ex- rules my children with the rod of fear. This winter they won't be coming to Japan because I won't be ruled, by her, through them. They won't stand up to her because she's a master of the vehicle of hidden child abuse: her tongue. I'm at my wits end to find a way to have a normal respectful relationship with my children.

stemik 14 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Morning I feel for you there Soubs. I am not sure what advice to give as a year without seeing your kids must be unbearable. Just hang in there, send lots of letters, Xmas presents, phone calls. Hakkers a little warmer than yesterday 6c. Light rain but hopefully clearing up later. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Thanks stemik, and others. It is utterly pointless to try to negotiate because within 10 seconds it's a screaming match. Sunny now with broken cloud. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Spiffing now. Cloud has virtually all gone and I can see Gassan. Snow! Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Is visiting them a possibility? Something like renting a beach house for a summer holiday? Cold, crisp and sunny here. Actually not that cold, window is open and I'm only wearing a tank top under my sexy lab-coat-uniform-type-thing. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 It's a terrible dilemma. Standing by your principles when it causes you and your family emotional pain. There is no right answer here. At what point do I state to someone who is utterly repugnant to me "I won't let you rule my life any longer". I won't be going to Australia, and they won't be coming here, until it is unaccompanied. It causes me sleepless nights, and sometimes the genie comes out of the bottle. Sorry. Beautiful this morning. I've seen Gassan, and Chokai san for the first time in months. Link to post Share on other sites
