Now I am depressed. I was already worried about Sherrie. Now I am depressed too. You see, De is sick you see. Mom told me this morning that when she woke up Dad would be bringing her over so I could take her to the doctor. I called a little while ago. She is at their house, Dad is at work and has been since this morning. Seems he gave her a choice, and she chose to stay there alone than come home. Why does my child hate me? I don’t know what to do? I want to make her come home just to punish her, but I know letting her stay there is better for her. Am I that bad a mother? None of the other kids seem to hate me this way. She doesn’t even want to be with me when she’s sick, she would rather be alone. I just wanted to take care of her. Yes I tried to guilt her a bit and let her know how I felt. Let her know it hurt my feelings that she didn’t come home. Why doesn’t she ever want to come home? She wants to play with Liz. She Just doesn’t ever seem to want to come home. I don’t understand it. I want to cry.
