I'm slightly confused.
When Felix and I got here at dad's house, he was so happy to see us. And I mean ecstatic. Obviously the long squeezy hugs were so nice when he greeted us and when he whispered in my ear, 'welcome home sweetheart', I felt almost sad. I didn't realise how much I had actually missed dad.
Over two weeks has gone by without seeing him and it has gone unbelievably fast however looking back it seemed like forever since we'd been in the same room as him. I just don't understand why, in the two weeks that we had been moved away, he couldn't have come to our house to see us. That actually would have been so helpful for mum. Like I said before, she has been such an empty shell and no matter how many hug attempts and struggles at making light conversation with her, she barely cracked a smile. She looks completely broken.
This is why I am so confused. From my understanding of mum and dad's break up, it was mum's decision. The screams and tears from that day that dad was forced out of the house makes me believe that he did something so bad to her. I need to know for my own curiosity what that thing was.
Mum also told me that we're staying overnight now, instead of just having tea, so surely if dad did something unforgivable she wouldn't want us here, right?
I miss this house so much, Uncle Zane. Dad had to buy basic furniture for our bedrooms because we took ours with us but I still get to sleep in my old room for possibly the last time. I didn't realise that dad would have to put the house up for sale. To be honest I never took any notice of a lot of things until recently. We are living in a rented flat until dad is able to sell the house and can give mum half the money to buy another one. I didn't realise this and in hindsight I probably shouldn't have made such an effort on my new room if we'll be moving again soon. Oh well, at least it's comfy.
I also asked dad if you'd be coming round this weekend but he said that you were on holiday. I asked where and he said he didn't know, which was really weird because you two are twins and are basically joined at the hip! Strange. Maybe it's the whole break up thing that's made dad's head a bit mushed which is understandable. But I hope you're having a great holiday wherever you are!
You know what has literally just entered my head right now? I go back to school in just over a week! God, I am so excited. I'm ready to get back to some sort of normality.
I've also been texting Fin and things are feeling so good. He keeps joking that he's going to come and knock on dad's front door and introduce himself but that is just anxiety inducing. I know he won't but still. I think we're going to go on a walk in the morning seeing as he actually lives about 15 minutes away from dad's house. Exciting.
Hope to see you soon, Uncle Z 🫶
