It stretches the time until it appears to stop. I missed my family especially the children. I phoned Katherine several times over the past few months to see if she had mellowed and would consider at a short supervised visit. The answer was no each time and finally she got so frustrated with my calls that she asked me not to call again. Something powerful was driving that woman and I was sure it was Mama and money. It was probably money for the children because Katherine wouldn’t do this for money for herself. Katherine made good money working. My bet was that it had to do with the children’s financial future. At the time I couldn’t come close to matching Mama’s financial gifts or promises of gifts. Now with my new job it was a different story. I got nowhere talking with Katherine. I called Bill and he was no more help than Katherine. It was completely out of the question to approach Mama because I had no proof that she was the problem. I was depressed. I liked to dance and I thought dancing would take my mind off my troubles.
