Good night Yuva.
Yes, Brooke will always love her mother. And that is as it should be. I work very hard at not saying bad things about her mother. Even today. It does not accomplish anything. Even when Brooke bad mouths her mother, I do not add onto the
criticism. As for not sleeping well when Mac is out. That will take some time. I had to deal with Brooke being upset with me and being gone for two years. Now that she has come back, her being out does not bother me. I keep my cell phone close by in case she needs me. But I sleep fairly well while she is out. She thinks she gets in the house without waking me, and I never tell she did wake me. It does not take much noise to wake me up. Actually, it never has. Some sounds I get used to, and do not wake up. Anything new, wakes me up and I am trying to determine if it is something I need to address. It has taken me almost three years to get used to the cat getting up before me and jumping off the bed. Now she can do it and I do not wake up. That one has no noise. Just movement. So give it time. Mac is a big boy and very capable of taking care of himself. Just be patient with yourself and you will eventually be able to sleep through it. You will never stop worrying about him or Meaw. But you will learn to accept their lives and move on.
News articles are critical of the Prime Minister. Claiming he is working towards being a dictator. I would say these are very biased reports from an unknowing liberal news organization. Usually theses kinds of reports come from people who do not know or understand the local situations. They are just into popping off and taking advantage of being several thousands of miles away from being held accountable for their statements. One of the big problems with today's internet. To many people trying to get a rise out of someone and not caring about the unintended consequences of those actions. I call them the cowardly left. They make unsubstantiated claims or comments and then watch the confusion and ciaos associated with those accusations. Anyway, no need to get on my bandwagon because I know how.
Pleasant dreams and sleep well. I think about you all the time.
Hugs & Kisses
