Billie was very, very upset yesterday. She found out, in an almost sit-com style set up, that her Mother has been seeing - A Man!
She reacted, by packing a bag and demanding to stay with me. I disagreed, and persuaded her to stay at 'home', and sort it out.
Of course that is the briefest of synopsis, and I spent the whole evening trying to resolve the matter.
The two strangest things outcomes - I was invited into my ex-wife's home for the first time ever (they've lived there 7 years now), to 'talk' , and secondly, and I admit rather selfishly, I realised that I was a little upset too. Don't misunderstand, I have no lingering feelings for her, but like the big child I am, my concerns were how this new 'guy' would affect my relationship with Billie (i.e. does he have money?) - go figure.
Today, the next day, It's not such a worry, and Billie, via text, is feeling a little better.

By the way, I'm on Holiday, and I'm so very bored...
