the wife

Sean has been gone for 4 months now I know we had fought but it did not feel like the end, he had been so worried. his eyes had screamed the concern, but I had commitments, I mean i am a social worker I cannot just leave all those children just because he wanted to go on holiday! at first I thought he left without me and would be back we were never really the couple who HAD to do things together, but now I am starting to think he really left for good this time. Before I have the chance to process that thought the phone rings, it is a small mercy Until I check the caller info.
Hi Mum I say trying to soak up all the emoition that had started to ebb out from the realization that Sean may never come back. how have you been? I slowly tune out the rest, my mother and I have always had a strained relationship if I listen to closely I may realize she is insulting me.
