Elouise’s POV Wednesday 6th September Dear Diary No. Not happening. You are not seeing her. You have just gotten over the last visit and I don’t care if her 12-month sobriety is coming up. 12 months for 18 years of bull s**t is not worth it. Does she even believe you, yet? I yanked my laptop screen to face it in front of me again; Hey Diary, if you haven’t already noticed, Mum messaged me today in the middle of me planning a huge dinner party. Let’s just say, my professor wasn’t happy when I put the guest of honor’s mother in the worst possible position. At the back, near the puppy table. Do I care; mum has been sober for 12 months? Yes. Do I want to see her because it’s a huge milestone? No. Where was she when I lost my first tooth? Graduated from primary school? Middle School? WHEN
