So I spoke to the mother yesterday. She was very grateful for my help and had a million thankyous to say. Big sad story about how she wasn't coping etc.

I suggested that next time she thinks about going away she should make better arrangements for the kids etc etc. She assured me she would do so blah blah.

Anyway, hopefully she'll never go away again. That's all I can say. She's a pretty good mother when she's around as far as looking after her kids goes.

Very boring end to the drama. I'm sorry there's not something more exciting to put here, but I guess in my view, it's about the kids and at this point, they're none the worse for wear so I guess it's a bit of an all's well that ends well.
