Sleeping on it helped.
And Mum is being really nice to me - she knows how much it hurt.
I now suspect that she was hurt herself, and chose the wrong person to share it with. She probably worried that if she told anyone else, they might believe D's side of the story.
Anyway, today she has offered me a cup of tea, asked if there was anything I wanted or needed in town and has just shouted up to let me know she's put some bagels in the freezer and I'm to help myself.
I am a little withdrawn. It's my way of dealing with hurt. But I'm not sulking and I'm not trying to punish her. I think she was wrong in telling me, but I don't think it was malicious - that's the hurt talking.
So I'm going out for a walk after lunch, and I will invite her along.
She probably won't come (I kinda hope not, she slows me down!) but at least she will know I'm trying to behave normally.
