I've just picked up Lola from ballet class and my temper is extremely short
Work is stressing me and it's not helped by Ethan's constant meddling and check ups
For Gods sake it's nearly been two years
Lola is demanding to go the park and have some ice cream but I'm not having it
She continues whining in the car and in the house
Wrenching my tie off, I throw it to the side in any direction while Lola toddles after me expressing her demands loudly
"Shut up Lola you're not going to the park or getting ice cream!" I roar thunderously startling her
She gazes up at me with her scared bambi green eyes
Her face puckers up before she begins crying and awkwardly runs out of the room
Mortification overwhelms me as I run after her
Lola's slapping her small hands on the back door desperate to go out
"Lola baby I'm so sorry...-" I begin stumbling over my words
"We can go get ice cream and go to the park if you want! I'll even give you some chocolate digestives," I begin desperately dropping to my knees
She's not listening and only cries harder
I reach out to hug her but she jerks from my touch and shrieks
"I want mummy! I want mummy!" She begins crying anguished
My stomach drops as physical pain envelopes my whole being as I watch Lola bang against the door and cry for Nasha
Eventually I open the door and she springs out and cries up at the sky
I watch with a heavy heart knowing that all the money in the world can't make up for the denial of her mothers presence and love
