I had hoped to schedule several sessions in August after returning from a 2 week workshop, to discuss the issues of child care. Geoffrey had told me that he would not hire anyone until spetember and that I would be able to spend the month of August with the kids. This has meant a lot to me. This weekend, after several requests to find out what was happening, he told me he had someone coming now in early August. Now, this morning, Heather tells me it is July 30. Heather also told me I could be with them after July 29 when Sonya leaves until July 30 when the new person comes. It is very important for me to establish that this would be allowed, because I would have to give up a several thousand dollar workshop that NSF (National Science Foundation) thought that they were paying for me to go to, so as I could be with the kids on what now seems to be the only rescuable day for me given these arrangements. The workshop is far away so it would seem unreasonable to not cancel if I would return for a day, as several days and the continuity would be lost. I believe that what Geoffrey has done is certainly very damaging. The last 2 days I was traumatized without understanding the cause and this morning I have been grieving for many hours - having only seen Oliver once since Christmas and only seeing Pam a few times means that I have to regard them as if they were dead and August was to be like that time when jesus arose from the dead (I forget the name). Now it fels like the grave containing Oliver and Pam has been opened up by grave robbers (those that remove from me all hopes for the future) and I am preparing to bury Oliver and Pam again and I feel overwhelmed with grief. I hope you will escuse me writing email but I want to let my feelings surface beyond the tears. regards, Rosemary G.
