  <WSC#DPC230:0005:MR>
      i never even said anything bad

  <WSC#DPC230:0010:MR>
      they just drew their own opinions

  <WSC#DPC230:0015:PT>
      but did you when they were <.>y</.> you know a <.>f</.> <.>y</.>
      a <{><[>year</[> or so back

  <WSC#DPC230:0020:MR>
      <[>nah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0025:MR>
      nah

  <WSC#DPC230:0030:PT>
      you didn't discuss things <{><[>with</[> them

  <WSC#DPC230:0035:MR>
      <[>nah</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0040:MR>
      my life

  <WSC#DPC230:0045:PT>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC230:0050:MR>
      and they just fell into place

  <WSC#DPC230:0055:MR>
      if they didn't like it THAT'S when i picked it up because they
      didn't like it

  <WSC#DPC230:0060:MR>
      okay <,,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0065:MR>
      but it feels all right for me

  <WSC#DPC230:0070:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0075:MR>
      i mean <,> nah i mean even about <.>their</.> even about bill

  <WSC#DPC230:0080:MR>
      never told them <drawls>anything</drawls>

  <WSC#DPC230:0085:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0090:MR>
      <.>so</.> <.>a</.> and i think that's honest

  <WSC#DPC230:0095:MR>
      <{><[>it's</[> what happened to me not what's happened to them

  <WSC#DPC230:0100:PT>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0105:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0110:MR>
      so when they went home they had no hangups <.>no</.> <,> and
      what <.>a</.> a monster he was and all this <,> <{><[>which</[>
      was fairer <&>7:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC230:0115:PT>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0120:PT>
      no i <.>didn't</.> i didn't used to talk like that to the kids
      until bradley and i broke up

  <WSC#DPC230:0125:MR>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0130:PT>
      and from then onwards i was trying to be careful to explain what
      was happening so that they didn't take on <.>board</.> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC230:0135:MR>
      <quietly>yeah</quietly> <latch>

  <WSC#DPC230:0140:PT>
      THEY didn't <.>start</.> think that they'd done <{><[>something</[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0145:MR>
      <[>i know what you're saying</[></{> i know what you're <{><[>saying
      <unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0150:PT>
      <[>and that's when</[></{> that pattern started of justifying my
      actions <{><[>to them</[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0155:MR>
      <[>it seemed</[></{> like everything though eh <latch>

  <WSC#DPC230:0160:PT>
      yeah <latch>

  <WSC#DPC230:0165:MR>
      yeah never mind

  <WSC#DPC230:0170:PT>

  <WSC#DPC230:0175:MR>
      it's <{><[>no problem</[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0180:PT>
      <[>i'm going to</[></{> say something cos i actually don't
      appreciate being bad buzzed by her like that

  <WSC#DPC230:0185:MR>
      i don't feel very comfortable either

  <WSC#DPC230:0190:PT>
      no

  <WSC#DPC230:0195:PT>
      no eye contact

  <WSC#DPC230:0200:PT>

  <WSC#DPC230:0220:MR>

  <WSC#DPC230:0225:PT>
      no <,,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0230:PT>
      no i'd much rather address it and then if she wants to do that

  <WSC#DPC230:0235:PT>
      well that's fine but i won't go and <.>have</.>

  <WSC#DPC230:0240:PT>
      i won't make the mistake of going and sitting at the table where
      she's having <{><[><,></[> morning tea er lunch

  <WSC#DPC230:0245:MR>
      <[>mm</[></{> <,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0250:MR>
      mm <,,><&>4</&>

  <WSC#DPC230:0255:MR>
      hey um yeah i feel it too but there's <&>8:00</&> nothing um
      <,,> that she doesn't already know

  <WSC#DPC230:0260:MR>
      i mean hey leave her to it

  <WSC#DPC230:0265:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0270:MR>
      just tell her er lay off i don't want to <{><[>hear</[> about it

  <WSC#DPC230:0275:PT>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0280:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0285:MR>
      get on with her own life

  <WSC#DPC230:0290:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0295:MR>
      you're not involving her in it

  <WSC#DPC230:0300:PT>
      well i'm not judging her for HER decisions either

  <WSC#DPC230:0305:MR>
      mm <,,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0310:MR>
      well she <.>doesn't</.> i don't think she's <.>even</.> that's
      even <drawls>occurred</drawls> to her

  <WSC#DPC230:0315:PT>
      no

  <WSC#DPC230:0320:MR>
      but <.>the</.>

  <WSC#DPC230:0325:MR>
      you know casey was one thing this morning but

  <WSC#DPC230:0330:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0335:MR>
      pandora surprises me actually

  <WSC#DPC230:0340:PT>
      i thought she'd actually got a step past that because she was
      saying a wee while ago that my <.>decisions</.>

  <WSC#DPC230:0345:PT>
      it's MY life

  <WSC#DPC230:0350:PT>
      and she was actually saying to casey leave mum alone it's
      actually her life

  <WSC#DPC230:0355:MR>
      quite contrary to that <latch>

  <WSC#DPC230:0360:PT>
      and then when it <O>laughs</O> comes to the point she actually
      can't see it through at all

  <WSC#DPC230:0365:PT>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC230:0370:MR>
      never mind

  <WSC#DPC230:0375:MR>
      <{1><[1>that's the last thing you need</[1> <&>9:00</&> round
      about now <,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0380:MR>
      you <{2><[2>will never</[2> need it

  <WSC#DPC230:0385:MR>
      you've <{3><[3>had</[3> your time with it

  <WSC#DPC230:0390:PT>
      <[1><?>so then</?> i will say <.>s</.></[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPC230:0395:PT>
      <[2>yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPC230:0400:PT>
      <[3>no</[3></{3>

  <WSC#DPC230:0405:PT>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC230:0410:MR>
      you know <.>y</.> <.>th</.> it's all right for to a certain
      point where you discussed everything and that's fine

  <WSC#DPC230:0415:MR>
      and it helped them

  <WSC#DPC230:0420:MR>
      i mean it felt like that <.>wasn't</.> them personally to blame
      <{><[>crying</[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0425:PT>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0430:MR>
      and a lot of that even telling them

  <WSC#DPC230:0435:MR>
      you would've let them off the hook and harboured it yourself so

  <WSC#DPC230:0440:PT>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0445:MR>
      either way <,> can't win

  <WSC#DPC230:0450:PT>
      yeah no i'm gonna speak to her AND casey <,,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0455:PT>
      and say <.>casey</.> <.>i</.> if SHE finds it <{><[>all so
      difficult</[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0460:MR>
      <[>CASEY will say i <.>can't</.></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0465:MR>
      i'm not doing nothing which she isn't <O>laughs</O> <{><[><unclear>word</unclear></[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0470:PT>
      <[>no no</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0475:PT>
      i'm going to talk to her though

  <WSC#DPC230:0480:PT>
      i'll say if <.>sh</.> if she finds it so difficult well then she
      can shift round to bradley's until she finds a flat <,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0485:PT>
      she has PLENTY of alternatives

  <WSC#DPC230:0490:MR>
      and you're not asking pandora to have contact?

  <WSC#DPC230:0495:PT>
      no

  <WSC#DPC230:0500:MR>
      well that's all she said that you know she said oh

  <WSC#DPC230:0505:MR>
      it's <,> i know it's mum's life but you know <&>10:00</&> it's
      the kids <,,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0510:MR>
      it's all her still judging though <latch>

  <WSC#DPC230:0515:PT>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC230:0520:MR>
      no give you some credit

  <WSC#DPC230:0560:PT>
      <[3>yeah</[3></{3> it <.>was</.> even ned said you know casey

      interaction totally discounts that

  <WSC#DPC230:0600:MR>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0605:MR>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0610:PT>

  <WSC#DPC230:0660:PT>
      yeah

  <WSC#DPC230:0665:MR>
      and they <{><[><.>would've</.> she would've been aware of that</[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0670:PT>
      <[>yeah <.>and</.> and</[></{> i <.>only</.>

  <WSC#DPC230:0675:PT>
      my only worry now is how the boys are coping and they're
      actually <.>coping</.>

  <WSC#DPC230:0680:PT>
      <.>i</.> i'm with them all the time

  <WSC#DPC230:0685:PT>
      they're coping fine <,,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0715:MR>
      when you're happy they're happy

  <WSC#DPC230:0720:PT>
      <[>being silly and fun fighting round the house</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0725:PT>
      <.>y</.> yeah <.>th</.> exactly

  <WSC#DPC230:0730:PT>
      and if I'M coping <{><[><.>they're</.> they're perfectly happy</[>

  <WSC#DPC230:0735:MR>
      <[>if you're upset well <.>then</.></[></{> then they get <{><[>all</[>

      <[>but</[></{> casey <.>is</.> is standing RIGHT outside the
      group she has nothing to do with the house

  <WSC#DPC230:0760:PT>
      whether vinnie's there or not mind you

  <WSC#DPC230:0765:MR>
      mm

  <WSC#DPC230:0770:PT>

  <WSC#DPC230:0775:PT>
      cos when he's away she still doesn't come in and BE part
      <&>12:00</&> of the group

  <WSC#DPC230:0780:PT>
      she comes in

  <WSC#DPC230:0785:PT>
      criticises matthew

  <WSC#DPC230:0790:PT>
      tells the kids what to do <{><[>and then</[> leaves again yeah

  <WSC#DPC230:0795:PT>
      very little contact with anybody

  <WSC#DPC230:0800:PT>
      just very superior and very judgemental

  <WSC#DPC230:0805:PT>
      and i'm actually really ready for her to leave home

  <WSC#DPC230:0810:MR>
      <[><?>and</?> <unclear>word</unclear></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0815:MR>

      yeah girls <.>are</.> <,>

  <WSC#DPC230:0840:PT>
      boys do seem as a generalisation to actually be <.>more</.> go
      with the flow

  <WSC#DPC230:0845:PT>
      as long as their little world isn't being <{><[>upset</[> they
      seem to be able to shut off more

  <WSC#DPC230:0850:MR>
      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC230:0855:MR>
      MM
