Again, outside validation for my view of my mother. The person who answers the phone at my office couldn't believe the message my mother left. She told me that she and my father were back from my father's important doctor's appt and that I was in to no circumstances to call their house and speak to my father before I had spoken with her. Then she promptly made herself unavailable for the entire day for phone calls by going out and staying out without a cell phone.
Sigh.
And to make it worse, I had *told* her that I wouldn't be at the office and that she needed to reach me on my cell phone, and had her repeat my number back to me and confirm that she realized that that was where she needed to call me. I can't imagine why on earth she called the office except to involve other people in her cloak and dagger theatrics.
I did of course call my father who says that everything is fine other than that nothing has changed. Which is not good news but hardly worth a prohibition to call him.
There is nothing so bad that my mother can't put an alarming and negative spin on it.
