Recovery food

Not from a big night out on the town but from a long sleepless night of worry and stress.

I was woken up at 2 am with a call from a very tearful Ella. You can imagine my panic, she could hardly talk.
Yesterday she and a friend drove 6 hours down to Queenstown for the weekend. First time she has actually driven her car that distance so I was on edge about that to start with. They got there ok, she messaged me, accomodation was in an Airbnb unit where one woman lived upstairs.They seemed happy with it but concerned that it wasn’t as private from the home upstairs as was advertised. Just a flimsy lock on an internal door.
So, then comes the 2 am call. They had been kept awake the whole time by loud male voices, screaming and other unsettling noises.
They decided they felt unsafe and left , leaving their belongings and went and booked into a hotel, costing three times the amount. This is when she rang me.
I was so glad that they had left the place . I told her that they’d done the right thing and I would help pay for the hotel, that they were safe and that was the main things do to calm down and get some sleep.

I couldn’t sleep until 5 am.
Heard from her this morning and they’d got their stuff but I’m not sure if they spoke to the woman. They are continuing with their weekend and hope to go skiing today.
The other part of this story is that David was very harsh to me at 2 am and said that I was once again over reacting about worrying about Ella.
I am finding it very hard to figure out him and I and more than once recently have thought that I would like to be living on my own.

In my confusion I also got in a pickle with trying to get hold of my dad this morning. My Aunty passed away last week and I thought the funeral was yesterday and was surprised that dad hadn’t called to tell me how it had gone ( I didn’t go which he was ok about). So I rang my brothers who told me that he was on his way home as the funeral was earlier today!!

I feel completely zonked emotionally right now.
