You are so right about that ,FLTC. It is as if we are not even playing in a fair fight or something?? As if it is a dirty fight where we play by the rules and they do not have to. They can lie and cheat and steal and do anything for damage control while we have to tell the truth, remain faithful, and keep accounts of everything.
I have to still be a role model in every aspect of my life. Even while I am at the bar I am on stage. At my D's school, I am a dutiful mother. As a teacher, I still have my profile up which shows me as a married woman, for some reason I think it gives me more credibility but in reality I think the truth would be better?
Even while people say condolences regarding my separation at the bar, I say, "My H and I are still best friends. You'll never hear a bad thing out of my mouth." That diffuses so much gossip and believe me the gossip about his emo affair and MLC and etc. is pretty bad even for a bar filled with ex cons and drug dealers!
Yes, the emo thing is very childish and the word and music comes from "emotional". It actually went out of style a few years ago in California and the Look is now mainstream, available at JCPenneys and such. The skinny jeans, sweat hoodies, effeminate hair styles, sunglasses, anorexia, political causes that seem pointless. It is about conformity and my H was always a non conformist to a fault. I am sure he is doing all this to impress his mistress.
