I think Mach will be out for the rest of the week. I heard a rumor that he'll be jumping on an airboat here pretty soon to go hunt for some gators.
LOL!! FIB, I didn't know you were a Nickelback fan. Try listening to 'do this anymore' or 'gotta be somebody.' Those two are pretty fitting.
It's time to put all this to a close. Hell I don't know what's ahead but I'm gonna roll with it. It is amazingly easy to become bitter at this point where I am. I have even had the notion of hitting her with some cold hard truths. It's pointless to be this way though. She did this all to herself and it's her choice as to what she takes away from all of this.
Trapt, you would just be spinning your wheels trying to hit her with some truths. She is not gonna hear them.
It is easy to be bitter about it all. But, that is also such a waste of headspace. I prefer to look at how I have grown, what I have learned about myself and to see a better future. Bitter doesnt change anything and it holds you back.
So, T, the world is your oyster. And one day, someone is going to be very lucky finding you.

She has her own "truth" don't confuse her with the facts.
There are definately better days ahead. Esp if you keep listening to Nickleback
You've got way too much going for you to become or stay bitter. I work with someone that's been D for 20+ years and let me tell you, I have never met anyone so bitter. It's sad. it's a great example of what I don't care to be.
Well my daughter's orientation went great. I'm not going to get into all the strange details with my ex. It's the same old same old. She called two hours later, to ask me to ask my mother to watch them.
Here is something a little different though.....she is angry at me again. She hasn't been this way in a while and we argued a bit.
"you I don't appreciate what I have been doing lately as far as getting things ready for her school!"
"you don't respect me!" "I could at least receive a thank you!"
"you are cold to me!"
"you don't even care!"
"well fine, I'll just call your mom instead of dealing with you."
"The only reason you're acting this way is because I am seeing someone!"
I did validate a couple of things, but I also did not and will not let her get away with the BS ones. Not anymore. Not now that she is supposedly getting help.
I did my best to explain to her where she seems to be missing the mark, without coming off like a jerk.
At the end of the conversation, she did say, "I'm sorry. I am very defensive right now."
I was a bit surprised by all of this. She hasn't been angry in a long time. She seems to be bothered by me being distant again.
