Stop the Coaster, I want OFF!

[ninelives]

Okay Update time:

So i was in Southern Ontario since last Thurs. Had great time sometimes and not so good other times but such is LIFE.

I had to get out of town for a number of reasons.

A) I was still very heated about OM beating up my angel. ( I know dramatic but I mean it) I have visions of that grotesque dung heap touching my wife and it makes me see red.

I didnt trust myself had I seen him in town or even knowing where he was not to do something about it. And I know that would have probably landed me in jail

B) My parents are both sick. My dad is at home with some homecare but it isnt 24-7. He needed help and my brother is being run off his feet.

C) My mom is in the hospital and may never come out to her normal home. May have to go to old folks home for lack of a better term right now.

So on Thurs, I take the bike, go to my home town where my best buddies are. I am tired so I decide to have a few drinks with my buds, go to the bar. sleep and go the next day. There is a friend of mine I havent seen in YEARs who lives in Aba dabi. He invited me to visit him or at least to play goal for his ice hockey team in Thailand next year. IT was a nice time

So on Friday, I continue down south ( BIg Province you yanks), and visit my dad. He is very annoying and demanding and always has been. He has ruined my mom's life but that is another story.

I hang with him on the Friday, cater to him hand and foot , visit my brother and SIL.

Sat I go to visit my mom in hospital in London ONt. Fairly bigger small city. A little unnerved getting there on the bike, then ride about 3 hours to my old hometown again and see friends.

Have a little too much to drink and am seeing lots of highschool friends that just happened to be there. I am getting lots of compliments about my physical shape and How I have managed to stay so young. Get propositioned by one ex school mate and im thinking, its good to be single but way to much going on for that complication. Tempted though, really. Blonde bombshell back in highschool and I would have cut my right one off to be with her back then.

Have a great night. Wake up , go back to see my dad, 2.5 hours away. So im getting a lot of riding done on the bike.

Have some heart to hearts with my parents.

Get a text from a friend of mine. She shares an aunt with OM's wife's aunt.

So on July 1st , OM's wife is at a gathering with my friend. Tells the mutual aunt that OM has been asking to come back home.
OM's wife keeps turning him down.

W and I have some decent talks and some texts but stay away from R talk. I just want to be her friend right now and help her through.

Sunday night we have very good talk about our old show and wishes I was home to watch with her. Me too I say.

I tell her about what my friend says about OM. I ask,

M: Does that hurt you?

W: A little

M: Why does that hurt you after what he did to you.

W: I dont want his life ruined, I ruined his life

M: NO, he ruined his life. He didnt have the right to hit you.

W: I know, I wish this never happened.

M: Which part?

W: The whole thing, i wish i could erase the lastl 2 years.

M: Cant, got to go forward from here.

M: Do regret calling the police? Do you think you overreacted.

W: A little.

M: That concerns me. He beat you up. He needed to go to JAIL.

W: I just feel guilty.

I got home yesterday, we talked a little but not much. I was tired and needed to get to soccer. We talked a little at night or texted but it was distant.

Today,,youngest son had sailing at low island. She was down there.

I will contiue this later. Big conversation. Lots of potential consequences.
