Well I've been doing .. thinking about a lot as I wrote before. Tired - trying my best to think clearly. I can't afford the social life all of the time as funds as dwindling & must be preserved for priorities - child, parent/health but I'm trying to keep GAL up as well b/c it feels SO GOOD! Been reading info. from all over the 'DB map' as you could imagine.
It is so for the 'relatively new' to all this - we do the homework including reading the books ... & check the forums when we can between the 'crisis moments'. For me, I looked for 'sitch specific' info. as I felt I was going crazy initially, with the fallout from the mlc bomb. Emotional (!), fearful & NO one to talk with ...
I think I unknowingly pressured myself, trying to finish as much as possble since I have to make decisions soon re boundaries/cake eating & how to approach. Have been a doormat for about 6 months ... Right NOW - just wish he would go.
I know I have issues. I even wondered if I deserved all this, but I can't believe the hatred & contempt. And to be honest, the thought has been reoccuring (if I deserved all this). I can't even 'slip' with this guy ... it could be anything (!!) .. I asked, r you talking to me? And the reply!! My goodness, are we snappy snappy hateful mlcers!!!
You see, I heard this on 'route' to laundry - I do lots as I have elderly as well & all must be clean re: 'vulnerable'. I'm into the prevention /cure analogy as I really cannot cope with more 'drama' these days . Colds, infections etc - more stuff to pile on my plate!
I heard how "^%#$$ stupid I was" b/c I did not get some info. fast enough. This is what takes place behind door (if I 'catch it') ... before the emergence of the actor - who shows up 'all pleasant' shortly after. Well, 'duh' if you helped MORE, maybe I could do, remember, follow up >> MORE! I CAN"T DO EVERYTHING!
Then his buddy called about 'plans, & it turns into a victim thing (of course). He's used up his $ so he couldn't go 'wherever'... (I really don't care). He goes on with more of the victim thing - "Wishes he could just get out of here." He goes on - it's a "tough sitch" (he's going on & on - oh! for pete's sake, cry me a river already) but has "NO WHERE TO STAY". I hear the disdain for me in spite of the 'front' he regularly presents ... he hates me, & like BF, I don't know what I did to him that was soo blinking terrible & cruel.
I could have thrown him out - I knew he would be homeless. My mother often said "do the right thing" - that way you won't be at war with your conscience down the road when it catchs up (!!) with you (I shouldn't have taken Mom's advice). I could not do this to him & of much GREATER IMPORTANCE, I could not to my child (after so many events have already 'broken' my child. i want 'rest' for my munchkin - time to heal before yet another life event ... so I tried this).
He shows one side under certain conditions and an entirely different side - I left as the malicious talk about me continued. All this - he does nothing and gets ALL his needs met. I love my child but as I walked away - I just thought this is too much. Somehow detaching isn't an effective tool for me right now (feels overrated). However, dragging his butt out and beating the ^%^$% ... well, I will not go there. I just feel rotten. He's being very 2-faced. Crazy ...
I noted that he was interested in my being a partner re: a venture he has, got his copyrights etc (no $$ upfront from me, wasn't getting it anyway ). Anyway, I found it interesting that he did not ask his relatives or 'new found' buddies. It's odd they know who they can trust or NOT - human nature has such a long, long way to go ...
I'm going to sleep. Am tired - a good nght's rest is what I need. Have to sleep on it - Que boundaries? or Homeless dad? Maybe I'll flip a coin ... boundaries? will work better for kid homeless dad - Oh gosh, BUT this one really works for MOI!! Yeah!
