Wife checked out (2)

[2ltl2lt]

Back to my saga:

Incidentally it was during this general time that I first met my W. After mom got out of the hospital she went to live with some of her biker friends and her BF sold the trailer house we lived in. He moved to another close by neighborhood and agreed to let me and my brother stay there until we figured out what to do. We were there for about 6 months and we're working for him after school doing AC work. Then he has her move in. HER!!! The pos that shot my mom. I went berserk!! I had a buddy of mine that agreed to let my brother stay with them and I went to live with my GF (not my now W) and her family.

Her family was understanding and very hospitable. I had to sleep on the couch and not go into her room for any reason but it was ok. Her mom was quite the cook and did my laundry and made my lunch. We got along pretty well for the most part except my tendency to stay out and not tell anyone where I was. I never had any ground rules before and didn't adapt well to having to answer to an adult. It started causing problems between me and GF so I left their house and stayed for the rest of the school year in the National Forest campground in a tent. I would shower at school in the morning and fish for my dinner most nights. I was working at a dog kennel after school that gave me enough for gas money and the like.

That summer I went to stay with the same buddy where my brother had been staying. Brother moved out a month before I moved in with them. He and mom rented a trailer house together. This was a pretty good summer. The summer before my senior year, lots of parties and good times. I stayed with them for most of the school year and started seeing my XGF again. She got pregnant and I thought I had to quit school and go to work. So I did. She miscarried two months into it but we had already rented an apartment and I had a pretty good paying job so I figured WTH let's try to be adults. We lived together for a year or so and things were going ok. We decided to find a house to rent and moved shortly thereafter. She didn't want to work and we were always low on money. We started fighting about it all the time and I finally had enough and broke it off with her for good. Afterwards my brother and a buddy of ours moved in the house with me, we all worked at the same place so it was easy for us to carpool and help each other out.

Then in September 97 I ran into my now W while she was home from college for the weekend. And the rest is history and outlined in my opening post on my first thread. There are a million interwoven stories within this tale that I will expound upon in future installments. If anyone is interested.
