when x first went nuts (= "massive entitlement exposed", part 1) in 2006/07 he said that I "would do the same thing if I had the same opportunity."
I was flummoxed. WHAT?? No I would not.
He said "25, you LOVE acting (um, okay that's true...)
"and if you had the chance to be in a film with Meryl Streep - you would take it in a heartbeat!"
ME: you mean a film that took me away from our kids for 2 years?
X: well, yes...it'd be your dream
ME: No, I would not do that.
X: yes you would. Be HONEST...( I should have said "'honest'what's that?")
ME: NO x, I am 100% positive I would NEVER leave our kids for 2 years.
In fact, if the Pope himself told me to go to Africa and that I'd then be able to cure cancer and save millions BUT miss the kids lives for 2 years,
I'd have to talk a whole lot to the kids and pray hard AND if the kids did not consent, I would not go." AND I meant every word of this^^^ and still do. But my point is, x did not believe me. X thinks "everyone" would do what he did.
He thought that leaving your 2 d's at home with your w, after 25 years of m then, so you can do a fellowship 300 miles away (and not, btw, the closer fellowship)
and then leave again, for a JOB in a PLACE YOU love...Alaska and which no one else loves but in which we all had lived, FOR HIM...
sure, everyone does that all the time...
Only they don't. Good people don't leave their kids, or the mothers of their children. Good people don't lie. Good people don't steal or cheat or abandon and they are not cruel. Love is generous and honest.
H does not see this. H thinks - I believe - that ALL of his choices were due to others or to his natural entitled and well deserved "rewards."
So I leave to you fine folks to tell me, what would it take for you to leave your kids for 2 years, one of whom was entering her junior year of high school and the other was 8.
THINK HARD now...would it be "a lot of beer", "Free NFL tickets"?
a Billion$$ AND only after long talks with them to get consent?
My bff said she "might do that -for a BILLION$ "if I knew that the rest of my life would be spent making it up to them."
How about if I KNEW I could end war and for all time??? Okay, I confess, then I might do it...
OMG I AM JUST LIKE MY X.... proof^^^^^
