"What ever comes, I will face it. I will be ok again, oneday."

Ok, so I found out that a friend is cheating on her husband. She sings in church every sunday morning, never misses church. He is such a good guy. A good dad to his son and even to her son from a previous marriage. He is devoted to her but he is in her words.... boring???? Wth does she want? A party every night? Any way, it opened an old wound and it is keeping me up at night. I would never tell her husband, simply because I wouldn't know how to tell him. I know what damage this will do to him. I know what it did to me. Loving someone and then being betrayed by them like that... Its killer.

 

Fucktard is still an ass. He has his big kids this week or until she goes off to college. I think she is there so he can get her what she needs for her dorm cause I don't think her mom would let her have any say in choosing anything for her new digs. He said it was going to be stressful for him because she was going to nag him about cleaning up the house. His house is really bad, you can barely walk thru it. There is a little path thru each room, except for the big kids rooms and their bathroom and his daughter keeps those clean. So he calls me yelling, screams at me that I am annoying the hell out him because I called and didn't leave a message.... News flash... I never leave a message. I simply text him a short message about what I need to talk to him about. I should have hung up then but I didn't. I pointed out to him that I did not like talking to him when he is like that.... after the official business was over, the chit chat.... like boy baby got his hair cut and didn't even whimper... he asked me about the babies, I was telling him... he laid the damn phone down... wasn't even listening.... I asked him if he was still there, no response.... i said "did you lay the phone down?" no response... Last statement I mad was " you are not funny" and I hung up the phone. He calls back after a minute and I didn't answer, I sent his sorry ass to vm.... He RAGES! Its true, you do teach people how to treat you. I should have never let him by with yelling at me when I answered the phone. Things had been going pretty good with the communication with us so this conversation caught me off guard. Anyway, until he is civil, I will not be taking his crazy ass calls. I don't treat him like that and I willnot be treated like that either.

 

So on to my next bitch.... I still don't have a job.... Still jobless and only one interveiw in over a month. That was for a part time postion. My other option is to go back to school. I really want to do this. Can I really afford it? Its going to take some serious discipline on my part... Even after I finish, will there be a job out there for me? I really want this job at the prision. They are suppose to start looking at applications this week. Both of the ladies have been out for a couple of weeks each. and plus it is a state job so its going to take a while. I keep thinking about how I don't want to lose my house. Damn it, I haven't evn had it a year and I would have no where to go if I lost it. I know I can do this... I know I can. I lived on way less when I left the fucktard and I made it but of course I didn't have this then house either.

    Tough one with the friend and her infidelity..tears so many family's apart. Maybe a sit down with her to help her see the light. Don't blame you for not taking his calls - hopefully in time this will work out, at least for your kids sake. Going back to school sounds interesting. My SIL just started back - she loves it and once completed, good salary. Lot's of sacrifice there, but if there is a will there is a way. Extra good luck on the job search....

    Sounds like you are way overwhelmed. I know the feeling. What are you interested in taking if you go back to school?

    I am so tired of my own divorce dragging on. It has cost me Over $10,000 so far. I would have told you there was no way I could ever come up with that much money. Thing is it is digging me into a hole I won't be able to get out of.

    I understand you wanting to hang on to your house. I don't know why I want to hang on to mine. It is run down and needs a lot of work. Still it is a symbol of independance, I think. You (generally speaking) worked hard to get it, too, so it is a kind of defeat to give it up. Still, it is just a house ( I tell myself).

    Wonderful church goer, your friend. My husband thought I was boring, too. That is an excuse for infidelity? Did your friend tell you that?

    I never have to talk to my husband. There is a restraining order. I want to keep it that way in part to avoid the kind of phone frustrations you talk about.

    Good luck on whatever you decide to do. You are approaching crunch time with schools about to start for the fall. Sounds like the job scene is about to produce or not soon as well. Something will happen soon.

    Infidelity hurts even if it "just happened once"... I found it easier to not know and I never got mad at the friend that "knew, but didn't wanna hurt me"... Matter of fact, I wish I still didn't know...
    I just love you and your family to pieces...

Journal Entry for July 5, 2009 Mood
Sunday, July 5, 2009 | A General Update story

Like a lot of of others lately, I lost my job. Laid off. So I have made some very tough choices. I thought I might take this chance to finish college. But I really need to work. I applied for a position with the state (at a prision) making about 8 g more a year than my previous job. I haven't heard back on any of the jobs that I have applied for. Not one call.  School starts in Aug.  Should I enroll? I figured a budget soley on my child support. I had to let the Jeep go to make ends meet. I called them to come and get it and they did. I can't afford two trucks. One is paid for so I kept that one. My credit is going to be ruined! But, I will be able to afford the house without a horriable struggle. Sucks, but I will do what I have to do to keep this home. Its not just four walls, its our home. Its where we are safe and happy.

 

Fucktard has recruited his daughter to help him try to tourture me. Guess what.... its not going to work. She text me a stupid threat.... I told her that there was nothing she could say to me that would mean anything to me now. He thinks he still has control of my emotions. How little does he know.

 

My best friend Mark has been my rock during this very hard time. He has been supportive and encouraging. And sometimes to full of advice.

 

My family has been really not much help. Even when I ask for help.

 

I feel alone again. This is so hard. Making all the choices alone.  Sleepless nights. Worry, overwhelming worry.

    It seems like our lives are full of trials. When does it ever end? We make due with what we do have. When things do get better, hopefully we remember what those hard times were like and try to prepare for them. We can make...we have for over thirty years now.

    The trials in our lives don't ever end. I think that more and more I am able to take a deep breath, do what I can at the moment, and watch for things to work themselves out. It doesn't always happen the way I want, but it DOES always happen. Sometimes the only thing we can do is hang on for the ride and try not to fall off.
    Your family may not be measuring up at the moment, but it sounds like you have a very good friend. I wouldn't be making it right now if it weren't for the unbelievable friends I have. I think you have a lot of friends here who have very broad shoulders to rest on. Use them while you catch your breath.
