All I can say is my husband has some big brass balls!  After not being able to contact him for 2 1/2 hours last night, leaving a voicemail, sending a text.....he finally calls.  He says he wants me to just hear him out.  He says his mind is in a bad place and that he is stressing.  I totally understand this but the next thing he said hit me in the face like a brick wall!  He had the balls to ask me to give him money to go smoke crack!  I was speachless for all of 2 seconds then my temper kicked in!  I didn't yell, I didn't scream, I didn't threaten to divorce him (crack outweighs our marriage anyhow).  In a very calm, self assured, self confident tone I told him the following....verbatum! 

     "If you don't turn around right now and come home, I promise you, standing on a stack of Bibles, that I will go pay someone to punch me in the face!!!  Then I will call the police and swear that you did it to me!  Not only will you be in jail by morning, but you will also get all of your back up time (he's on parole) and I will call the jail every day and have you searched so you have no way of getting high in there!  Think about it.....your next decision will definitely affect the rest of your life!"

     I didn't allow him to interrupt.  I made him listen, told him I loved him, and hung up!  I don't know where I found my "brass ones" last night but they were definitely bigger than his!  He called back 2 minutes later and told me he was on his way home.  He actually thanked me when he got here.  He is still stressing and probably always will but at least this time I stood up to him.  I guess what bothers me is that jail time is worth turning around but me and our marriage isn't!  I'm going to think about that fact....just doesn't sit well with me!
