After almost a week of depression started with the Christmas tree and UPS day, I am starting to feel hypo-mania again. I am really starting to believe or confirm I am a rapid cycler. Shouldn't I know this. I have been diagnosed since I was 15. ( I have just started seeking treatment for it though, seriously)
I discover my biggest Trigger- THE MAN!
I started today in a good mood, happy even- excited and alittle nervous about my first day on the sale-ing floor at Macy's!!!!
Then I hear it- The man down stair, bitch that I didn't get the dishes done after dishes. I did dishes twice yesterday and I was so busy with the other course and my schoolwork and spending time baking cookies with my son and cleaning other parts of the house, I thought it could wait till the morning. ( he did mostly just did his school work and played call of duty) I am in a much harder marketing class with material that he can't even
Comprehend ( He asked me to read my assignment to him, which he then said, HUH? too) I laughed.
Anyway- I am really hyper,
Okay, so the dishes incident. I got out of my shower to him in the kitchen making loud noises cursing in the kitchen. I was planning on there a shower, and going right down stair and getting my son breakfast and doing the dishes like my post it clearly stated. I threw my clothes on, not even combing my hair, and got down there, and said, as calmly as I could- but he was to far gone-," Talon, Just go downstairs, I will finish this."
He just got madder. And started yelling at me about not feeding the kid and not doing the dishes last night, I was writing a paper for my learning team till 10pm. I don't think He understand a Bachelor degree isn't like an associate degree. I did an associate degree and was able to get my work done quick too, now I got to put real effort into it.
Anyway, I accidently said, I should of stayed gone, and that made him madder. But he was already saying I don't do anything and that was pissing me off because I did a lot more then him and my down time is doing my resume or doing homework or spend on here. I feel like all I do is write. I even been working on a portfolio.
Anyway- He told me to go be a whore with all the geasy ugly sleeze balls guys I was sleeping around with when I left him over the summer. I was with only one person and that was just that one person that is stuck in my head, and he is far from that. He doesn't have a mental issue, He has a good job. He can take over his father's business if he wants too in the future. he is good-looking and stable. And did not use me, he was very upset, I went back with Talon, he doesn't understand why. But I didn't have a choice. I needed my son to be with his father, and I got threaten with my son being taken from me and with my mental past, there may be a possibility he could, so here I am, learning to love him again- almost loving him again. Today, did not bring me closer but it did bring me a broken kitchen cabin door.
Thats right he put his foot through a kitchen cabin door.
Well anyway-
After that drama, I decide to go about my business- I went and cried to his mom by mistake- I meant to just see if she was going by Macy's because I needed a dropped off. I accidently cried when I said, " I don't know why he is mad at me ( because I didn't realize what I said until he told me later." anyway- she was going to see this house at 1:30, so she couldn't.
So I wanted to take my stuff upstairs so I had everything on one floor to get ready, and that pissed him off, he thought I was doing it to be a bitch in his crazy little head. I was doing it for my own convinces, so I did have to run between two different floors to do my hair and makeup- that's all.
Well, after he started yelling again, I just went into my bedroom to get dress, and he came in and said he would not take me to work. of course I argue this because Macy's works on a 3 point system for new hires, after the holidays if hire back for full time, its 9 points. But if during the holiday you use up all your point you are let go and won't be hired back. So I didn't want to loss a point for not going on my first day. I don't want to loss any points at all during the holidays because I want to stay on.
So that ended with him saying I don't care about the relationship and threwing my make up everywhere.
AND I AM SUPPOSE TO BE THE NUTTER AGAIN. I got alittle upset, but I took it well. I gave him space, clean up my makeup, got ready and then him cool down and gave him a kiss, and he felt all better and I got to work and had a great first day, I made 93% my sales goal of 972 dollars, I would of made it, but I let another sales girl use my registry to get some of her goal, but then she realize she is only on the recovery team, so she doesn't have one. LOL
I went over my manager expectation of my first day, so its all good, I even got to help a women on the floor find a red long sleeve polo for her husband for Christmas. That was fun! :D

Although I understand why you went back to your husband, I am still concerned for you. Men that attack objects in the house sometimes eventually move to their partner. Please watch out for this.
Good Luck!
Best wishes to you, F12.
I do hope and pray that you get things sorted out with hubby, but proceed with VERY cautious optimism.
Otherwise, it sounds like you had a pretty damn good day! Keep up the good work!
Other than that, I must say that YOU ROCK!!!
93% on a first day? That's AWESOME!!
I still gotta say that the woman who f***s up MY house will be kicked to the curb in a New York minute, mother of my kids or not, she's out of the picture - or at LEAST in a state of deep regret for her foolish action(s).
I truly hope it doesn't come to such extremes for you, but PLEASE watch him. He seems like a ticking time bomb to me.
A woman in my life that ever says she :"doesn't care about the relationship" will be dropped like a hot rock.
Breaking ANYTHING in my house is completely unacceptable, and I wouldn't tolerate it. EVER. No "three strikes" for that. ONE strike and she's gone.
I do hope things work out for you both, but it still seems that he is:
1. Not doing his fair share with the house, and,
2. Going so far as damaging it.
That just ain't right in my book.
I truly hope and pray that you get things sorted out, but please do keep a keen eye on this guy. As I said a woman who does this sh** to me or my house will be sent packing faster than she can figure out what's going on.
Still, I am so proud of you for making such achievement on your first day at work!!
ROCK ON, GRRRL!!
Just my opinion, please feel free to take it or leave i as you deem necessary.
Lots of love, and loads of kisses!

Freethinkr70- F12- that's cute. LOL
You are working for the family, he quit his job - he should be doing all the dishes or get a damn job.
You need to raise the bar a little. You sound like an intelligent, motivated woman. Why don't you think you deserve a man that is equal to you?
Not because of your child. It can't possibly be doing him any good to see and hear the violence and attitude that is his father. Kid's soak up everything they are exposed to. Do you want your son to grow up to be like his dad?? Despite any good influence you have over him, he will still pick up on the bad.
As for the dishes making him mad - If they are bothering him THAT much he can wash the fucking dishes or load the dishwasher or however he wants to handle it to where they are not making him mad anymore.
Throwing my make-up??? I can't even say anything to that. I have been with my husband for nearly 30 years. I don't think he had ever touched my cosmetics, he will not look in my purse for something - even when I tell him to. He doesn't bother my stuff, I don't bother his.
I can see, he is already trying to mess you up on your job. Jealous. Please don't let him. YOU have something in your life that brings you joy, that is YOUR'S alone. Tell him to go get a J.O.B. and that should take up any spare time he has to be angry.
Have you ever considered any assertivness training?
