Family Stuff

So at first my brother in law was totally stoked about Laura and the kids moving here. He thought, and I agree, that Alex having playmates his own age was a great thing. Now after just a few play dates, he feels he's being taken advantage of. *facepalm*
Can I tell you how often I ask these people for anything? Yeah, like never. Now I remember the reason for that. Ya know it's like my cousin Jeannie, I forget when I'm with her how she totally flakes on visiting, and staying in touch 99% of the time, cause she's just so much fun to be with....with my sister and brother in law, I stay away, far away, most of the time, then I allow myself to be sucked in by them only to have one of them suddenly turn on me and remind me all over again why I stayed away in the first place!!!!
My mom is another one that makes me crazy, she is all about how she wants to help, and she'll do this or that, and she does, but she's so bus helping everyone else too that she overcommitts herself, and inevitably someone, very often me, gets screwed. Maybe I'm being unfair, it's certainly not just me, but I guess it bothers me more because I'm trying to accomplish something here. It's not something for me, but it is important to me.
Oh, and then we come to my step jerk. Lovely man, my boss at one job in fact. He should die. No seriously, I kinda think he'd be doing the world a favor. Somedays I like my second job, some days I hate it, but I always hate the fact that I rely on him for my second source of income. I work two jobs because I have to, not for spending money, *snort*, for bill money!! A second job, in Johnstown, is a necessary evil, but this second job is not working out! At all. Moving closer to my family had been both a blessing and a curse these last 2 years. I couldn't be where I am now, in my own place, paying my bills, etc. if I hadn't come here, but the never ending drama makes me wonder if it was the only solution possible. Why does life have to be so gorram complicated? I feel tired just thinking about all this.

When life gives you lemons...

If you had asked me in high school where I thought I'd be in in 15 years, I'm not sure what I would have said, but I fairly certain it would have been no where near where I am today!!! I'm reading the James Frey novel A Million Little Pieces, and it's amazing how, in spite of the fact that I am not an addict, I really identify with the man. I feel that I am responsible for the choices I have made, I cannot blame them on biology or the failures of my parents, I made a choice over and over to do the things I have done. From quitting school, to driving illegally, to smoking pot and to commiting myself to Laura and the kids. I am not sorry about the last choice, the others I would change if I could. I am angry at Laura. That's not something I have not said to her, nor will I, but I am angry at Laura. She let me devote myself, my life, to being a second parent to those boys then she decided to leave and I was not consulted, they were not consulted. No one but her got a v...

I'm Being Swallowed By A Boa Constrictor...

 My mom may be dying. I just buried my "step-jerk" on December 6th, I wrote his obituary, planned his viewing and burial, made the arrangements, drove Mom, chose Paul's casket, and arranged for the opening and closing of the vault where he was placed. I still have to settle the estate and take care of the final bills, but my mom went to the hospital on January 1st and has been there since then. I ugly sobbed in my car the other day with Duncan and his friend Scott, when it really hit me. Karissa can't deal so she has been hiding ignoring the world and reality. I am not prepared to exist in a world that doesn't have my mom in it I will do whatever I have to to keep moving forward, but when I stop finding ways to keep my hands busy and have time to examine my emotions I will not recover I can't even unpack the fact that the primary source of my teen misery, the emotionally abusive fuck, that sexually assaulted me on two occasions, abused Kim, that treated my mot...

One month in..

By -
almost, anyway. By my reckoning, Maurice and I started talking around April 9th, so we're just a couple of days shy. Let's see then in one month's time, I've shifted Mark back to his rightful place as a really good friend, lost a father I never knew I had to begin with and fallen head over heels for a man who lives 1100 miles away. Oh I've also had my best friend and her three boys who I love like my own move in with me, decided my landlord is a gorram lunatic, and started looking for a new place. Not a bad months work!! I love having L and the boys here, being able to see them all the time after a 2 year hiatus, is amazing. The only drawbacks are a. we're really cramped in this tiny apartment b. My landlord is wigging out that she hasn't got a place yet even though it's been less than a month and c. she is not thrilled with my new interest in Maurice. The last doesn't bother me overmuch, except that I want my best friend and the guy I love ...
