Things Ex-Wives Say



Today I am thankful for comedic moments.




Okay.....


This morning my ex-husband fell out of the back of a big rig.  He was auditing the contents of a semi-truck and fell out of it and onto solid concrete. 

He caught himself with his wrist. 

He shattered it. 

He hasn't told anyone that he works with that we are divorced. 

I got a telephone call this morning. 

Okay....how did he get to the hospital?

He drove himself. 

He drove himself to the pharmacy for pain medication. 

He drove himself back to the house. 

He missed the smoozing lunch with the head honcho in Oregon.  Damn....I guess this knocks him out of the running for the promotion that would move him 500 miles away. 

*****

In his drug induced state, he seems to say the darndest things. 

He mumbled something about introducing his wee self to the alternate.  

I didn't get it. 

He was grinning.

I still didn't get it. 

I think I needed to hear a drum roll.   

He told me to think about. 

Minutes past. 

I'm so stupid. 

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I looked up at him and said "It's gonna have to be the alternate.  I am NOT talking my old job back!!"

To which he responded, "I love you."

It was the drugs talking. 

I think he would have preferred to have broken a leg. 

Wow...men must go through hell and back when they break their wrists. 

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Time and Trauma

  Today I am thankful for stories; they are often the easiest teaching tool.  The other day I had an interesting conversation with a social worker.  She complained that one of her patients was stuck at a certain year -  let's say... 2008.  This man talks about 2008 constantly.  He shares photos of 2008 and letters of 2008.  I asked her, what happened that year?  Well, three members of his family died.  His best friend died in front of his eyes.  His spouse died.  He lost his home.   The man was wealthy.   Sadly, the evil eye is real.  Covetousness is real.  The U.S. justice system enables abusive lawyers to swoop in and take control of the wealth of well-to-do elders.  There were fights over his assets**.   The lawyers threw him out of his numerous homes.  The man was then homeless while everything went through probate and the relatives fought over the estate.   His wealth ...

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...
