Can’t Even Be Sick in Peace
As you know, not feeling good over here, but I guess I’m better today than I have been. I’ve stopped taking all the medication, just because I’d like the stone out of my system before I show up for work on Monday.
Anyway, last night, while I was sitting here minding my own business, there was a knock on the door. It was my daughter and she was in tears, and there was my ex-husband behind, chasing her up the stairs.
There was screaming and yelling – I told them to come in, I’m sure the neighbours didn’t need to be part of this. As I gleaned what the story was through all the yelling, it turns out that the drunken ex-husband (who not only drove here drunk with my daughter in the car, but also had an accident earlier on in the evening), was accusing my daughter of stealing all his roaches. Supposedly he had about 10 roaches in his car and they were gone, so he was accusing her of taking them.
She told him he could search her, she didn’t take them, but he was having none of any normal conversation. As a matter of fact he once grabbed her and made like he was going to punch her – while half falling over my furniture, and I pulled him off. I also asked him if he wanted me to call the police.
There was another altercation when he came back screaming for her to give him his house keys, he wanted her out of there, she could go live on the streets. I told him that she wouldn’t be giving the keys back, that all her stuff was there and that she’d need to go get it.
So, needless to say, my daughter stayed here overnight, we got calmed down, watched some TV and all went to bed.
As I think back on it, it’s not that I was surprised by this outburst, nor even him showing up here – I seem to be the go-to person in bad situations.
I was just thinking though, what a big fucking nerve he has to show up at my house, drunk, putting me in the middle of his problems – not even thinking about me being sick, although he knew I was sick. It’s all about him. What a pathetic loser he is. While he wasn’t this bad when we were married, the potential was there and is there in full force now that he doesn’t have a wife to tell him what’s right and wrong. And how sad is that for a 47-year-old man?
I got a phone call from him this morning, which I didn’t answer. I was trying to sleep in some more for my cold. Then another call later which I answered and he proceeded to tell me that “I guess I overreacted a bit last night”. Over reacted? A bit? WTF is wrong with you is what I wanted to say. WTF is wrong with you?! However, he probably doesn’t even remember half of it, but he wanted me to tell my daughter to give him a call later on because he’d left some money for her at home since he was going away for the weekend.
It’s very hard for me to believe I was ever married to that guy. I tried for 8 years, and I’m very thankful that I got out.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
