Crumbling world
October 20, 2008 § 6 Comments
So it really feels like my world is crumbling. Everything that could go wrong since the party has gone wrong.
I had to resign my position at the Firehouse in order to save my marriage. Now I have no outlet whatsoever. It is going to be all day, all night, every day and every night with me and the kids. I am going to lose my mind, if I haven’t already.
We are trying to maintain some semblance of civil behavior here, for the sake of the kids.
So the count:
Number of screaming matches – more than I can count
Number of times I called the hubby’s cell phone – 60
Number of times I was hung up on – 60
Number of times I was called a slut or a whore – 160
Number of times I was ready to pack up the kids and leave – 12
Number of times I did – 0
Number of times police showed up – 1
Number of friends being dragged away in handcuffs – 1
Number of black eyes – 1 (hubby)
Number of police statements written – 3
It was not a good weekend around here.
I’m sorry things are so hard right now, lots of hugs headed your way.
Kari – I am thinking of you. I can’t imagine how hard this must be. Please please please look after yourself and be safe. I hope things can get better soon.
Oh my. I am so sorry you are going through this. I don’t know the whole story but please promise you will do what is best for you & the kids (I know you will). It’s just that much of my childhood was spent listening to my mom and stepdad fighting…he was extremely verbally abusive and physically abusive a few times that I saw) and those moments are etched in my memory forever, unfortunately.
I hope that you two are able to work things out but, most of all, I hope you all stay safe and that things get better quick.
Kari- what happened? I wish you would share the rest so that we know what is going on, so that maybe we can offer support! Please let us know.
Oh Honey. I’m so sorry. Things sound a bit rough. I wish there was a way I could help. I’m thinking of you and praying that you have strength, support and resolution in whatever you need to do.
I also want to wish the twins a belated happy first birthday. They are just gorgeous.
I’m so sorry things are falling apart. My heart goes out to you. I hope things work out the way they are meant to be. Please know I’m thinking of you and sending many prayers your way.
