1 Jun 2004 - Protecting Loved Ones
|
|
Sometimes when we are trying to protect the ones we love and care about, we actually end up causing more pain. When its bad news we cover it up or sugar coat it. I am no exception. I hate to see people I care about hurt. But then again I also don’t like not being informed of the important stuff. Over the past few years I have been trying to repair the relationship with my mother and father. During my marriage things were said and done and I went many years without talking to them. After I started the divorce proceeding, a friend of mine persuaded me to start the relationships over again. I discovered that my mom had a stroke and I was bitter that even though we were not talking that no one called me. Today those feelings resurfaced because I called my mother this morning to see they are doing. I usually talk to her two or three times a week. I last talked to her on Thursday of last week. They were going away for the holiday weekend. So I call this morning around 1100. And I get informed that my mother had had another mild stroke Friday night. First I wanted to raise the question, Why didn’t I get a call? But I could tell dad was under a lot of stress. And the second thing I wanted to ask was What the hell is a mild stroke? I mean a stroke is a stroke! The first one that I know about sent her mid backwards to where she thought she was in college. She had problems with motor skills and some with speech. This one interfered with her speech abilities even more. I want to go postal on my father but I know I can’t. He is having enough problems already. But I have to admit we are all responsible for causing this kind of pain to those we care about.

1 Jun 2004 - I made it through this day
|
|
Things just got worse through out the day. I not only ended up having to talk to the ex, but I actually was within 10 feet of her. See she wanted three dogs during the divorce. I gave them to her with out a fight. But for the last year she has not gotten them. So I have been feeding them and taking care of them. A few months ago I lost my house but still owned the land the dogs were on. So I have been making a drive out to the farm to take care of them. Well I get a phone call today from the county animal officer. He not only accused me of neglect but also threatened to charge me and arrest me. Oh I got an attitude and told him to go ahead. I have signed divorce papers in hand and the dang dogs were hers. Well I had enough of this garbage so I headed back out to the farm to take care of the dogs. I was going up the driveway and noticed dirt in the air. I figured the realtor was showing the property. NOPE! It was the ex and her "wonderful" mother. So I drove over to my aunt’s house and visited there for awhile. I then checked on the dogs and confirmed that she had removed the dogs finally. If I could download her messages off the answering machine to the net, everyone could her what kind of person she is. Oh well. It’s the end of the day
