It's not that I'm not trying to problem solve and work on solutions, I am. But the frustration of re-remembering that I'm dealing with someone who I find completely irrational and extremely hard to communicate with, and that I, of course, can't control, and will never be able to control (even if what is going on is complete crazy making), is humbling, and depressing, and a brutal reminder of just how big and deep and wide some of our bad decisions can be. When you have to work things out over and over and over with someone who doesn't make sense to you, things can get bat-shit bonkers really fucking quickly.
So, in order to sooth my disturbed mind, I'm posting some words of wisdom that will hopefully help me hang on for yet another day of crazy.
You all probably don't need any of these, but bare with me, k?
Love the signs, especially the whisperer one. There are no real guidelines for this situation. Maybe we should get some fireball, beer and wine and your fellow bloggers and write some--what fun.

Ach. Hard situations can be so . . . hard. I'm sorry for you. But I *love* those words of wisdom.

Love you, doll.

Hang in there, Beth! Love you. xo
ReplyDeleteThose are good. My favorite is the first step to forgiveness one. You should purchase the book raising your child's emotional intelligence and use it on this person.
