Gud, it makes me sad that your wife is so abusive to you. And it makes me really sad that your kids have to witness it. That's a horrible model for them of how to treat people.

Gud, I try to stay out of your posts about your wife most of the time because I know I can sometimes be an irrational and demanding wife myself, but that is way over the line. The job of a spouse when you're puking in the middle of the night is to ask if you're okay and what they can do to help.

I am pretty sure this is in the contract somewhere. Or at least basic human kindness.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

A metaphorical baseball bat would be a good accessory.

Gud, I hope you are feeling better today.

Today has been rough on the Jack grieving front. I can tell Crowley misses his playmate. I miss him having a playmate. My brain is still pretty darned numb.

AND, last night I found out that a friend from Denver Comic Con has passed away. I have barely known her a year, but she was one of the kindest, warmest people I have ever met. Her loss is devastating. I just can't.

{{{SuziQ}}} I'm sorry so much awful is happening right now.

I'm so sorry, Suzi, that's a lot. Take care of yourself. {{{Suzi}}}

Gud, I won't pile on since it's all been said above, but I hope you're feeling better today.

Here is something I posted on Facebook. It is something I want to say not only to you, Gud, but to everyone here. I didn't want to tag anyone on Facebook, so I am reposting it here.

Darlings, you deserve care and respect. You deserve care and respect from other people and from yourself.

If other people are not treating you this way, it is not your fault. The problem is outside of you. It may hurt inside you, but the root cause is not within you.

If you are not able to give care and respect to yourself right now, that is not s sign of how bad and wrong you are. It is a sign of how much you have endured, that you are drowning in pain. If this is where you are, maybe all I can do is weep with you. I wish you could hear Harvey's sweet gentle healing purrs right now. He draped himself across my chest when I started writing this paragraph. He wants to send you love along with mine.

Suzi, so much heartache. I'm sorry.

Suzi, I'm so very sorry.

Guess who stole half a cup of warm tea this morning and now doesn't want to nap?
