My son is having his surgery tomorrow. Your thoughts, prayers, good wishes, and vibes are appreciated.
All the good vibes.
I fucked it up because that's what I do
You didn't fuck up, and that's not what you do. You're a very intelligent, competent, hard-working and productive person who has an abusive, gaslighting wife.
Zen! Fuck those fuckers! I hate them for you.
Nilly! [glances up at Hebrew blessing still over kitchen door]
I'm sorry, Zen. I hope you find a new, better job quickly.
Oh yes, sorry—best of ma to your son condy!
Sending all the ~ma, Cindy.
You may have erred, Gud... but so did your wife. How long ago did she express a wish to see the park? Did she go over the plan of where you were going to drive in detail? Did you two allot hours of travel with a break indicated so that you could stop at the park? And why didn't she say anything until you were well past it?
If she's heaped all the decision making on you, then she isn't holding up her end of the bargain. She just gets the pleasure of castigating you for the 'mistakes' you make. Maybe that gives her pleasure, or at least lets her put some of her unhappiness off on another being.
Cindy, fingers crossed on the surgery!
I led an exercise class today! I mean, low impact, mostly seated in a chair type exercises, but hey.
Best thoughts for you and your son, Cindy!
Surgery~ma for your son, Cindy.
Good luck, Cindy! And Zen, I'm sure you'll find something better.
Gud, please listen to your wise friends. Would you allow anyone to treat your child the way you talk about yourself? You deserve more kindness from both yourself and your wife.
Gud if your wife really wanted to go to that state park she would have mentioned it more than once. She would have said something as you got close, or made sure y'all had enough time to see it. And if you accidentally drove past it she could have used her words and said "hey that's the turn for the state park" like a reasonable grown up does.
Except your wife is not reasonable. She is manipulative and petty and abusive. So instead of speaking up and making sure she sees the state park she really wants to see (or that the oil gets changed in her car or dinner is done to her standards or whatever else) she makes up reasons to emotionally and verbally abuse you.
Here are some links I hope you will use.
