Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's.....something?

May all of our weeks calm the fuck down.

I wish! I was up until 11:30 last night filming with Matilda as we try to finish her movie that's her portfolio for applying to School of the Arts. Also we finished a nearly done draft of the essay that goes with it.

It's all stressy this week until it's done.

Crap. I had a 9:00am meeting and my wife texted me that our power had gone out at 9:01am. I didn't take my phone with me. She's super angry that I didn't respond and didn't therefore report the outage. I failed once again. I just can stop fucking up, what the fuck is wrong with me? It's not this is the only fuck up I've had recently either. I wish I wasn't me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

YOU WERE IN A MEETING. WOULD SHE RATHER YOU GET IN TROUBLE TAKING A CALL IN A MEETING?!? IF SHE CAN TEXT YOU SHE CSN REPORT THE OUTAGE.

Gud, call a counselor today.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Gud, you don't seem to hear us when we say, over and over again, that your wife is abusive and you need therapy. Why don't you hear us, when we have all been saying the same thing?

Are you waiting for one of us to agree with your abusive wife? Because that is NEVER going to happen. NONE OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT. She is abusing you.

How many times do we need to say that every bit of abuse your wife heaps on you is evil and wrong? How many times do we need to say that how she treats you is not normal? How many times do we need to say that this is not your fault, that none of this is your fault? How many times do we need to urge you to please please PLEASE see a therapist?

Gud, if your wife could text you she could have reported the outage. I honestly don't understand why that would be your responsibility to do from your job; it's completely unreasonable.

You did not fail at anything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Your wife is ridiculous, Gud. She's presumably a functional human being. She can report a power outage herself.

If your wife can text you to call about the power outage then she can call the power company her OWN DAMN SELF.

You are not a fuck up.

YOUR WIFE IS ABUSING YOU.

You will never be able to do anything right because SHE WON'T LET YOU. IF you had immediately answered the phone when she texted she would have found some other reason to be mad because she is AN ABUSER and this is what abusive people do.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Gud, first, what was said above. If your wife could text you, she could also report the outage. Take it from someone who's been there.

Second, once again, GET HELP! I enjoy road trips. And I've started seeing someone who may enjoy road trips even more than I do. And we live near I-70, so there's a fairly direct route to your city. Do I have to drive out there and drag you to a counselor?
