Sheesh...only May
And this year has already been a roller-coaster ... triumphs and tragedies.
In the latter category, my ex-mother-in-law just passed away. I'm getting very tired of seeing people in my life getting buried. Although, that in itself is not what bothers me most. She was old and had been ill for a long time and had come to some peace on her imminent passing (she didn't die of her illness, just did what so many elderly do...slipped quietly out of the backdoor while asleep). And I'm glad, too, that I'm here in California while the viewing and funeral are in New Jersey. Why?
Ex-husband.
Thankfully he's in the air right now due to land in Newark in the next hour or so...otherwise y'all might be reading about me on the evening news because I so wanted to get into my car, go to his place of abode and beat the living crap out of him.
Long, gossipy story I haven't shared yet. However, I look at what he's become and I wonder what happened to the man I married long ago and had many good years with. I don't recognize the self-centered, mean-spirited, deadbeatdad, con artist that has inhabited his body for the last ten years.
One tid-bit of the latest? He just got $124,000 (another long story) but did he even offer to have his girls accompany him to Jersey for their grandmother's funeral? No, because he doesn't want them there. And what the girls don't know yet, but I do, he's planning on never coming back to California. Even for Siobhan's graduation.
Seething doesn't make for coherent writing, so more later.
