I'm sitting at a cafe waiting to pick up Roi. He spent the weekend in New York and then extended his stay by two nights. Without asking. Certainly without respect to my schedule, or my triggers. He was decidedly unapologetic about it. Heck, he went so far as to guilt me.
But then, I know this. This is Roi, and this is how he does life. It's good to no longer be surprised by his absurd behaviors. Better still to be focusing on what I want to do, where I want to go next, and how I'm going to get there. Sometimes I wonder if Roi was sensing my movement away from him and felt compelled to buy a house, not JUST because the market was right, but because unconsciously he may have thought I would never leave if there was a house.
I'll admit. I had a brief few weeks of worry about this - that I wouldn't want to leave for love of a house.
As my last post indicates, I no longer worry about that.
Right now the only thing I'm worried about is Kyd. Those worries could fill three volumes, but in the best summary I can give. Kyd is facing 90 days if he doesn't come up with a pretty large sum of money between now and next Thursday. This is for the DUI and accident he was in 3 and a half years ago. He's not been able to find work, nor be stable enough to look properly or present himself as a desirable employee.
I don't talk about Kyd much. I'm not sure why this is. It seems to be wrapped in fierce motherly protection, denial wrapped in clutching hope, bottomless feelings of helplessness that don't like to be poked, the brain-crunching juxtaposition of feeling no empathy for Roi and wanting desperately for Kyd to not hurt others the way Roi has, and god knows what else.
In fact, I find I can't really talk much more about him even now when I set out to do that.
Neurofeedback is saving my life, keeping me sane amidst what would bring the best of us to our knees. I'll just say that. And ask that whatever form of prayer or good energy you practice, if you could send some toward this corner of the world it would be much appreciated.
I'm in the process of changing my blog over to my new spot and this just caught my eye...I'm so sorry about all that is going on with you and kyd. I wish you were able to talk more about it (not from nosiness but from the journaling aspect).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you have neurofeedback to use as a tool. Much love and hugs.
Side note - I couldn't find you last night when I was trying to subscribe - once I log off of this account and log onto the other, I'll follow you again. So, glad you wrote this!!! You should see all the Briar Patch blogs that are out there =)

Here's the "real" me now....this link...
DeleteDidn't know who you were at first, lol. Figured it out. And who knew there were so many Briar Patch blogs. Hm.
DeleteHope you're hanging in there.
Prayers and good energy coming your way.
ReplyDeleteJust seeing this comment now. I've not been tending this blog very well since the move. Thank you for your kind words.
DeleteJust wanted to check up on you and see how you were doing and let you know I am thinking of you....
ReplyDeleteWow...I am sorry that you have so many worries, especially with your son. My kids are small and haven't crossed the threshold into making any catastrophic life changing decisions yet. It scares me so much, especially with what their father has done. I hope it works out for you and that you can find some peace. You will be in my thoughts and prayers
ReplyDeleteThanks darlin.
