So update: the water is back on for the moment. Trust in the Lord. Now the kids father just has to come up with $300 by Friday. Supposedly some of his friends are going to loan him the money. We will see.
The kids father is actually working at this new Job. And he came home today saying he got a promotion??? to Assistant Manager. Interesting.... Remember I don't trust anything he says.... We will see...
So I've just about hit rock bottom. I missed my appointment with my Therapist today just because I couldn't get dressed. The nightmares continue and today I woke up feeling anxious, jittery, and paranoid. The paranoia is new and I don't like it!!! I just curled in a ball on the couch. I hope this isn't an everyday thing...
We will see...
But then I lucked out and got a random phone call from Mr. Perfect who I haven't talked to on the phone since before Christmas. His voice is so calming like a warm hug. It chased all the monsters away for a while. We had a nice conversation I forgot how much I love his laugh. Unfortunately, I can't talk to him often because I have very limited minutes. But he said he is trying to get his other phone turned back on so he can send it to me. It will have unlimited everything. So we can talk all the time and video chat. Plus he talked about other things he is working on but again my trust issues... Sooo We will see....
I called an attorney regarding filing for Disability and their response was to call them after I've been seeing a psychiatrist for three months. Mind you my first appointment isn't until March. Typical..... So I don't know where we will go with that. But still no income....
I have to go to DHS and apply for a hardship I guess but I'll be honest I have realized I have a deep fear of anyone that can say no or give me bad news or be disappointed in me or take away any of my hope .... (is there any left?) I get extreme anxiety about talking to anyone or dealing with anything even making phone calls. I like the safety of my couch and my blanket and my bear. But even that is being threatened. Where can I find a safe place????
Then my big brother send me a msg he is trying to kill himself AGAIN. I told him I love him. I let him know he's not alone. And tried to encourage him, but I don't have anything left to give. I hope that he doesn't seriously hurt himself but there is no more I can do. He just kept telling me that he is tired and is ready to go.... WHO ISN'T TIRED??? I understand his pain and trust me I get it. I just hope there is someone else who can stop him.
Oh and I wasn't even going to mention this but I said I was going to be brutally honest. The kids father came home from work yesterday and was sweet enough to bring me a sandwich. So I eat the sandwich then he turns to me with a big smile on his face and says so what do I get in return for the sandwich? Are you kidding me???? I know he thought he was being cute but I wanted to take his head off. I don't think I have ever been so disrespected in my whole life. Oh wait except the time 20 yrs ago when my friends Boyfriend told me if I needed a ride home he needed a Blow Job. He also just so happened to be my Boyfriends best friend at the time. I punched him in the mouth.
But honestly if I'm not dealing with enough crap that made me feel like shit. I don't know I'm just scared of everything. And My mind wont give me any peace.
And then some how he came home with weed today... SMH!
Omg Now I have to check the card to see if he got the pin number again WTF!

How deep does the Rabbit hole go?
Its really either laugh or cry. I did say I couldn't take any more right..... I guess it's a good thing I started taking my meds again lol. Because even with the meds the Anxiety Has my chest hurting....
Well, tonight I got a knock on the door at about 9pm. It was my landlord asking for money apparently the water is going to be shut off AGAIN. If it happens the city will condemn the property and we will have to leave. The only problem is we have nowhere to go.... and no money.... I just gave him the last of what I had to pay his mortgage to stop foreclosure. Is this a nightmare??? can someone please wake me up!!!
Ok, guess its a good time for a back story. How far should we go back.... Screw it I don't see myself getting any sleep anyway so let's go back to.... 1999
So My oldest son was a year old and my mother had a stroke she ended up having to get her arteries stinted. The same operation that killed my father in 89. She got scared and wanted to move 300 miles away to be near her family (the one that never gave a shit) anyway long story short I lost my job to move her and I took over the house. In 6 months time they convinced her to sell the house out from under us. Essentially leaving myself, her only child, and my 1 yr old son, her only grandchild, on the street. We spent 6 months bouncing from place to place, sleeping in motels when we could, and in the car when we couldn't. My greatest fear was losing my son to the state. Mind you I was pregnant with my youngest at this time.
That helplessness, that hopelessness, is the scariest thing you can imagine. Having no one to turn to. Still, to this day my greatest fear is going through that again. Thank God the baby was young enough he doesn't remember. It's horrible the Anxiety it causes I can't sleep, I can't eat, I become afraid of everything I just want to hide under my blanket and hope it goes away. It makes my chest hurt, makes me feel nauseous and jittery. My mind races non-stop. My nerves are on edge.
Imagine the worst feeling possible and times it by 10 and u might get close.
Anyway sorry like I said mind racing so I hope this is somewhat coherent. So we ended up moving here so my mom could help us get off the street. At that time the kid's dad worked 3 jobs to save up enough to get us off the street. Unfortunately, as soon as we got an apartment the brakes went in the car and his main job was 45 minutes away. The other job transferred him but that didn't last either (truly not his fault that time) In the meantime I had the baby so. We had the Newborn and a 2 yr. old the landlord started acting crazy shutting the heat off in the middle of the winter. I was suffering from postpartum depression I would just sit in the middle of the floor and cry. We got a month behind in our rent and he tried to repo our furniture when I refused to give it to him they called DCYF and filed a bogus report of abuse and neglect. Finally, I got a job and the agency helped us get caught up with our rent but he refused to sign the forms They gave it to me anyway because I worked there. The day after the check came he served us with eviction papers. He said that he needed the apartment for his family. We were lucky enough to find a place right away but then as soon as I gave him the key he refused to give us our security deposit so I was flat broke for the next two weeks and I didn't even have pampers. I really could have killed that guy. He ended up calling the cops who were on our side but there was nothing they could do.
The next landlord ended up being a slum lord and we were in that house 10 years we went through 3 landlords and each one was worse than the one before. That's when I went through all the craziness at my Job and without all the details I became Executive Director and the account was 100,000 in the hole with 15 staff and no way to pay them. So I busted my ass and brought it back but the financial stress at work on top of the financial stress at home was to much my depression spiraled out of control and my doctor put me out on TDI. Consequentially they fired me for not coming to work when they weren't paying me anyway. Trying to juggle everything I got behind. Except for the rent. But would you believe the landlord wasn't paying the mortgage anyway and the bank foreclosed on the house. Even after the bank sent us a letter he still showed up to collect the rent. SMH! Again we had to move. This time the bank was paying us to move. We contemplated moving home but because of our God Daughter we decided to stay.
Which brings us to this apartment. The place was small but we were running out of time. It was convenient. everything was fine the first two years we were here but I was Unemployed and that doesn't last forever. I was looking for work but it's not easy as everyone knows. We got in a financial bind and I got a little behind because I was only paying partial rent. But I straightened it out when I started working. That Job lasted a little over a year. I missed a lot of work because I was having Health issues. I ended up getting laid off right before Christmas. Then went in for surgery and come to find out it was cancer. I've been a mess ever since. For a long time every day, I thought about my Grandma, my uncle, my aunt that all died from cancer and my best friend was fighting it too. They said I was fine it was a small tumor and I wouldn't need follow up but that scares me even more because the never did any test to see if it was anywhere else. Mentally I've just been on a downhill slide. And it has been one thing after another ever since. I was on top of the rent until September a few late payments but it was paid. Then the money started to run out I emptied my 401k. Then the gas leak and broken oven in August The water got shut off in August for 3 days. We have been dealing with mice since we moved in. It's one excuse after another why it's not being taken care of. Every month its the water, but nothing about fixing my stove or getting rid of the mice that have destroyed 3 living room sets and everything else you can think of. Mind you my oldest son has asthma. So you can imagine that the largest number of his attacks are right here at home. As I lay here listening to the mice try to steal the trash can in the kitchen.
Oh and to add insult to injury lol after he left tonight the toilet almost overflowed on me. AHHHHHHHH! There is definitely some irony in that.
I feel like the whole world is crushing me. I'm scared and I don't feel safe I never know what is going to happen next. I'm worried about my kids. They have their grades to worry about they shouldn't have to stress over this stuff. Would u believe I just had a nightmare about this crap last night.... I hope the rest of it doesn't come true... I'm kinda feeling like Job.

Lost
So I am taking my meds again. I call them my happy pills because the help me to not give a crap lol. I went to see my therapist today which was great I always feel a little better when I leave her office. I think its because how I feel makes sense to her. Which is ironic because it doesn't make sense to me most of the time. Probably because I've been told a million times I need to suck it up everyone has problems. N my inability to do anything is blamed on me being lazy. So much so that I think it to some times.
So its been a really rough few days my friend went in for her surgery today it was 6 hours but they think they got all the cancer they took out 41 nodules (I knew it was worse then she was letting on) but she is doing well and everyone is praying for her. So my heart is a little lighter tonight.
My other friend is still in ICU and they may have to innovate her because her co2 levels aren't getting any better.
N my Best friend has been MIA all week so I'm a little worried
It doesn't help that It is now my mothers Birthday she has been gone 8 years. I have been trying not to think about it. I don't know why this year all my losses have been bothering me so much usually death doesn't make me emotional.
And then to put the icing on the cake one of my fb friends randomly posted a pic of my Best Friend that drowned two days before my birthday in 1990 (less that a year after I lost my dad) They were the 2 most amazing men I've ever known. so it brought up a lot of old loss that I've never really dealt with. Some how I think that those losses have a lot to do with my issues with men. (back story for another time)
I'm thinking that because I'm feeling so alone all the losses and people that I care about being sick is taking its toll on me.
I'm really at the point I cant take anymore. I'm feeling Useless and Helpless and Hopeless. And I don't know what to do
But on a side note..... Mr. Perfect just brought me back the snow globe and covered everything with glitter! Its so great I'm easily distracted by sparkly things. I might get a good night sleep after all.

Snow Days
So here we are another Hump day. I'm still on the couch. With no motivation wondering when the tides will turn. I know sitting on this couch wont change anything but I cant get up. I know there are things I should be doing but can't make myself do them. Its a good thing I have an appointment tomorrow.
Its kinda like drowning all the chaos and fear makes it hard to know which way is up. I got a random text from the Best Friend yesterday (I think??) just a thank you. I was confused for a while until I realized he was talking about the Random msgs that I was sending him all weekend to let him know he wasn't alone and that I love him. I was on suicide watch again over the weekend but he wasn't responding. I actually called him on Friday to check on him and he picked up but didn't want to talk which was fine, He had promised me to stay safe and that was enough. To be honest I'm not sure that I would have been much help if he had needed more.
Oddly enough I understand his thoughts and feelings.
My problem is I am always thinking about all the bs and problems and it weighs me down like a physical weight so that I can't function. Nothing makes me happy because my mind is trained to expect the worst so the crash and burn isn't so bad.... My mind races so I can't focus, can't sleep, and I'm completely indecisive.
Oh I'm angry at everybody and everything and some times i don't even know why. N i just want to choke the shit out of them or just wish I wouldn't wake up so I don't have to deal with it any more.....
I'm sliding down that slope really fast. Feeling like no one really gives a shit about me.... blah blah.
Oh and nightmares... yup check and then I wake up with that crazy feeling and I cant shake it.
These are all the same things he is dealing with. Only difference is some times his mind shuts off and he cant remember anything. I'm sure its a natural defense. N it actually sounds better then not being able to clear your head of all the bs. I guess its scary for him. I have my faith and my kids that keep me from acting on the thoughts unfortunately he has neither.
And again the boys father is lying to me about random stuff he is going out to get high with his friend..... and he tells me he is going to meet up with one friend when its really another...??? I just don't freaking get it Why?? Especially when I just asked u to leave for lying to me....

Follow your intuition
Well let me start by saying I always believe the worst for a REASON. So u may have read my previous post regarding my sons father..... SMH! I'm not sure when I will learn to go with my gut.
I came across some proof today that the Boys Dad has not been working for some time. Suprize Suprize! I'm not sure how long its been but I suspect its been since Christmas. He has actually been getting dressed three days a week in his uniform and going God knows where. He has been lying to everyone. Crash n burn!!! That means there is no income coming in at all. Sick or not I'm going to have to go find a job..... I can do this anymore 18 years of lies. To many chances..... Then there is a bunch of other shit that I don't even care about. The fact that I found out where he was Friday when he didn't come home. He was at a friends house that he is not suppose to be with because of issues from the past. And it just so happens that two of the girls he has been trying to get with were there. I may play dumb but I'm not a fool. He is talking to half a dozen girls and trying to convince me that we should work things out. Ummm sorry I checked out emotionally a long time ago. He has dug this hole for himself, I'm running out of excuses. (I make excuses for him all the time)
So when he got home today I tried to give him a chance to come clean and he refused to even talk about it so I told him he needs to leave. Of course he just ignores me. Then after time to think up a story he tries to feed me a line of bullshit. Supposedly he had a job interview today and starts a new job on Thursday..... The funny shit is he had a job interview a week ago that he blew off. When the hell are you going to grow up and be responsible?? I give up. I want him gone he has had enough time...
So lets flash back to the summer time The end of July I caught him trying to hook up with some local girls on FB and then he pulled the disappearing act and was out all night same place same girls. I really wanted to put all his shit outside but I let it slide because we had family coming to visit that we hadn't seen in a long time. Oh n FYI he is very predictable so I figured that he would at the last minute right before they left say he was going with them to visit his mom. Mind you my Godson had come to spend a couple weeks with us. I called him on his bs before they got here just so he knew I was aware.
Side note we had been in Marriage counseling for about 3 months and were suppose to be working on things. I committed to it even though I knew it wasn't going to go anywhere. Because the only reason that he even agreed to it was because he knew Mr. Perfect was back in the picture and I chose Mr. Perfect over him once before. (back story for another time)
So the day they were planning to leave about an hour before they were scheduled to go he dropped it on me that he was going with them. So I nicely told him to take his things with him. When he didn't get it I told him flat out that he had proved that he didn't care about working on our relationship. That even with the crap he pulled he knew we needed to talk about it but was just selfishly going to do whatever he wanted so I didn't want him to come back. He made it to easy.
We've been through this so many times he of course didn't believe me. So he only took a couple outfits. But I meant it. I was done. I didn't talk to him for days then he contacted me trying to lay some crap on me that he shouldn't have gone his family was treating him like crap that he realized his only family was here blah blah. I stayed strong and told him he made his choice. Mind you he left knowing that he was suppose to start a class the first week of August.
At the same time I had sent word to Mr. Perfect that he was gone and I wanted to know where he stood and if he was serious about wanting to be with me.... he did not respond for some time then I got notice in my news feed that he had added to his fb page that he was in a relationship with the "girlfriend". So I took that as my answer and I let him know that I wished him the best and that I hoped we could at least remain friends. That got his attention and he threw a bitch fit said he didn't do it that she hacked his page blah blah. I told him that I needed to take some time to work on me. And I cut him off, I refuse to play #2 been down that road before. (more back story)
The kids father begged me to let him come back just so he could start this class that would help him get on his feet and he would find some place to stay. I finally agreed but that lead to more arguments and he finally agreed to just come get his things. But then someone in his family turned him in he had 13 year old warrants for a Traffic Violation in one state and a body attachment for back child support in the other. He got picked up an the traffic violation and if they had extradited him they would have put him under the jail. I thought about how that would effect my boys and I panicked. I also have this crazy protection thing with him that I don't understand. I guess I feel bad for him because of all the crap he has been through. But he also knows this and uses it.
During this time Mr. Perfect continued to bug out but I stayed my distance. He kept saying I know your going to let him come back, please don't do that.... He was ringing the phone off the hook but I didn't answer it because I was feeling betrayed.
So when the kids father was released OR His cousin rushed him home. When he got back he threw the whole pity party that I was his only family he had no where to go.... so I again agreed to let him stay here on a day to day bases. Then he started his class and was committed. It was kind of shocking.
Mr. Perfect refused to talk to me once he found out I let him back in the house. Even after I explained the situation. That there was no relationship involved. So the next couple months were interesting every conversation we had was an argument.
And the kids dad was trying so hard it made me want to vomit. There were times when I would get a spark of hope that he was really changing but then he would do something to remind me why I didn't want to be with him anymore.
I was finally able to convince Mr. Perfect that things were different now and until recently things were going great. The whole no time for me thing. I finally sent him a message last night that the constant begging for his attention was making me feel horrible and that for my own sanity I was going to stop stalking him. (by the way he loves that I stalk him smh) At first he assumed that I was planning on trying to work things out with this guy. But I explained to him that his lack of attentiveness was leaving me feeling lonely. He apologized and promised to be more available.
that brings us back to the present.... Now I have to figure out where to go from here. I know he is just going to ignore me I'm not sure how I'm going to get him to leave but I cant let him stay or he will always think its ok to lie to me and I cant live like that.
So in addition to this and all the other chaos I told you about the last few days. I am in excruciating pain. Its a little scary with what everyone else is dealing with but I believe it is kidney stones again... Wonderful right just what I need on top of everything else. I'm exhausted and I cant sleep because I cant get comfortable.... If it doesn't get better soon I'm going to end up in the hospital with everyone else....
I came across some proof today that the Boys Dad has not been working for some time. Suprize Suprize! I'm not sure how long its been but I suspect its been since Christmas. He has actually been getting dressed three days a week in his uniform and going God knows where. He has been lying to everyone. Crash n burn!!! That means there is no income coming in at all. Sick or not I'm going to have to go find a job..... I can do this anymore 18 years of lies. To many chances..... Then there is a bunch of other shit that I don't even care about. The fact that I found out where he was Friday when he didn't come home. He was at a friends house that he is not suppose to be with because of issues from the past. And it just so happens that two of the girls he has been trying to get with were there. I may play dumb but I'm not a fool. He is talking to half a dozen girls and trying to convince me that we should work things out. Ummm sorry I checked out emotionally a long time ago. He has dug this hole for himself, I'm running out of excuses. (I make excuses for him all the time)
So when he got home today I tried to give him a chance to come clean and he refused to even talk about it so I told him he needs to leave. Of course he just ignores me. Then after time to think up a story he tries to feed me a line of bullshit. Supposedly he had a job interview today and starts a new job on Thursday..... The funny shit is he had a job interview a week ago that he blew off. When the hell are you going to grow up and be responsible?? I give up. I want him gone he has had enough time...
So lets flash back to the summer time The end of July I caught him trying to hook up with some local girls on FB and then he pulled the disappearing act and was out all night same place same girls. I really wanted to put all his shit outside but I let it slide because we had family coming to visit that we hadn't seen in a long time. Oh n FYI he is very predictable so I figured that he would at the last minute right before they left say he was going with them to visit his mom. Mind you my Godson had come to spend a couple weeks with us. I called him on his bs before they got here just so he knew I was aware.
Side note we had been in Marriage counseling for about 3 months and were suppose to be working on things. I committed to it even though I knew it wasn't going to go anywhere. Because the only reason that he even agreed to it was because he knew Mr. Perfect was back in the picture and I chose Mr. Perfect over him once before. (back story for another time)
So the day they were planning to leave about an hour before they were scheduled to go he dropped it on me that he was going with them. So I nicely told him to take his things with him. When he didn't get it I told him flat out that he had proved that he didn't care about working on our relationship. That even with the crap he pulled he knew we needed to talk about it but was just selfishly going to do whatever he wanted so I didn't want him to come back. He made it to easy.
We've been through this so many times he of course didn't believe me. So he only took a couple outfits. But I meant it. I was done. I didn't talk to him for days then he contacted me trying to lay some crap on me that he shouldn't have gone his family was treating him like crap that he realized his only family was here blah blah. I stayed strong and told him he made his choice. Mind you he left knowing that he was suppose to start a class the first week of August.
At the same time I had sent word to Mr. Perfect that he was gone and I wanted to know where he stood and if he was serious about wanting to be with me.... he did not respond for some time then I got notice in my news feed that he had added to his fb page that he was in a relationship with the "girlfriend". So I took that as my answer and I let him know that I wished him the best and that I hoped we could at least remain friends. That got his attention and he threw a bitch fit said he didn't do it that she hacked his page blah blah. I told him that I needed to take some time to work on me. And I cut him off, I refuse to play #2 been down that road before. (more back story)
The kids father begged me to let him come back just so he could start this class that would help him get on his feet and he would find some place to stay. I finally agreed but that lead to more arguments and he finally agreed to just come get his things. But then someone in his family turned him in he had 13 year old warrants for a Traffic Violation in one state and a body attachment for back child support in the other. He got picked up an the traffic violation and if they had extradited him they would have put him under the jail. I thought about how that would effect my boys and I panicked.

Welcome to Sunday
It is the start of a brand new week.
I had a bad dream and I woke up feeling angry at the world, because I feel alone, I'm mad at my "friends" for not being there. I'm mad at my mom for leaving me alone in the world. I'm mad at my family for not wanting to be a part of my life and not being there for my children. I'm mad at my children's father for not being the man I need him to be. I'm mad at Mr. Perfect for not being here. I am mad at myself for needing others and feeling like its some how my fault that I'm not good enough or worthy. I am mad at myself for feeling that I only reach out to people when I need something. I'm mad that my life is not what I want it to be and I don't have the courage to make it happen.
Then a childhood friend that I haven't seen in years tells me she wishes I was closer because she misses her friend. She has no idea what that meant to me.
I have to consider how blessed I am. So many of the people around me are so much worse off then I am. Dealing with addiction, serious health issues, don't have their children in there lives, or are homeless. I may not be where I want to be but I am blessed right where I am.
So on that note I'm kicking myself in the butt so I can get this crib done!!!

All hell has broken loose
So I've been feeling really Crappy the last few days (years) and I haven't gotten anything done. I have not even finished cleaning the crib. Not to mention that the house is a hot freaking mess! But the world around me is in utter chaos.
A family friend kidnapped her son and took off across the country. Resulting in a nation wide Amber Alert. I get why she did it and any real mom would have done the same thing. Just sad that now she is in jail and there is no one to protect her son from his father.
My best friend/big brother has been talking crazy all week. He wants to kill himself..... again.
My God daughters mother, my dear friend, is going in for double lung surgery this week..... And she broke her "broken leg" that she had bone cancer in an they removed the whole thigh bone. and broke 3 of the screws to the rod holding it together....
I had my Nephew all day because his mom is in ICU in critical condition. She has blood clots in her lungs, and they are filling with fluid. All this out of the blue last night she couldn't breath. Then I find out that she was at the hospital by herself. It makes me want to put my foot in peoples asses and make them act right. How is your wife in ICU and your ass is home sleeping??? Who does that???
Mr. Perfect has not had time for me and I'm starting to feel some kinda way about it...... Why do I always have to be the stalker????
The kids dad has been bullshitting me about work all week. Then he "goes to work" last night and doesn't even come home.... Not that I give a shit I'm just tired of feeling like everyone lies to me about everything. I don't trust anyone and its not ok. Today he was suppose to work 4 to 10:30 went in late and came home at 8:30??? I care only because he is the one responsible for providing for our household right now and it isn't happening.... Then has the balls to come in and try to be all loving and caring.... Do I look stupid?? That ship sailed a long time ago!!!
Why is it you try to give people the chance to prove they are reliable and you get your hopes up just to crash and burn???? Its so much easier to expect the worst in all things at least you don't end up feeling like a dumb ass. I really just want to matter to someone. To be the center of their world. To come first, is that to much to ask???
I'm also so over arguing with my kids all the time. If their father tells them to do something they jump. I get attitude and an argument and half the time the 15 year old does what ever he wants anyway...
It sucks that I care about all these people and it feels like none of them care about me.... I just get aggravated at myself for caring at all. Then it pisses me off how everyone is dealing with this stuff. I really just don't understand people!!!
You know what makes all of this worse is I have no one to talk to about any of it except my Therapist who unfortunately I don't see for two weeks :P
There were a couple of bright spots I did get a call back about the job she invited me to apply for the position. And my youngest son won first place at his robotics competition the only middle school against all high schools. Wish I could be happy about them....

Dont know how I feel.
So I missed yesterday. It was pretty so so. I got up pretty late because I was up most of the night. I got a lead on a job but as I started to feel excited I started to think you are just setting your self up for another crash n burn. Maybe I should explain. I have ten plus years of experience in human services, I do not have a degree and am not bilingual. in the last 5 months I have been on tons of interviews, second interviews, even third interviews and the result has always been the same. Im still unemployed. My experience is amazing, My references could not be better, My interview presentation is on point I spent 4 years teaching others how to be the person that gets the job........ My analysis on it is that Im over qualified for the jobs that dont require a degree and the jobs I am qualified for expect a Masters Degree. I've even been to a few interviews that I knew the people interviewing were afraid I'd take their job. Its extremely aggravating and has intensified my depression.
Of course that is only one piece to the puzzle. So a friend who is dealing with the same issues looking for work called and we got together she feels herself sliding down the same slippery slope Im on emotionally and thinks we need to do something to pull ourselves out of the fog. I agree but Dont really have the motivation to, but I forced myself to do something to help someone else anyway, Helping others is what Im good at. So we went though all her Grand daughters thing to see what we could put together for a friend who just had a baby and wasnt prepared. We found a lot of stuff and Im working on cleaning it up. It helped me feel better for a little while until I got home and asked my kids father to bring in the big stuff for me. I got a ton of attitude and "they probably have this and that blah blah" It really hurt my feelings because its his friend, his Godson, I am trying to do something nice for. This is an example of the Crash and Burn.
Not to mention have you ever felt like everything you do is taken for granted, or not good enough? Yeah well welcome to my life.....

Mr. Perfect
This is my response to some girl randomly emailing me then Mr. Perfect getting mad because I asked him a question that he took as an accusation.
Ok let me explain something to u then the ball is in your court. See you are my knight in shining armor..... my prince charming.... my happily ever after. Ive loved u sooo much for so long that In my mind I have created this entire fairy tale of what my life would be if you had married me instead of Angela. Kat calls it my snow globe ;) because no matter how dark and depressing reality is in the place in my mind where you've lived things are perfect in the place in my heart where u live no matter how sad I am is warm and happy...
OMG I hope this doesnt sound to crazy...
N in this "snow globe fairy tale" you are completely perfect. We are completely perfect. Our life together is perfect. Now that Ive found u and you love me as much as I love you that fairy tale is coming true... With the reality that neither of us is perfect which is ok because we are human... With the reality that we are really far apart which is super hard. With the reality that our relationship isnt perfect- we have disagreements and even get mad or upset. (I had completely forgotten our anger issues bumping heads lol) but thats ok too because I still love you maybe even more because u love me and except me with all my imperfections.
But there are times when the line between the snow globe and reality is fuzzy because you make me so happy. Last night was one of those times. The question was just a realty check. In my head you are mine and only mine without outside interference. In reality my mind Is programmed to assume the negative in everything. Its kinda like and angel and a devil sitting on your shoulder. The devil saying u big dummy he wont claim u, he wont let u claim him, shining a flash light n all the little questions (which are just my insecurities), Your just living in that stupid snow globe why would he love u? Why would he want to be with you?..... Then the Angel says He love's you, He makes you smile, He brings you Joy, and you do the same for him. You are soul mates. Things may not be perfect yet but they will be.....
And as for trust remember Im trying to relearn that lol because my mind has been trained to assume everything people say is bs. I trust you because I want to, because I choose to. Not because its the natural response. Thats why I ask for honesty. N a difficult truth is much better than bs because it can be worked through. I really just want to be able to not doubt or question anything u say. N dont go all mad ass on me Im not saying you lied to me about anything Im just giving u a glimps into my head.
I also need u to know that you can be 100% honest with me even if it might hurt. Its not going to change how I feel about you. I have made a conscience decision that anything that you do that I might not like while Im 300 mile away has nothing to do with your love for me. Now dont get it twisted that is not a green light to screw someone..... I will most likely throw a bitch fit if u do! But only out of fear that someone will steal ur heart. What Im saying is I will ride through all the bs with u just dont bs me. I Love you unconditionally and I want u to feel comfortable talking to me about all the bs. I promise to not be judgmental.
N from this point forward I hope that I can ask questions if and when I have them without you getting angry and defensive like its an accusation. Some times I just need affirmation, clarification, or confirmation.
Some how I feel like most of this is the same for you, well minus the snow globe lol.

Welcome to Munday
So everybody hates Monday right.... well I slept in till noon cuz I didn't go to sleep until 5:30. Which these days is pretty usual. When I got up I got a lead on a job but I am waiting to hear back on the specifics. its a Job I've applied for in the past that was filled but the girl apparently quit or got fired. Slight feelings of hopefulness as My #1 reference use to be the President of the organization and is friends with the current President. Cant help but think I'm setting myself up for another crash and burn.... Been talking to a friend who is also unemployed and facing losing her house. She wants to do something to lift her depression and wants me to join her. She wants to try meditation..... I spent most of the evening with her.
So another interesting event today.... I got a msg on fb from some girl asking if I was i a relationship with Mr. Perfect because he asked her out and if I was then she would say no..... So I let him know and of course He blamed it on his ex trying to start trouble..... He is probably full of shit but I want to believe him. It doesn't make any sense though. I've been really aggravated about him not getting back to me in a timely manner and he hasn't been bugging me to video chat like he use to...... I'm probably being a dumb ass. But does it even matter? He is 300 miles away and the fairy tale makes me feel better anyway.
Then there is the Baby Daddy.... I have been asking him to clean up his side of our bedroom Since friday and he has been sitting in front of the TV watching Football all weekend or hanging with his friends getting High and playing with the beats.... He was an aspiring MC until he woke up and realized that there are no 40 year old artists breaking into the industry. I guess we are traveling back down this road... but that isn't what has me twisted today. He was suppose to have an interview today that he rescheduled from friday. Well he rescheduled it again.... he got dressed said he was going to the City to find out about about the Job lead and to cash his check mind you this was at 1:00 and he just got home at 11:00 and suprize he didn't go cash his check (he probably cashed it friday and spent it on weed all weekend) He told me one story then when I said something regarding what he said the story changed and it was my fault because I never listen.
I swear these men think I'm stupid.... They can tell all the lies they want but I see right through them.
So most of the day I've been bored and aggravated wishing people would just be honest with me and struggling to decide if the thinking that everyone is full of shit is because they are or because That is what I've been trained to think.... I'm a very selfish person and I am needy and want to be the center of everyone's life. Or at least want to be the center of someones life.... Definitely feeling the need to feel special.

So I guess the best place to begin is right now and then we will flash back to how we got here at another time. I will let you know before we even get started this is to help me deal with my negative thoughts and feelings, my mental, emotional, and physical pain and depression. I intend to be brutally honest for my own benefit, but I'm sure at times it will not be absolute Truth because It may be tainted by my feelings and opinions.
So I am a 37 year old mother of 2 teenage boys, I have been with their father for about 18 years. I am a recent cancer survivor. I have been unemployed for 2 years.... and actually 4 of the last 5 years. I have been in the human service field since 2000. I am currently in Therapy for my Anxiety and Severe Recurrent Depression with Homicidal and Suicidal Idealization.
My current situation in order of importance in my mind......
I am cancer free.
Other then allergies and asthma my children are physically healthy.
We currently have a warm home and plenty of food.
I am currently unemployed receiving very little income that is scheduled to end the end of the month. I have no savings or resources as they have run out. I have no support system to speak of. As of this moment I am 4 months behind in rent, two of the months from the last time I was unemployed. 6 months behind on all of my utilities and facing shut-off.
I have not had car insurance in over a year. My car tax is past due. My inspection is up the end of next month. The car needs over $1200 in repairs.
We r running out of clean clothes. I currently have about $100 worth of laundry to do.
Our apartment is over run with mice. They are destroying everything.
We have not had a working oven since August. Trying to keep the family fed with two small burners and a microwave.
The house is cluttered and frankly disgusting from the mice. We attempt to keep it clean but it is way to small for us with no real storage. And we cant put things where they belong because the mice will get into it.... There are holes in the walls and ceilings from the mice. And just yesterday I caught them building a nest in my underwear drawer..... needless to say they are now shredding our clothes for nesting material.....
My relationship has been a nightmare as long as I can remember. I am currently talking to my ex. (more details later) Until August my children's father spend the majority of his time smoking weed and playing video games. I have been the sole provider. He suffers from multiple mental health issues that until a few months ago he refused to acknowledge. He steals money from me. He is a compulsive lier. He has been very mentally abusive to myself and the boys. I told him about finding my ex in March and asked him to leave in July after a failed attempt at marriage counseling. He was gone for 2 weeks and begged to come home to attend a culinary class that would help him get a job. It has been one day at a time since then my heart is else where. He has graduated and is working very part time. And looking for a second job but is still not bringing any money into the house, he is still smoking pot.
Other things that I am dealing with:
My 6 yr old God Daughters Mother, my dear friend is 27 years old and struggling with cancer for the second time. About to undergo double lung surgery in a couple weeks. She has 4 children my God daughter is the oldest.
My best friend of 24 years who is more like my big brother has always struggled with mental health issues he has tried to kill himself more times then I even know. He is currently off his meds and homeless. He is 300 miles away so there is nothing I can really do. I spent all of last week worrying that he was going to freeze to death. I asked friends who are in closer range to help him and they gave one lame excuse after another. Which has caused me to feel some kind of way about them. All these years I've been wanting to get home to my "real family" and I find out that it was an illusion that I created.
Most of my blood relatives live with in 15 minutes of my house and since my mother died in 2005 have not bothered to want to be in my life. But that's not what bothers me that fact that they don't bother with my kids bothers me more. There fathers family doesn't acknowledge them either.
Than to top it off the love of my life, my Mr. Perfect, My Prince Charming is also 300 miles away. He is the only guy I ever dated that had his shit together. No drugs, hard worker, kind, and caring. He wants to be here, He wants to take care of me and my boys.....but we've had our fights too over the last year because he is pissed that I am still living with my kids father. And the situation I've been in makes it difficult to trust men.......
I guess that is enough for now......
