Chilli And Chilli - Having A Bad Day

Status
Not open for further replies.
Some days I just want to just give up. You know, even now with everything going ok in my life I still lay there in the morning and justify why I want to be here.
I really am over waking up occasionally in a sweat, having the odd really f*cked up scary dream, being on a knife edge ready to tear the throat out of the first person that pisses me off.

Right now I feel like total shit, and I think I will hide today. From the public that is.

I love Margaret, I love my boy, I love my other kids and my grandson, but nothing can make me feel much better today I think.

Its just one of those 'I am so over it days'.
 
Feelin pretty low at moment, after losing my mate,so i think i might have beer or two. Another bloody funeral , jeez what next...........:mad:
 
Lost one good mate this week & just about to lose another tonight, whats goin on? I really don't get it? This is really starting to PISS ME RIGHT OFF...........
 
Matt, hang in there man. I just spill my guts out on another post and don't have the energy. But I will be back to listen and support.
 
I have chosen my mood as angry where there should be one for white hot furious. Yesterday Margaret had a bad day, her mother had a fall (she is ok), my wound leaked (it was just old blood finding a way out), someone U turned without indicating and smashed the front of her car (their fault), and then there is the arguing between me and my boy that has been happening since his suspension.
Last night I was explaining to Christian and her daughter that Margaret had, had a bad day and that I wanted them to do dishes. Anyway, she ended up saying the when we 'f*cked Off' she would do them. So naturally I burred up, I tried not too, but there has been a heap on my plate. I told her she had no right speaking to my son like that and that she should treat people with respect.

This morning I received a message from her via Facebook telling me to get control of my son and that he was not doing the right things. How dare she. She is 17, does not even work a 30 hour week yet, does not do stuff all about the house and is lecturing me on how to raise my son. Well I was furious.
I am feeling like packing up and taking Christian and leaving. I am not going to get between a mother and her daughter and Margaret does not need the stress. Its not fair on her. In the past Margaret has just turned a blind eye. Maybe they are better off that way. At least they were existing.
Now that I am in the house, I am noticing all the shit that is wrong. The 17 year old verbally abuses her mother, her sister and does not even acknowledge her brother from another relationship. And now she is starting on Chris my boy.
What am I to do.

Any advice. I don't want to get in the road of her family, yet I love Margaret.
 
Jimmy,

Please forgive the tone below but you've hit a nerve...and I respect you too much to just placate you. I wish I could say this to my Veteran because I believe his teenagers are one of the main reasons he is not here right now.

So here goes...

This is crap and Margaret deserves better than you just wanting to leave.

Do not, under any circumstances, take this out on Margaret. You leaving would not diminish her stress. It would just make her feel unloved and lost. This is what the harpies on this site have to deal with on a daily basis. You read our posts. You know what it does to us. Do any of us sound like we are better off because our Veteran leaves? WE ARE NOT! Margaret loves you. Don't even think about doing that to her.

This is normal teenage crap that all parents have to deal with and it is not fair to just leave because of it. Did you ever think that maybe they would LOVE for this to sabatoge your relationship? They win! Woohoo. Yet another instance of teenagers ruining their parents' lovelives. So Christian is being a teenage bitch and your son is fighting to be alpha male. So what. Deal with it. Or don't deal with it and just ignore it. They put up with your shit, so now it is your turn. They won't be teenagers forever and will eventually be out of the house.

You work through it together ... WITH Margaret. You and Margaret are a TEAM. You work this out together. And if you can't work it out, then you get through it. TOGETHER. Be STRONG together. Build your future TOGETHER by getting through the tough times now.

But you don't just leave.

Great love to you Jimmy, but leaving is a crap response.
