just me here
Last November i would have told you the thing I was proudest of in my life was my family. Last night I had a row with my wife over all of the commotion with my son, she tells me about other 'problems' with other children, and adds to the list of things I have supposedly said or done to every member of the family. Today I called my oldest daughter, she is smart, this one. I asked her if I had really said those things that she had supposedly told my wife all about and she was as baffled as I was on all points excepting one in wich my sons girlfriend was convinced I had said something rude to my her (my daughter) and asked her if I was always like that. She explained what I had said, how it wasn't rude and no I wasn't like that. It happened in October. My wife pulled it out last night, said her source was my daughter herself. We think girlfriend told son, son blew it up, my wife let it fester, after awhile I just want to scream.
In fact, thats what I am going to go do. 65 watts of pure vintage fender tube energy through 4 speakers driven by a telecaster with all the stops pulled out. I think I may be in a White Album mood tonight, or maybe The Stones and just let it bleed (not literally).
Some kinds of happiness are measured out in miles. I may be doing some mileage soon. from family man to outsider in just under 3 months, all because my daughter cut herself and got help but was angry at me because I was the only one in the family willing to risk telling her how much we wanted her to move on from her boyfriend that we all despised so she put me on the no visit list while she was in a ward. 7 weeks later, she has dumped him, she is doing better, and I am the reason she cut herself and a hundred other bad things that have happened over the past 25 years. I won't hear the end of this until i am underway to another life in another place. How sad. how unfortunate. How irreversable? Don't know for sure but I will be trying to decide for awhile. A little while.
Counseling is my suggestion too. But my wife will not accept a counselor I pick, they always take my side she says. Even when we picked one at random, she thought we were picking on her. I won't waste my time unless she picks one and decides if we keep going or not. I cannot force it on her and she won't take advice from "strangers". I am afraid that ship has sailed.
