This is highly likely to be our last Christmas gathering as a family. As much as I'm trying to make the best of it, knowing what's coming after the first of the year isn't helping.
I'm on a 30 day heart monitor. It filled up once already today and I had to drive 60 miles to get to a place where it could get a cellphone signal to send the data that accumulated, then drive 60 miles back. Didn't want to tell family what was going on, my hand was forced today and now everyone's upset at me. Wife wanted to come up to the middle of no-freaking-where with nothing around for 60+ miles to see her perfectly healthy parents, knowing I'm on a heart monitor and need to be monitored 24x7. Sure enough, closest cellphone signal for the heart monitor is 60 miles straight south.
Why I came, simply to please her I don't know. This bullshit is over after the first of the year. It's all going to be a matter of who races to divorce court first.
If I could curl up in a corner and just die right now, I would because I've just had enough this year. Well, at least not until I've changed the revokable living trust and gave everything to the kids and leave the wife without a pot to piss in anyway.
Yeah, Merry Christmas indeed.
I’m sorry to hear about your health and relationship. I know how that can be. Been divorced twice. One my decision and the other I knew wasn’t going to work but I have my son (first didn’t want kids) so I am thankful. I think of everything as an adventure now. After being with the first and going through hell (being in VT mountains I loved and being absolutely miserable) nothing will ever be as bad. My kid being deployed was stressful but nothing is worse than a bad relationship. It takes time to transition but just take it a day at a time. Have a blessed New Year!
