Lots is going on in our lives.  Sports, high school, middle school, two teenagers, impending license, impending child support county services issues and now an adult tantrum.  Are you kidding me?  Yes, there are so many things to be thankful for; I have a roof, food, friends, dogs and cats I can care for, I'm healthy but seriously, to throw a tantrum because the Internet didn't work for you in the wake of a conversation you didn't like?  Grow up.

Your friend is having trouble with his fiance, soon to be second wife.  He comes to me.  I'm honest but not brutal.  It's HARD.  Even if you have a "good" bio mom, it is still hard.  When they are bitter, harder.  When they are angry, even harder.  When they are miserable, watch your back.  Every step my now husband and I made in our relationship triggered an issue with little miss Scarlett.  When she became aware of me, lawsuit for money and sole physical and legal custody.  When we got engaged, lawsuits for money on my birthday (this continued for many years).  Our wedding?  She threatened to go to court to disallow the children to go because SHE didn't like the timing.  I was honest as to what could happen, not what HIS ex would do.

Apparently this struck a cord for my husband or something has been going on that I am not aware of because tonight has been totally out of control.  He couldn't order an iPhone for his daughter so being snippy and curt with me seemed to be the answer.   I didn't come running like the bitch I'm not so that was a problem too.  Whenever I'm not exactly what he wants, its a problem, especially after a few beers.  I'm not calling him a violent drunk because physically he isn't.  Certainly he likes to raise his voice as it must be a means in another realm of his life where he gets his way.  I'm really tired of it.  I spent the first half of my life getting yelled at, I certainly don't need it now.

It really is painful to know that he thinks saying what he says the way he says it is okay.  It isn't and he damages our relationship more than he knows when he does it.  Maybe he should think about that some before he decides I'm an ass because the Internet isn't working the way he wants.
