One year ago this weekend my wife and I came home for thanksgiving and by the time we went back to where we were living (as indentured servants) we knew we would be moving back home. As my dad says, "No good dead goes unpunished". And it didn't we moved well away from where we planned to be and stopped our lives completely in order to help family that had portrayed themselves as needing help. This was far from the truth really they just needed someone to lord over and have kiss their asses. After leaving the lady of the house (my mother) called and cursed me for being selfish and leaving her. Now this is the same woman who left my father when I was 3ish and has never paid a lick of child support in my life, also the same person we moved down there to help. After she apologized i tried to play nice even though i knew she didn't mean it. The joke of it all is is that everything that she has done to me in my life she says it happened to her. then she has the gumption to tell people about this great life we had together that is 100% fake and that she has just made up. When i called her on this she said that is the way it felt to her. So here we are and next weekend is my birthday it will have been 1 year since I have seen my so-called family and I am completely okay with it. My mom and her family have been within a 40 minute drive of where i live twice but said it was to far out of the way and they didn't have time to come by they also have visited other family that is 3 hours from their house at least once every two months in the last year. So i didn't call them on thanksgiving because my life is just easier when i don't talk to them. I am blessed to have an awesome wife with a huge heart who has made me try to make it work with them for years but now she under stands. I was raised by the most awesome father a person could have and he still is my best friend besides my wife. My wife's parents are awesome in laws and i could not ask for a better relationship than what we have. With all this family that I have here where I live it is not worth my time or mental capacity to worry about what people, whose only reason for talking to me is to hold stuff over my head, are doing. I love and appreciate my wife, I love and appreciate my dad and step mom and I love and appreciate my in-laws. More than that I can only thank Jesus for the lessons he has taught me and my family through these trials. Thank you Lord for giving me such an amazing support system.........
P.S. I hope the lost family I have written about reads this and reflects. I will not answer when you call, I will not call you back and if you harass my wife we will talk face to face
Good night neverland.
