I haven't been blogging (obviously) or reading blogs for several days. The testing of my sanity has been continuing, but I'm back at least for today to say that I'm doing okay. Thank goodness for anti-depressants.
The latest fun has been with my daughter Cassandra who moved back in for a few days with baby Jordan. We were just trying to help her, but no good deed goes unpunished. The moving back didn't bother me, because she had us convinced that it was over between her and Mark, and we were both kind of relieved about it. It was the yo-yo-ing back and forth between loving her husband Mark dearly to never wanting to see or speak to him again -- every few hours that was the problem. She finally went back to her home, and I've been pulling myself back together for the last 2 days. It was just way too emotionally draining on me top of everything else. All I've wanted to do is sleep, and when I haven't been sleeping I've been playing mindless games on the computer.
So it's unlikely that she will be using us again soon to fight with Mark because it's just way too disruptive on the rest of the family. If she wants to come back again, it will have to be really, really convincing that she needs to and that it's more than another manipulation. At this point I just feel bad for the baby who is being used as a pawn by both of them to hurt each other.
News Flash
And now, this just in: she's already planning on leaving Mark with the baby tonight (who according to her was abusive and unfit a few days ago) so she can "hang" with her so-called friends and go to all the teenage hangouts. She seemed to be doing better for awhile, but now let the Biolar/Borderline games begin! I'm going to try to think happy, fluffy thoughts now.
I'm so sorry to hear all this happening, 2flower. I'm praying for better days ahead for all of you. Take care of yourself, my friend!

Posted by: brykmantra at May 15, 2004 12:55 PMGotta love it, don't ya? Life is either boring or hanging on by the skin of your teeth. Sometimes I think after this nothing will suprise me and then something always goes and tries to prove me wrong. The only thing that I have ever learned is that anything can happen to anyone. Everybody is in the same boat floating toward the same destination. Just some of us are wearing nicer clothes. ;)
