The topic: It feels like the fog is lifting

----------------------------------------------

Since my mom crashed, my life has been in some sort of fog.  You know that Claritin commercial where the person with allergies is fuzzy?  That’s how I’ve felt all this time.

First there was the anger with my mother.  Anger for what she did to me or anger for what she did to herself?  Maybe some of both?  Then there was the couple of years Brian was in a bad mood. That sucked. And let’s not forget the car accident.  That certainly wasn’t a positive thing in my life, for sure. And the insurance company certainly didn’t help there. These past few years have just not been complete. Like I was just calling my life in, not actually living it.

Anyway, it feels like things are finally changing. It’s nice.



“The couple of years Brian was in a bad mood”?
Gee, does he do that often? :D
Anyway, I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better!!!
God bless you and the brats!!! (Including Brian!!!)

Yeah, it started around the time my mom went into the nursing facility and finally came to a head earlier this year when he snapped at me one morning during breakfast when I asked what his plans were for the day. The gist of the conversation was “it’s none of your business”. For the first time since we’ve been married, I quit speaking to him. Three days. Then I finally asked him if he knew why I wasn’t conversating with him. He said “because of the other morning” and I said, as I walked out of the room, “that was just the straw that broke the camel’s back”. 

I can’t believe how unhappy I was, how miserable it was around here.  I can’t believe I put up with it as long as I did. He was just so negative about everything. It seemed like any time I said I liked something, he’d start to pick it apart and point out everything that was wrong with it. It was just wearing me out.

He obviously didn’t realize what was happening, it happened so gradually. Since the blow up, things have gotten much better.
