well fuck, yesterday didn't go well, did it. I hit 100mph flying back to pick you up, had to force my foot off the gas to slow down, cause getting the car smashed wouldn't help you. But that was yesterday. Today you're in Victorville waiting for your grandma to wake up so she can take you in. Miles away. And already I'm practicing the ‘step back’ exercises I was taught by someone else, to step away from emotions I don't or can't deal with. Fuck you for leaving so easily! You knew how I felt, and all I got was a glorious hug that I wish didn't end, so yea, fuck you.. you better keep your word to me. I don't want these to be my last thoughts cause they're too full of grief and pain. Get better, Ene Otsoa.. I need you. I can't lose you. I realized one simple fact while talking to a distant friend.. if I lose you, I'll lose myself. It'll be that last break, the last straw that shatters the last of me. So fuck you, don't fuck up, and come back. Swear it to me, even as you fight to keep promises to Alexis, that you'll keep them to me. I do hope, one day that A gets her head out of her ass, for you, too. But I'm not gonna lie, she doesn't deserve you anymore.
my kids think I dont put them first
If they only knew... if I were selfish, I'd have left them here with E years ago, without a word.. before the eldest moved out on their own, I'd have left. I'd have left when E left the first bruise (accidentally, though it was) on their arm while restraining them to punish them for something I can't even remember today. I'd have left E the day he accidentally choked my youngest, who was only trying to protect they're elder sibling from the wrath they felt sure they saw in his eyes after learning the middle had self-harmed. Blaming me for not checking on them, when the greater harm had been to the middle and I was checking on them! Protecting the middle from what I saw was the greater threat, E. But I stay here! To protect their ungrateful asses from the man I said vows to, though every second of every day I regret it deeper and deeper in my heart. My kids don't think I put them first when I find solace of any kind in the proximity of O - but they...have......
