I am in a foul mood today. Really foul.
I just met with my husband and the bankruptcy attorney. I realize that this is the only logical step at this point, but I am just pissed off that I am in this position.
I have always been responsible with money. I have been a good wife and a good mother, while my husband was off cheating on me, blowing money and snorting cocaine and God knows what else. He risked our lives. He fucked our finances.
And I feel like his family should have stepped in and helped us. They raised him to be this way. They created this mess that I now live in. But do they do anything? No. They play golf and tennis. They sit there on their butts and make judgements about me.
They have no problem enabling his lifestyle. They have no problem paying for endless rehabs. But when it comes to the education they promised my children, or anything else, nothing.
I feel like their priorities are fucked. They are fucked.
Most of my days now are good. I have felt so happy and so free. I try not to dwell on any of this. But today, I am angry.
I know I can't (or shouldn't) expect a damned thing from my husband's parents. But I do. I would never leave my daughter-in-law in this position. I would never treat someone the way that I have been treated. All I can do now is try to erase them from my life and move on.
Someday, my children will know exactly who they are - and they will not be able to buy themselves out of that.
I am going to fix some lunch and do my Kundalini Yoga. I don't want to feel like this all day.
