I know it was just a matter of being spoiled by seeing him day in and day out for better than a week in a row, but why am I now missing Bruce almost unbearably after only a day apart? Because I don't know when I'll next be with him - silly as that is - but there is no logic at all where love is concerned. And then having him tell me of another instance where her family succeeds in abusing him and successfully appealing to the basic kindness of his nature galls me all to hell! I'm not gonna tell it, because it's his to tell or not in his own way and time - but I wanna bitch slap some people so bad I just can't stand it!

And packing books (which means two bad things - breathing dust that I react to badly, and lifting more than I should for my back's health) is a sucky way to spend an evening. So after being only about 1/2 done, I'm fleeing out the the pub with the fencing group to get away from myself for awhile.

Hopefully I'll come back in a better mood.

rrrr

Did he bail on calling the cops?

Gonna mail that boy a spine....

No, he let a cop talk him out of pressing charges. But the basic lies she pulled off trying to convince all of them regarding his 'uncaring' nature gall me to no end - even extending to his own children! And when Bruce calls to demand that the weapons be returned by tomorrow or he really will press charges, the goddamned boyfriend pulls this righteous indignation bullshit about how he'd like to punch Bruce out for abusing those grieving children so. I'd love to pull a full-Elizabeth-shit-fit all over his dishonorable hide. I don't care how tall, good-looking or loaded he is; he'd resemble the dirtpile he really is once I got through walking up and down him.

It's probably a good think I am not down there right now.

grrrr

reserved does not equal uncaring
nice does not equal doormat
self-preservation does not equal being mean

The reason he should press charges is that the guns were "sold" illegally. They are now floating in the market. If they are licensed in his name and anything untoward is done with them and he hasn't gotten a police report in, he's fucked.

what she said.

gotta cover your ass!

And while we can't actually do anything, and we know he has to do this for himself, that doesn't mean we can't complain about it. It's a wench's right and privilege to complain about men! (hee)

It goes even further than that! He's gotten away with murder all his life and he doesn't know what it's like to get nailed. Dad needs to nail him to the wall. Screw the boyfriend. He can bloody well come down here and try to do something....I'll show him what they teach the Army these days!
Besides, the "grieving" he's doing is unhealthy-not to mention illegal. I've seen him before; he doesn't get sad, he gets piss-mad and starts punching things. Well, I'm sure you've had enough of my opinion.
Luv ya!

LOL - S'ok; you more than have the right to express your opinion, 'specially when it coincides with my own. Bruce keeps finding other things he's taken, broken or messed up. It turns out that he's been jailed in Tulsa for outstanding traffic violations. So Bruce called the officer who took the report and up-dated him. There were also officers here this morning looking for both Chris and Bastian for outstanding traffic tickets - oh boy!

Trust me - I think this time his goose is truly cooked! And you're right - he's brought it completely upon himself. LOL - not even Andy is willing to bail him out this time!

Hugs,
Susi

You, my dear, are very much in the same position I find myself in these days.

Here's the truth of it. He must face this himself. He must deal with it himself. You can be supportive, but he must put his life back together on his own, make himself whole and then you will be able to be together.

You do not have a place in this process other than to love him, listen and advise him as someone who has been to hell and back through relationship closure.

Take care, my dear...you will need to over the next couple of months as you go through transition yourself.

Yes, long distance relationships are hell, aren't they? And you are right, of course, but patience has never been one of my outstanding virtues.

Oh yes, you grok the whole thing completely, painful partings and all. And yes, happy that it's there, but definitely wierd. And then there's the whole looking-for-job stuff. *sigh* Love is wierd, grand, and whole lots more! But isn't being happy nice?

Go Susi!

Thanks for watching over my Daddy; he needs it, whether he admits it or not. I don't care what the rest of the family thinks or believes; they knew she was a coniving little.....well, they should've known better than to believe her, dying or not. She was always one to do anything, say anything to stay in the center of attention and always very willing to play the victim. I wish I could be there now; I'd smack some sense into a few people. His own kids! I hope my own don't turn out the same. That's not an insult to Dad, but to them. They're adults now and should behave as such. Once again, I'm glad you're there for him. Rest assured you always have at least one ally in our family.

Love always!
Amber

Aw, sweetie - no fear that I will do whatever I can to support your dad. And your love and support means the world to me. You always knew what was going on and I always knew you knew! hehe - if that makes any sense at all!

Bruce and you were the ones who suffered the most from her behavior but I certainly saw signs of how far the poison spread when I went down to southern Oklahoma. And that'll take some time to get over. I believe the truth will out in the end; time will tell who was the honorable one in all this. Kindheartedness and integrity will prove stronger than fading spite and dishonesty.

Bruce and I are going to be very happy and I've always said, "Living well is the best revenge." It's true!

Love you too, my dear,
Susi
