Iâm here, Iâm alive Iâm sober and Iâm happy.
Day 158.
Strange day yesterday, our garage sale was open, a couple came and after a little chat we got to know that he was an old friend to my husbands father.
Then we went to the accordion concert and when we got back home my husbands nephew called. Itâs been a while, my husband doesnât really talk to anyone in his family besides his father. Long story short, his parents was never together. And his half sister is a special edition. She had a rough life, but is also pretty good at scheming people so we cut contact years ago.
Anyway, my husbandâs nephew has been involved in some kind of gang in his old hometown, it went pretty far something got wrong. His own half brother (on the mothers side) beat him up, stole some things he was supposed to deliver (donât really know if it was drugs,stolen items or whatever, I donât want to know) and now the Nephew is in pretty bad trouble.
Heâs a young adult, and now he had taken contact with his biological dadz which his Ma used to forbid. The dad a former bad guy, used to be a close friend to my husband back in the days. So now the Nephew has pretty much fled the field and lives at his dadâs place in another country. He called because his mother and his grandma (my husbands mother who we donât have any contact with either) is nagging on him to come back.
But if he does, itâs the equals to death for him. So he wonât.
My husband told him to stay where he is, and then talked to the dad, so they are going to try to protect this kid and keep him out of trouble.
Even if non if them are bad guys anymore.
When we where done with that mess, my brother in law called my husband, and my sister called me, they had been in a huge fight. Itâs not unusual, and itâs not my problems. Unfortunate for my sister Iâm on her husbandâs side in this. Heâs an artist, and makes decent money on selling his art. Not everyday but occasionally, he helps pay for the house, daycare and everything else. He doesnât have a driverâs license, and use his bike pretty much everywhere (Think artist old school hippie amd you get the picture)
My sister wants him to get a normal job, get a driverâs license,care for the house and their kid because sheâs having her vacation, and he is âalways home anywayâ and if he doesnât get a job they need to change the daycare times again so theyâll fit her working hours, because she doesnât want her husband to ride a bike that far with their kid.
I told her that she knew who she married and that they need to work it out. Having vacation from work doesnât mean you donât have to do shit at home. So now sheâs mad at me
Then I had a chat with my brother and mother whoâd been in an argument. My brother whoâs also on vacation had been staying there for the weekend and immediately started to complain about the condition of the house and garden.
I said itâs not his problems, he doesnât live there.
Neither him or my sister had drive Ma to the mechanics to pick up her car thatâs been there for weeks. Even if they promised to so this weekend. So she wanted help to pick it up tomorrow.
Guess weâre helping her again.
I donât get it, nothing I do is ever enough for anyone in that family, and yet Iâm the one they always calm to solve their problems. Can you just quit on your family?
Maybe I should do like the nephew and run to another country? That far away Island Iâve been taking about maybe?
Sorry for the long post. At least itâs never boring to be me.
Thatâs all Folks
Wishing yâall a wonderful day.
