I do not know how to close this out. How to keep it private. I simply need a place to put my thoughts.
I'd prefer that nobody I know ever read them. I do not care if someone I do not know reads through, because in that case my thoughts are distant and unattached from the reader, and therefore can do no harm. My intent is to never do harm.
But Nik has said I am poison, and I am beginning to agree with him. I am starting to feel poisonous. Rank, rotting, and deteriorating.
If I put these thoughts here in my blog, then I do not have to worry about organizing my notebooks, or sorting or losing or having them go up in smoke. If I place my thoughts here, they do not have to be moved... or do they? perhaps at some point.
I have failed my sons. Completely. I thought I would be setting a different path and providing alternative ways of being of experiencing life and love. But the home I have instead provided, is depressed and disorganized, melancholy, and sorrowful.
It is not full of joy. It is not full of hope. It is a sad and sorry place.
I do not blame John for leaving us, I want to flee as well.
I do not know how to fix it, I do not know how to fix me. Now the IRS is "auditing" me to determine my actual Head of Household status. Can I actually "claim" that status. I do not know if the SP turned them on me. I would not put it past him, and of course, it is curiously incidental that at the very time I ask him to afford me the ability to continue to claim John, that when I tell him I could then go to court, that all of a sudden the IRS "audits" me, and John determines to go and live with his father. Now, with his decision to make his home elsewhere, I will forever lose Head of Household status.
Fortunately I completely qualified in '08, but now that John is going to live with his father, I will never again qualify.
I can't seem to catch a break, and end up only more and more broke and broken. I am uninspired in my job. I have lost my enthusiasm, well, in fairness this time 'round that flame was stamped out, trod roughly over and certainly no where near fanned, or protected.
I am tired, I am done. I do not know how to proceed. I know I am supposed to "keep going" but I have lost my zest, my vigor, my dreams, my hopes, my fancies.
I really do not know where to go nor do I know what to do. Nor to whom I can turn without simply sucking the life from them. I despair, and have no idea how I might proceed. That is my dilemma. Is this "mid-life" crisis? I do not know.

Hey Trina,
ReplyDeleteI know the most frustrating thing about a blog is the fact that even though you want to share your thoughts, you're connected by them to the internet and the judgment which proceeds. I mentioned earlier on my blog considering saving an actual diary on a flash drive.
Also, blogger is one of the more inferior blogging sites. Livejournal and Wordpress both give more control over privacy options.
Also, I've talked to both John and Chris and it's more a matter of being settled in one place where all of his stuff is than anything else. There were no ulterior motives in his move.
I'm so sorry Trina..I think it's just generally being burned out. I've felt like this before myself and I have a lot less life experience than you.
PS I don't feel as if this entry sucked anything from me.
