I received a phone cal from D this morning at 9am. I was working and did not answer my phone but when I had a chance I called him back. I innocently called him back, happy to hear his voice, and he asked me why I was calling him. I said because you called me so I was calling you back. At this time I had not noticed he left me a voicemail. As I stand there smiling on the phone, he briefly says I fucked up, and he is done. Very matter of fact like. How I wish I had the balls to tell everyone what really happens, and what this argument is really about, but I know what the response will be so I keep all to myself. I tell no one. As he says it my body gets warms all over like a chemical warm feeling filling my body, it goes every where and I am aware of it moving over me as I stand there with my jaw dropped. I really did nothing wrong! I can not say enough how I did nothing at all and that this argument is a symptom of a much larger diagnosis.
When I met D it was fucking every where all the time.
Then I was pregnant and for the first time things were more real, he now had problems at home and moved to North Jersey.
He struggled for work since that time, we struggle to find time since that time, we struggled to hold on to what we had, but we did.
In this last year, he was gone for 6 months of it, I have struggled with feelings of being unhappy with our situation. I love him and I love being with him, but part of me is tired of feeling so tired and so emotional drained. I have given so much of myself to this man. I have given all of myself to this man. If I have it he has it, when he is stressed I relax him, when he needs me to I listen. I live and breathe for this man's happiness and in return I have been taken for granted. I have been humiliated and I have been crushed.
I listen to the voicemail, which is " Yo I am done with you, I am like so done with you".
And I replay it and I replay it and then I call back and leave my own voice mail. I dont even cry anymore I just remind him how I have given him all that I have had, and I dont appreciate how he treats me in return. I make myself sick with this shit. Ugh someone help me PLEASE!
My emotions transcend from deep hurt, to anger, to indifference somewhere around 3pm. Then comes the excitement. Am I free at last? Can I move along with my life and not have this man hold me down, I feel rejuvenated. I am smiling and happy, my coworker said I was glowing.
So now I am thinking about two things.
1. Will my daughter ever know him, and does it even matter anymore, will he suck the soul from her as he done me? And for that matter, I am about at the "your daddy was an anonymous donor" point.
2. Will I find someone to fuck me like he does and hold me like he loves me too?
My head hurts with stress and a long day of thinking. Still feeling like dropping off the grid and moving to some kind of tropical paradise. Leaving it all behind would make me feel free. Re invent myself, a rebirth.
There is so much on my mind this evening. I saw a pic of my ex boyfriend on face book and it made me sad. I loved him so much. I really did. I treated him like shit though. I cheated on him a few times, I even fucked his friend, who I was not attracted to, I dont know why. To this day, I could vomit thinking of the man fucking me. It was horrible, and yet I did it to myself.
He contacted me about a year ago now, and told me how much he loved me, loved me still, and How much I fucked him up by the shit that I did to him. Wow after like 12 years he still loved me, after I humiliated him he still loved me. I remember him and this other guy fighting over me. I dont remember how they felt but I remember looking at him bloody and beaten and thinking that he must really love me. He continued to try to love me, and I let him down over and over again. Not that he was perfect but I was cruel to him. And I feel bad for it. And I see him now on face book remembering how loved he made me feel, and wonder what more was I looking for?
2 day in to my meds. Lets see what this does to me, I do feel a hair "lighter", not such a heaviness in my heart. About a week or two before I will feel something significant.
D called me back, to apologize maybe, in his own way. Have I mentioned that I hate D as much as I love him. Thinking about our sick relationship, seeing my mother in myself, how she would let my father emotional abuse her and she would give him EVERYTHING. And she still does, and when he is stressing he is not nice to her and she is crushed They have been living like that for over 30 years. . I see this sick pattern, why cant I stop it. I see the effects on my health on my spirit on my mind. I dont know what will eventually change my life, i dont know what event will catapult me into seeing things for what they are. Maybe I will too be clouded by my love for the rest of my life.
I try to think of my life in terms of "if I died today". If I died today what would I regret? miss?forgive? who would I love?
At the end of the day, all the other shit does not matter, it only matters what I did. Did I make the people I love feel loved? Did I love them with everything I have, did I sacrifice for them, will they know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I loved them. Did I help the ones I love, did I hold them up when they were weak?
I took tomorrow off of work, mental health day. Starting to feel more creative again after a few week lull, I am so interested in writing, I cant quite get myself organized. I really need to come up with a game plan on that. Times is just slipping away from me.
I do feel less burdened now. I love this blog.
