Lord, I need to vent:
I am so glad my sister and her kids are here.
Yet, I know there are going to be some hard times and a lot of adjusting all around. Renee got frustrated last night and said, � I should�ve went to a shelter..� and she stomped inside and slammed the front door.
Where did that come from?
I got upset about that and I took it personal. I followed her inside and she was very upset and she was crying. She said she felt like she was intruding on me and she has always felt like that. I didn�t understand why because I�ve always gone out of my way to make her and the kids comfortable. Renee told me she�s going to feel like that no matter what.
She told me last night that she wonders if she did the right thing by leaving. Why does she wonder about that? I mean, was anything normal about the way Terry treated her and terrorized her? Part of me thinks she almost wants to go back, because it�s easier. It�s easier than starting over again.
She told me she wanted to give her kids stability and she feels bad because she keeps moving. I told her that stability is made up of a lot of different things and the best thing she can do right now with her kids is be consistent. Have the same rules. Be the same mom. It goes a long way. Kids need to know you�re not going to change even if your circumstances do.
I told her she has to remember too that this too shall pass. She won�t always have to live with her sister. Soon she can go back to being Queen of her castle and get her own place. We�re going to begin looking for low income housing for her immediately.
We went to the police station last night to see if there�s anything we can do to keep Terry away from my house. Not really. Since he�s in another state, basically, the deputy says, we�re pretty much out of luck. Unless we go to Clayton. And we�re not guaranteed anything then.
Great. So, we just wait until he approaches my front door with a gun, tell him to wait just a minute, and then we call the police. Crap.
Basically, they can�t do anything until he tries something.
Romy watched the girls while we went to the police station. That was so nice of her. She is a really nice lady.
Romy gets on Renee�s nerves. I don�t know why Renee doesn�t like her. I told Renee I think it�s because Romy�s a strong woman too and they�re butting heads. Secretly, I think truthful people are a little unnerving to Renee. Maybe she�s not used to people being honest with her, since all Terry ever did was deceive her. Maybe that�s why I get on Renee�s nerves too. I told her what a scumbag Terry is and she got pissed at me too. So, I don�t know why she doesn�t like Romy, but I have a feeling it�s the same reason I get on her nerves too.
I told Renee that Romy has a good heart and is a good person. That she�s only trying to help. I think Renee feels that everybody is trying to boss her around and she doesn�t like that. Well, I guess I wouldn�t either. But that�s not what we�re trying to do anyway. We�re trying to help. We�ve been there already. Just a few years ago, I had to start over too. I did tell Renee that I�d help her any way I could.
I�m trying to listen too. It seems like Renee has a lot to say.
I�m trying not to make a whole lot of comments about Terry because it will come back and bite me in the butt later.
I just have a funny feeling that it ain�t over because the fat lady hasn�t sung yet. I don�t think we�ve heard the last of Terry Wayne Hoses.
Oh, and tonight, we�re going to a little carnival over at Prime Time. There won�t be any rides but there�ll be a lot of fun stuff for the kids to do. I forgot about it until last night.
Sounds like fun.
