argh. I'm sorry to go off track here, but X just
called me. My caller ID on the cell phone was blocked
or somethng, all it said was 'private number'. Since
e had just called me a few minutes before, I
thought she might be calling me again re: a play I
invited her to next week.
She asked if it was a good time to talk, and I said
no, I'm at work, I can't really say anything. She said
something about how she "could really use someone to
care about me right now" and did the artful
'voice-breaking trying not to cry' thing at the end.
"There's that word," I said, meaning 'use'
I said I am interested in the children but I am not
interested in her. She said she understood and then
right after that said that she still didn't understand
why I got so mad at her last April, just because she
asked me not to tell her husband that she wanted to take an
extra day on the Great Escape weekend. I said I was
sorry, but I just wasn't interested.
*sigh* my heart is just pounding right now. I am so
mad and freaked. What the fuck. There is _no_ way in
hell I could possibly articulate (and at WORK,
especially) how very very much I feel betrayed, used,
and manipulated by her. That the escape weekend thing
might have eventually been forgivable, IF she'd
understood WHY it pissed me off so much, and IF she'd
tried harder to be a real friend after that,and IF she
hadn't been busted for drugs immediately thereafter.
Not just drugs, but selling them and doing them in her
home in front of her babies.
-----------
It wasn't the great escape weekend,it was the cumulative effect of
all the lies & bullshit and manipulation and grabby gimme stuff. If
she wants to be blind to the fact that she'd been treatng me like
shit for years before I finally put my foot down, that is her
business. It took me a while to stop being blind to the years of
being used myownself.
