I'm off on leave from work for having been robbed 15 times in the last seven years.........this last one very violent........................ I feel at the best of times I'm not being all that helpful to him.....I'm doing a specific treatment right now re: the robberies that is.. obviously distressing........he was insisting that I tell him why I came home in such an emotional state today.....and........I did..........kept it very brief/clear................it was all good...........and then.. I went into the bedroom with the phone.......to call some women friends of mine........who.. coincindetally had gone through the same kind of thing as I.....although ..not nearly as often.......he came in with his winter gear on. stating that he was going for an ice cream.............yeah...........9: something on a cold evening................whatever.........it's now been over three hours..........as far as I know he had over $160.00 on him...................I feel quite awful because mabye I gave him cause to use............Obviously he's gone to use..............know what.........I DON'T CARE ANYMORE...............I REALLY DON'T CARE........................... I'm thinking of just taking off right now................. Like anyone would even notice............let's see....I have two elderly "love you tons.. don't care about anything else unless you feed us" type kitties............and .. gosh..............that's about it..............so.. I think I'm off here for a bit.................................... Thank you all .. especially Hululeah..I know I spelled that wrong... my apologies............
