Avoid making impulsive decisions when I am feeling desperate and vulnerable
Keeping my cool

I managed to avoid becoming homeless by not losing my temper in a heated argument between myself and one of my roommates recently. It was a stupid argument come to think of it, but at the time what I really wanted to do was say a lot of hurtful things that undoubtedly would have had me thrown out (he owns the house). I’ve always been somewhat juvenile when confronted with hostility, and it’s always come back to bite me in the ass. It’s a comfort to actually see myself as I’ve grown up about certain things. It’s a comfort to recognize the benefits of my chosing not to be impulsive.

lmao

Now why hadn’t I thought of that myself? I’m also going to subscribe to every Newspaper company out there. Thanks for the advice! 8^)

You're gonna laugh

Something I hadn’t mentioned, is that not only does he own the house, but he’s also my ex-husband. And on top of that, he was a professional Psycho-therapist for a very long time, had a private practice and everything (so he’s never ever wrong about anything) You may be wondering why I’m living with my ex-husband, well that’s sort of a long story so I won’t bore you with details. He’s actually sort of doing me a favor right now, and it’s only temporary. He still bitches at me like I’m his wife a lot. It’s funny because I get along with his girlfriend better than him most of the time. And now to answer your question. He was pissed that I didn’t wash the dishes and iron his shirts like he’d asked me to (yes, I still do this crap for him), and that instead I went out with a friend. He didn’t freak out on me until the next day about it. And when he did, he was blowing things way out of proportion because he was very tired from working a 14 hour shift the day before and he’d only had about 4 hours sleep that night. I guess his relationship with his girlfriend is still so new that he doesn’t feel comfortable taking things out on her yet. She has no idea what she’s in for.

Thoreau Style! I like it! We could wear peasant skirts, sing folk songs, and write poetry together. :)

You have no idea

Just ask Holly. She know’s exactly how “always right” my ex-husband is. What’s scary, is that he is so manipulative and often so convincing. I think Holly is smart because she’s learned to just not ask him for advice on things, and she’s seldom around, so she doesn’t have to deal with it as much. He means well though I guess, but his friendship doesn’t come wihout expense. It is a very complicated situation, but hopefully I’ll be out of here by mid January (yayyyy). As it is I’ve already been here a lot longer than I’d originally anticipated. He usually doesn’t ask much of me, and he’s done an awful lot to help me out, so when I find him being irrational at moments, I find that it’s best to bite my tongue. (when you see a man sleeping, let him slumber) He’s usually not that bad, but then again mybe some part of my sub-conscious mind thinks I deserve to take his abuse. Maybe a part of me thinks I deserve it for leaving him, and so I rationalize his behaviors towards me. Who knows. We are all sick sometimes. Regardless, you are right, it’s not healthy for either one of us that I am here. I’m hoping to be out very soon. I’ve been looking :)
