Dorrie's Doll Diaries
Wednesday, 9 January 2008
Shoving the 'Hang In There !" kitten where it belongs...
Now Playing: everyone else being OK but me.
 

Current Mood : Variably explosive and weepy. 

 

I honestly don't know if I can go through this anymore. They're always here, I don't feel like I have a way out, and much as I'd like to just hide away, I can't. As soon as my footfalls hit the linoleum, there they are. I'm so scared I'm gonna let my words fly - and they'll hurt -  that I can't say anything so I smack on this idiotic smile and pretend. I don't know how much longer I can. At first, I thought this living arrangement would only be for a few weeks, but...they're talking months. Last time they moved in with a relative it was for over a year !

 

I tried to focus on other things. I slept more, and was on the computer more than was healthy, but I'm still tense. I don't want to leave while they're still here. I can hear that darn cat yowling like he has been since last night, and I want to yell that he can take his four paws back to their old house if it's so hateful here. Among other things I wanna yell...

 

I know I'm letting my anger rule. I know I'm over-emotional. But I also know that this is my worst nightmare, and I seem to be the only one who has a problem with it. Talked with Beloved Hubby tonight, in whispers so they wouldn't hear, but he just wanted to give me platitudes about anger and letting things go. He's probably right, but who wants to hear words engraved on plaques over at Hallmark when you're about to explode and no one cares ? I'm really starting to worry about my marriage and my own sanity...

 

Sorry. I'm still not much on dolls right now. I'll try to get a grip, but right now...(sigh)

Name: "Michelle"

Dorrie hon I don't know what to say.  I feel for you hon, I really do.  Now I will say this, please don't let this affect your marriage.  Understand this isn't easy on your hubby either.  He's torn between pleasing his wife and pleasing his parents.  That can't be easy on him.  He wants to make everyone happy.  I think that there needs to be a time limit set up on how long they will be staying there.  They need to understand it was kind of you all to open your home to them, but it was not for forever and they need to work on getting their own place again.  You need to make up a contract...yes an actual one...of all house rules and the time limit expected for them to stay.  I know it seems harsh, but if you get it out of the way now, you get it over with.  I hope I didn't seem to harsh, but I worry how this is affecting you.  I hope you feel better soon hon.  Hugs.
