The gift of
desperation. The gift that keeps on giving.
Shame and pain. Swept away by righteous
rage. Dashed on a rocky shore. Shaken I asked myself, “Can I be sane inside
this relationship?” The answer is, “I
don’t know.” The gift is knowing that things
cannot stay the same. We need new tools
because our shit does not work. She is
willing to come to the table. I am in
the process of looking for one. This
gives me hope. I want to stay in the
solution and in spite of the insanity am generally able to manage, but last
weekend I lost it. Money got tight, I
did not have enough sleep, she got mean, and I did not have the reserves to
manage myself. I yelled at my wife “You’re
an evil fucking bitch!” in front of my children at a gas station. Real ghetto shit. I have rage.
I have never been in situation before where it has possessed me as it
has in the past three years. I know this
is not only rage about the current situation but about 38 (out of 42) years of
rage that needs to be healed. I pray to
find a process, step work, therapy, reading to bring my rage to the light and
let it go in some healthy way. I seek a
path with heart and know I have great violence within myself.
Dude, this is so powerful. The courage to write it down and own your shit is badass and inspiring. Thank yo for your truth and giving me Strength to do the same.
