Well it’s early summer up here in Alberta. The leaves are all out and looking young and fresh and there’s blossoms out everywhere. What a great time of year to celebrate mothers, eh?
My mom and I have always been adversarial and that’s unfortunate. But it is what it is. We see the world differently and as a result I’ve always been on her shit list. Things got really nasty when I turned into a full blown Nazi during the horrible Covid Crisis and tried to kill her with all my germs, worms and viruses. We didn’t speak for a couple years and I know Pop wasn’t good with it but..whatever. If she wasn’t crazy then, losing Pop just pushed her over the edge. Now she thinks I’m just champing at the bit for her to die and go to hell so I can steal the vast Filthie family fortune. That pushed me over the edge and now I’m crazy too! If I didn’t have JL and the RCMP watching me like a hawk…I’d probably goon that old bitch with the flat of an axe and use that vast family fortune (at least 27.5 cents) to bribe my way out of prison! HAR HAR HAR!!!

I shouldn’t be a dink, she’s old, frail and has screws loose. It happens to us all eventually but there is nothing I can do for her because she won’t listen to me about anything. I think she should sell the house and get in to a home but whadda I know? She still talks to my wife and gets along with her so there’s that. If she needs anything she’ll let me know in her own time and way, and I will. But otherwise, I will be happy to keep the distance between us.
I used to think that if I were a better man and smarter that I would be able to deal with the bullshit of the modern liberal woman but after comparing notes with others, I don’t think anyone else has a clue either. (Outside of baseball bats, axes and garden shovels). Mom and I can square things in the next life, if she has a mind too. I’m good either way.
Today the Niglet and I only did three miles for our morning walk. When I got home I made a pot of coffee and enjoyed a cigar on the veranda. I might have seen the new neighbour - she was walking a dog I’d never seen before but it might have been the old neighbour’s ex-wife? He has crazy women in his life too and she was an unfriendly character too. I only ever saw her once or twice over the years. Whoever it was, she was frowning as she walked by and didn’t say good morning. That isn’t a good sign if it’s new neighbors but whatever. I let her and her pup walk up their driveway in silence. Moving is always stressful, it was early in the morn and I’ll pick up a bottle of wine as a house warming gift for them later on, perhaps. Early morning is never a good time to try and break the ice with frosty women. Sometimes I wonder how in hell I ever managed to get a good wife and marriage? My luck dealing with women is terrible generally speaking.
Oh man. So sorry to read aboutcher mom. There is no cure for liberalism. It is indeed a mental disorder. Was talking to a liberal neighbor about the recent discoveries of Fenbendazole, Thalidomide, and Ivermectin for curing cancer. He blew up, ran me off. On the way home I thought 'who'd ever think we'd see the day when cancer is curable, but liberalism is not?'
ReplyDeleteLet me guess, your Mom is a Left Winger as well ?
ReplyDeleteMy wife laughs because I have a list of "friends and relatives that I cannot discuss anything but pleasantries with".
Funny thing is they are ALL far Lefties politically and that crap is like a religion to them and they will tolerate no questioning or dissent.
The first are some of my cousins and another is a long term friend who was reasonable but is dating a left winger and now she is one.
I'd cut off contact but she is a dear friend of over 10 years and one of my wife's best friends so I just discuss pleasantries and when politics comes up I smile, bite my tongue until it's bleeding and say nothing because there is no point -- her mind is closed tight and it would start an argument I neither want or need.
Sadly these people I cannot have a close relationship anymore just a superficial one. It sucks and I resent people whose minds are closed tight and you can't have a conversation with.
I suspect your Mom is like this Filthie and honestly there is nothing you can do about it unless you want to bend the knee and agree to everything she says which is BS.
All the women in my family and circle are hard left zealots and tend to be unhappy - and they want to spread it too. I don’t get it. I dunno how to deal with it either. It used to bring me down but not anymore… if they want to live and think like that they can as long as they do it somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteI can do short stints with Mom as long as everything is superficial pleasantries but the second they start unloading with demands, ridicule and ultimatums and judgements … well… fuck ‘em all, I guess? How can I respect that? And make any peace with it? I used to bite my tongue and self medicate with booze but I can’t do it anymore, HAR HAR HAR! They can run their mouths all they want but not in my airspace. Not anymore, anyways. Life’s too short.

ReplyDeleteHeh. Fill your boots. I'm going fishing.
Well, this isn't very profound, but, life isn't fair. OH, and you can pick your nose and friends, but not your relatives.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have worked out yer coping mechanism well enough.
At least JL has yer back, "fill yer boots", (for me, a new euphemism for "get going").
