I am. I’m still hanging in there. I wound up moving 6 times in the last year, went through a horrible (but luckily short) abusive relationship with an asshole who stole my dad’s ashes, and a court case, new medication, new symptoms, new problems and suddenly I have 4 cats instead of 2.
I also have roommates now. I live with my brother who is currently in jail, and his friend who’s a disabled Iraq Marine. so that’s been happening. With him in jail the household shit falls on me, because Aaron is the most disabled out of all of us, and that’s been taxing since Mike’s been gone almost a month.
I live with 2 dudes, but thankfully, I finally have my own room and shit and now that my ex is gone no one is stealing shit or touching me in my sleep. The cats are fat and happy and now have 2 twin brothers. I shall post pictures in another post if requested. Peaches and Murphy have adapted to their brothers well, and Stormy is enamored with Peaches and loves her endlessly and peaches is sooooo over it.
Francis, the abusive one was tossed out in October. I lived with him since March, and we were dating from then until July when I ended it after he assaulted me and a week aafter that he broke all my shit. I had to live with him for 2 months in his house. aaron Mike and I got a place in September and he decided he was moving in. He demanded to share a room with me (and my bed that he broke) or to have his own room, he was denied both and told he had 3 weeks to leave. he didn’t. he claimed he was going to california, and didn’t because the whore he cheated on me with chose to drop the restraining order against him, so he “decided that he was staying” he was told again to leave when he was caught stealing from my room and Mike once again. he refused, slammed his head on the wall and gouged at his eye. finally, he left after all of us literally screamed him out. then he demanded to talk to aaron or he would go to the hospital and say the injuries were from aaron and not self inflicted like they were. Which is what he did. Aaron is facing charges on his lies, because of the domestic law that requires one person be arrested. Aaron was arrested only because francis had injuries despite being self inflicted. francis said he had a scratched cornea, then it was a retina, then he started telling people that he had a fracture optical socket and needed surgery. All of which were lies. He lied about soo much shit man. there was so much drama, then Mike got arrested for back child support and here we are. He gets out on friday, so the household should return to normal. and normalcyy here is quite relaxing. I’ve finally become part of a functioning, normal household that isn’t fueled with anger, disdain, abuse, violence, or hate. it’s nice. things are becoming as they should be, and my writing should follow shortly.
Life has been calming down and I am honestly working on updating, but it might take me another few weeks or a month. I’m working on burning the furniture in Reluctant Surrender and rolling with that. God it’s taking forever. Thanks for checking in on me Anon.
one of my cats is named Mr Big Beefy. In Spanish that’s Senior Gordo Fiordo.
3 of them are orange. The one that isn’t is named Peaches. How Ironic.
