Well, I discussed - in my last blog - the friend of Eve's whose alcoholism has made any relationship with him less than tolerable. Finally, Eve is willing to let him go...
This person, who peed on my 1000 dollar mattress, and passed out naked in the guestroom floor left our home on Friday evening seemingly content and ready to get back to his own apartment...We know he's a person who stews over conversations, but WOW...Really?? When he left on Friday, he offered to come back on Sunday to allow Eve to use his truck one more time since my tire wouldn't be in until Monday afternoon and there was a lot of driving to be done on Monday...Amy had her final court appearance for custody...I started my new job...Eve had to go to work - get off early to pick me up so me and the kids could get to Galveston for court...all on a donut. So....We told Eve's friend we would call him on Sunday if we wanted or needed to borrow the truck again. We were just relieved to see him leaving our house!
He calls on Sunday morning and I told him that it just wouldn't work out to use his truck because it only seats two people and three had to get to court...he seemed taken aback by that and later he calls while we are all watching a movie so we don't answer the phone...then, Eve calls him back when the movie is over....OMG...He comes to our house to get his motorcycle, and any of his belongings that have been stored here because he's gotten a storage building for his stuff. GOOD! Come to find out, he is offended that WE don't understand that he is HAPPY just the way he is and instead of telling him that we cannot stand him for even one more night...we're willing to put our family in jeopardy by riding on a donut.
Eve goes with him to the storage building...instead of him loading his bike in his truck and making ONE trip...he's too afraid to use his ramp and tie downs so Eve must go with him and he must bring her back home. So...we thought they had opportunity to work out their friendship on the ride home. This person cannot and will not accept responsibility for his actions...there's always an excuse, which he calls 'reasons' for his inappropriate behaviors. The peeing in the bed is new and cannot be related to his drunkeness...his ADHD cannot be controlled by traditional means of medication...he must take his meds his way..not the doctor's way AND he must drink in order for it to work. He can drive 140 on his motorcyle, but he is careful so no one would be hurt by him...WOW...what a piece of work.
Anyway....he and Eve talked, but he spent the rest of the day stewing about the fact that we cannot allow his drinking in OUR house...what he does at his own home is his business and we have no problem getting together with him there (we can leave if we want). We want him to be happy, but not at our expense. So...apparently, he stewed about that until 1:00 am and started texting us. He went on an on about how he will never meet our standards and how we should want him to be happy and how we should be as happy as him....Eve called him and he had the nerve to be OFFENDED that we were angry about the texts...he didn't realize it would wake up the entire house...he didn't know the ringer was that loud...he was pouring out his heart to us and we had the nerve to be angry with him. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Anyway...he started calling the house phone, next. I talked - rather tried to talk - but he was too drunk to understand anything. The final words were that if we couldn't handle getting a heartfelt text message at one in the morning then we shouldn't be friends...my response, "okay"...click...
Wish it hadn't ended like that, but then again, can't imagine it ending any other way. Eve was so angry with him she didn't sleep the rest of the night. I know it really hurt her.
Oh well....work is good, money is great. Things are getting back on track. School is progressing nicely and I am getting excited about actually working in my field soon. Love to all...til next time
