For whatever reason I've been thinking about an old friend today.
She grew up down the street and around the corner from my childhood home.
Her dad was a raging alcoholic.He was a mean and verbally abusive man. He tormented my old friend with his raging, drunken, abusive behaviors. He could barely walk as he grew older because the years of alcohol abuse caused nerve damage to his legs.
When my friend was about 15 years old and after a morning of the usual abuses by her drunken father she snapped I think. All the years of hate, fear,and rage she felt towards her father came to surface. So after he crashed from his nightly drunk and morning abuse, my friend took a baseball bat to the room her father slept and she hit him in the head with this bat several times.
She didn't kill him. He wasn't even hospitalized. But she did cause him to bruise and bleed.
He didn't call the police.
I think he knew he deserved what she did to him.
She called me, invited me over to tell me what she had done, and to show me
the blood in his bed. In retrospect I think she was in shock..........
So yeah, I've been thinking about her.................it's sad how crappy some parents can be......how badly they damage their own children.
I've talked to my friend through the years.
She married once for a couple of years.........turned out he was a lot like her father.She left him. She's never remarried or had children of her own.
She doesn't drink or use drugs. Never has............she works hard at whatever job she works........takes care of herself...............I hope she is doing well.
Yesterday boyfriend and I went to a little antique store.
I bought this ashtray straight out of the 60's or early 70's. I fell in love with it...........not to use for
smoking.....I don't allow smoking in my house.....but I've put it on my DR table for now.....it's huge.....reminds me of something you'd see on a 60's television show.........or in my childhood home even.........it's a neat little piece of art I think
My dishwasher will not shut off. It's been running continuously, in the drain cycle since last 9PM.
Even when I open it, it continues to run.
I've gone through the checklist of things to do before calling for help.
Finally I called for help.
They wont be here until Monday.
Their best advice for the mean time is to pull the circuit breaker. Whatever....
I have poison ivy on my neck.
I was really careful while pulling it out of my yard so hopefully mt neck
will be the only place I break out!
