Everyone says they have a crazy ex. I actually do. Crazy like announcing she is going to throw a fit in the middle of campus after a college graduation because she doesn’t feel the way she wants to be feeling, which is instantly my fault and responsibility. The best choice I made in my life was getting married again. That only happened because I made a very very smart choice to get divorced in the first place. Man, she was going to kill me–either directly or indirectly. The level of stress and loss of hope such a sad and empty person can produce is off the charts. What bothers me most is how much of that she transfers to our kids and how little they seem to be able to avoid it.
I cannot do anything about that, because I refuse to be the person who bad mouths her. With her latest eruption, she’s doing that for herself. In a public setting. With full assurance that everyone around her supports it because she is right and I am the evil of this world. Yet, I am not evil. Instead, I remain the person who treats my kids like men and tries my best to prepare them for a world where they will not be babied and will not be able to blame others for the things that go wrong in their lives. Blame doesn’t solve problems. It just makes you feel better about yourslef as not being the one responsible… especially when you are.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Cameras Caught Caitlin Clarkâs Savage Message to Wings Player Trying to Defend Her” For perspective, Clark lost that game and shot 7-18 with 5 turnovers. She’s still considered an early favorite for MVP… What are we even doing? I get wanting “our chosen one” to win, but lets not bury the fact that she is playing out of position and is most likely better off as an off-ball shooter with a slasher PG running the flow.
