How could She?
Fast forward about a year after they married.I stayed with them briefly.He showed how truly two faced he could be.How nasty,cursing you for everything and anything.Demanding you adhere to his religious views while he himself ignored it.Is it not a sin to curse,gamble,cheat,lie,to have unclean thoughts?By his own religious views he is damned yet thinks he's surely getting into heaven.Why?He was "saved' while he was in prison for whatever crimes he committed.(he never will say what they were)But this being 'saved" is not some get out of hell free card he thinks it is.Its not some "do what i want now" card either.Why do people always believe this?
That aside,i watched my mother fall apart further,drink herself to sickness.I watched her curse and scream,break things,hurt herself,vomit.And I cleaned the mess up,as a good child would do.I would deal with her saying she was going to kill herself.I would deal with her saying she was unloved and that i hated her.I would clean up any mess to she made,and ignore the hurtful comments.
They would fight day and night, in person or via phone.Nothing was ever right to either of them over anything.They would egg each other on to no end.I hated to hear it,it reminded me so much of my childhood.I sought ways to escape it...
At some point i begged over and over again for her to leave him.She would say yes,then change her mind.I remember the day I left.She packed many things up,we got the uhaul.I loaded it nearly full and then he called.And her mind changed and i had to unload it and we took it back.She did not leave with me that night.It was depressing and i worried for her.I couldn't stop feeling guilty for having left her there but what else could I do?She said she'd follow me...i almost believed it.
Two weeks later the call comes in.He caught her drunk or something idk,and he wanted her out.Come we say...we're here for you.She says she is leaving.She gets as far as Crestview Florida and what happens?No more calls,no more information.She's off the map.She wont answer her phone or return a call.When we last tried,she did answer but only because she didn't know the number,and she quickly hung up once she knew it was my cousin.She would not answer when i called from my phone right after.Nor has she called me back.
Still not knowing if she was safe or where she may be I emailed a friend of her's who i thought may be able to shed some light on the matter.What i was told is she turned around and went back to Baton Rouge.That said friend hasn't heard from her either since,she wont answer the phone calls.
It makes me mad.It upsets me to no end.Why would she cut her family out this way.How could she just leave everyone hanging without at least saying something to let us know what she was doing.I feel ever so betrayed and abandoned.But that is life right.I shouldn't expect any more from someone who never wanted me to start with.
Oh well i dont' know what to feel anymore.
