Life with an alcoholic, addict, bi-polar / psychotic (ex) spouse. Dealing with the manic, erratic, terrifying behavior, the sadness and decisions to be made to keep sane. My decision was to leave before he completely lost his mind.

100. The History of Key Lime Drive
Today is Sunday. Of course that means Kristin went to visit Mark. Me, on the other hand, am moving home for the first time since I left on November 28, 2012.
I had been packing things for a few days. Today I only needed to put them in my car. I grabbed my parrot and my dog after I finished loading up my car. Then I headed to my house.
You would think I would be happy to have my own place again. The house is relatively cleaned up. I have Megan to stay with me. Yet, all of the way driving to the house I cried.

91. Another Sunday. Another Jail Visit.
It's Sunday, so Kristin went to see Mark. I know he is her dad. And, I also know she feels sorry for him. It is just hard on me to feel like she is an advocate for him. He abused her too in all of this, as well as throughout the years.
My counselor, Amber, did explain to me that Mark is a master manipulator. He chooses people that have an enabler mentality (just like me). He knows Kristin has a good heart. She wants to help him in hopes that he will "get better." What she doesn't see yet is that he uses people to get what he needs. I hope she does in time.
