My mom called today. Ever the bearer of awesomeness (that's sarcasm) she was calling to tell me about my brother in law ( Read more... )

I could try to do the whole comforting-lies bit, but I'm no damned good at it, and you don't want it anyway. So..

How's Karl? Fine? Dog's doing okay? Neighbors haven't burned down your house yet? ... Right. Keep all that in mind.

Also, I think it's better that he didn't die. When my one sister's husband killed himself, it kind of.. broke something. She didn't recover from it for a lot of years, even though the guy had been less than worthless. Apparently it's somehow harder to say "Ha ha, I'm never going to see you again, you fucking bastard!" to a coffin.

Everyone's fine. And everything is okay. I haven't had a lot of sleep lately, a friend of my parents that we grew up with has added cancer to her all her other ailments and my mom doesn't know how to deal with the one friend she has dying. So that's been on my mind too. I'm trying to do that vent/not bottle thing. But I'm okay and She's okay.

It's definitely better that he didn't die. I didn't really mean to wish him death. This is just a fine example of how his thinking goes and how selfish he always has been. This is the kind of guy who, as punishment for shitting in its tiny tiny kennel while it's been locked up for 10 hours, will put the dog with massive stomach issues BACK IN THE KENNEL. And yell at it. And wonder "why would he just listen to me?" He's walking garbage.

it just makes me mad. But it's okay that it makes me mad. As long as my sister comes out of it okay then none of it matters.

Owww. Yeah, that's a tough one.

He did... wha?... like *any* dog is going to cope well with being locked in a kennel for that long... yeah, guy's a real saint. Reeeeeal, um, yeah.

As usual, you've got the whole "sense of priorities" thing down. I hope your sister copes, and gets away from Saint Guy, and does okay.
