John Smith: What's wrong with you?
Jane Smith: You're what's wrong with me John.
John Smith: It was just a drunken Vegas thing.
Jane Smith: Oh, that's better. That's *much* better. What's her name and social security number?
John Smith: No, you're not gonna kill her.

Is he still with her?

[zippyknowsbest]

Yes. They're married.

My kids get along fabulously with her.

[alan_shore]

Ah.

There are more important things than getting along.

Making this private just because I'm too fucking tired to deal with the possibility of someone else joining in on this conversation.

Like what? That I'm their biological mother? Rachel prefers her to me. Not as a matter of teenage snideness, either-- she has ever since she was a kid. Ben, I don't know what he thinks, because he was old enough during the divorce to be scared of saying the wrong thing and sending me into a full-blown temper tantrum.

...I'm sorry, this is probably far too much information. I-- shit, I shouldn't even be online right now, it's only going to lead to bad things.

I used to like to blame it all on my ex too. Still do most days.

[zippyknowsbest]

Sometimes it's the easiest way to keep yourself together, if not exactly healthy.

[abbytude]

That, and he really is an asshole.

[zippyknowsbest]

Well, that always helps.

I don't see why you have to blame anyone. Sometimes, things fall apart, and if you fuck up on the way down, well, gravity already had you. Not everything gets to fly.

...I've just realized this is probably really patronizing. Ignore that bit.

I'm throwing a party! In December, on the solstice weekend! Not for religious reasons, just because it happened to coincide and I thought that was cool. Anyway, you should come, and invite everybody you know along too.

[zippyknowsbest]

Human nature to place blame. We'd no doubt be better people if we didn't. I dunno, maybe you're an evolved-enough species that you don't, in which case, more power to you.

I don't much feel like going to any parties right now, Mike. Thank you for the offer, though.

Technically, red hair is a mutation.

No worries. You're always welcome if'n you change your mind.

[zippyknowsbest]

You don't say.

Gotcha. Thanks, kiddo.

If another lunch and vent session would help, m'dear, you have only to say the word.

[zippyknowsbest]

I... thank you, Cait. I'll keep it mind. Right now I'm not fit company, but maybe tomorrow after I get off work.

[zippyknowsbest]

Maybe.

Mmmm. Thanks.
