My stress level is a bit high today because I am concerned about my mom and what is going down today. Since I don’t have a car right now, my brother and his wife are moving my mom out of her house on the down low because she’s going through a divorce and my dad does not know just yet. They’re rushing to get mom out before my dad gets back from food shopping. They’re going to finally break the news of the divorce either this afternoon or this evening. At least my dad can’t hurt her.
Part of me is taking some schadenfreude from this divorce. My father has caused me a lot of trauma so I hope he suffers from this. I hope that it is a real punch in the gut! And I expect it will be too.
In other news, I am slowly adjusting to my new living situation. Unfortunately, I cannot stand one of my housemates because he triggers my symptoms of autism. He’s very loud and constantly slams doors so I am always being startled. He suffers from schizo-affective disorder and I am sympathetic to him, however I’ve asked him nicely to stop slamming the doors and he does not do it. Finally, I just asked him to leave me alone today because I am stressed. I guess it was kind of mean but being nice has been exhausted.
I am glad my friends on Mastodon encouraged me to ignore the hater that sent me a really nasty direct message criticizing my blog. The message made me feel really small and sad. Normally I can let stuff like this roll off of my back like water to a duck but something about this really hit me hard; don’t really know why. Oh well, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more when I know how mom’s move went.
