My Dearest, Darling, Chris,

Yes, I do realize it's 2am. No, I will not be turning off my computer and going to sleep.

You declined my offer to roll your happy ass into the living room, which I felt was a perfectly reasonable comprimise. "You make me sell my horse, I get complete and total dominion over the matress." Seemed fair enough to me.

The complaint department is closed, please try again during normal business hours.

With Love, and Much Passive Aggressiveness,
The Wife


No. I wouldn't actually say any of this to my husband, but I sold the last remaining piece of the dream I've worked my whole life for today and I am just DONE with all of it today...

000 Feel free to add your own letters if you feel the need to vent. 000

Which one of you had to sell your horse is not quite clear, but shame, SHAME on you for giving up that animal....

[RZ94]

Dear Ex-wife,

I hope yer doin' good (just don't tell me) if yer not ok.....don't tell me that niether.

Have a merry Christmas (or not, it's up tp you and i don't want to hear 'bout that niether)

I'm doin' real good.

I'm gonna have me some Pabst today and don't know if I'll stop at 15 or if I'll even count. (Does that bother you? Really don't tell me either way eh?)

I also will finish that mean clown paintin' I started 2 years ago (Don't care if you still hate it, I wooldn't know 'cause I won't listen....it be goin above the sink just like i planned).

Any way, have fun or not (again just don't tell me)


With zero remorse and no hard feelin's, sincerely,

The Petitioner.

I had to sell my horse, between trying to run my business and taking care of Chris he wasn't getting worked much. Chris and his mother
(the wicked witch of the south) made a fuss about me keeping him when I could get so much for him as a barrel horse.

I had decided to just brush them off, but The Monster-in-Law told her friend, B, that I needed to sell my barrel horse and the next day B was here with her trailer and a blank check.

So now my horse is gone.

I hate my mother-in-law and I'm so anrgy with my husband for not standing up for me.(Ba-dum, tish.)

Now I have to start cleaning and cooking, because the spawn of satan, her demonic poodle, and Lurch, her husband are going to be here all weekend to celebrate their assasination of all my hopes and dreams. I mean... Christmas.

I'm very sorry to hear that, I can imagine how hard it was to have to do....

If you need to vent anymore, I'm a good listener....

wow Wife,

I am so so sorry that you had to sell your horse. There is no way that I would have done it unless I really needed the money. I do understand that the horse wasn't getting the attention it needed, I just wish you were able to make time for yourself away from the job and husband and ride him.

Your business and husband are very important but please don't forget that you are equally important. Make some time for yourself, read a good book, get pampered, anything that you enjoy and away from everyone. The job will be there and so will the husband. I am speaking from personal experience, at one time I let my husbands and daughters needs consume me. I kept my house clean, all of my husbands needs were met and my daughter was getting spoiled. Once I started going to the gym (it has a sauna!!) I started feeling so much better like it was a treat for myself.......and I am getting thinner!! My house isn't as clean, but my daughter and husband are just fine and I still have my sanity!!!!!

If you need to vent, I am almost always here......unless I am at the gym!!! lol

Words of Wisdom!!! Taking care of yourself is as important as anything else you might do.

Sounds like a good opportunity to do a little assassinating yourself. Ground glass, anyone?

The wife

Made you sell an animal you loved? Sounds like he has you wait on him hand and foot and he's T6 level?? Should be quite capable of looking after himself (I know everyone is different, but generally that is the case). I know your posts are obviously made with a fair bit of tounge in cheek, but if overall the feelings are genuine, than I would take his first line and run with it, "Dear ex-wife". Mightn't be so funny in reality. Again, if the two of you are just having some sarcastic banter, please ignore all of the above.

[The Wife]

Chris can't take care of himself at all. He had a stroke last year and is now completely paralyzed with minimal hand movement. The doctors say that as serious as his stroke was we're lucky he can even verbalize.

[kathy.k]

If you don't have a caregiver I would find one even if it is for a few hours a day. Get some time for yourself.......you need it and deserve it.

[The Wife]

We have two, who come for, normally, about three hours a day on alternating days. But, when they're here I have to use that time to get work outside done, such as hauling feed, doing repairs, etc. that I can't do with Chris in tow.

My heart goes out to you. I have had to give up dreams as well and it sucks the life out of you if you let it. Don't let it.

Just remember that what is going on is just for now.

There will be another time for you, really. Remember your know-how, save your dream and down the road you will have another chance.
Recognize it when it comes and be ready to grab on with both hands. (I am)
