Here we are
Well, my dad is in jail and I probably should be able to muster a feeling other than numb inside, but aside from a flash of guilt that there isn’t anything I can do right now and a lot of empathy for my mom, that’s all I’ve got.
I’m home solo with Louise for seven more sleeps and she is extra defiant the last two days so I don’t feel like I have much space to process any of this. I’m just checking on mom a lot.
He’s charged with aggravated assault and intimidating a witness for being belligerently drunk last night and threatening himself and mom with a gun. Mom had the guns removed from the house which is a start and since he’s in jail until someone posts bail and she is the victim so she was told she basically can’t post bail this is just a holding pattern. It’ll get figured out I guess.
I wish I were better at compartmentalizing my frustrations around Louise but also feel like I’m compartmentalizing all of these feelings too much.
