  • Apathetic Freak Out (very odd/long vent)

    Or in which Lexia proceeds to eat her own tail to cope.
    Lets see where to begin. Come home from a week long drama filled trip to texas to see family and friends. Get daughter re-adjusted to home schedule only to have her shots come up. Thats not so bad. What follows is. Mom calls to tell me not three days home that step dad has been admitted to hospital for heart attack or as one friend told me myocardial infraction correct me if necessary.

    long drama behind that as my stepdad though I love him is a stubborn workaholic old man. grr. First thought oh crap I hope he is ok, second thought please dun let this push 9 months preg sis in law into labor. yeah nah its still all about her. More drama with her calling her mother - step dad's evil evil ex to rev things up some more. which is another story in which i will not relate here.

    SO the next day, about saturday I get the whole story from mom, and am informed that its a quadruple bypass and surgery will proceed monday afternoon or tuesday morning so that all the chemicals they gave him can come out and his numbers can come down heart can rest etc. Yeah today ex wife visited which i wish stepdad had told to go the eff away because she just yells at everyone. I'm back home and can do nothing about this being 8 hours away in lousiana as this is in texas.

    mom sends me a text today around 6/7pm saying surgery starts tomorrow at 11am. good yet bad.

    meanwhile through all this mom has had lathroscopic surgery the previous monday and healing from that and this has made it worse for her in that her incisions have bruised and she HAS to stay home. she is spent, done, wants to care but cannot. no more drama. Step sister is just revving things up for all and I want to slap her but dare not as its not worth it. and me, not knowing how to deal as I KNOW there is nothing I can do, step dad is in good hands with the dr he has etc I just cannot deal.
    SO in an effort to attempt to deal with this I bury myself in chores and giving attention to daughter until exhaustion....talking to friends in between and researching surgery procedures out of morbid curiosity as one of my uncles on my evil dad's side had heart surgery done.

    thus why Lexia proceeds to eat her own tail as one would with a vacuum getting its cord caught up in the suction and wound up.

    I have tried to take to heart my friends telling me its ok he will be ok etc....its just a blow to me that this 6'3 tall dude that was so strong and awesome and were it not for him i would have lost many cars (only lost two) and would be clueless when it comes to things...am now faced with just how bad in shape he really is....

    oh yeah lets throw that stepdad smoked since...ever. yeah surprised he doesn't have emphysema by now.

    (for the record I know what will mostly happen with the surgery and that he will be ordered to stop smoking.)

    PM for details if you want cause let me tell you if it was this long of a post then the drama alone is...more.

    sorry for length just...frantic

            It's so hard to be just far enough away that it's not feasible to pop over and help your family, and you have no one that you can safely rely on nearby them.

            Glad the surgery is over though.
            Make a list of important things to do today.
            At the top of your list, put 'eat chocolate'
            Now, you'll get at least one thing done today

                things are going ok. the breathing tube was removed monday night, and he is cautiously moving forward on recovery. i'm over here sh*tting bricks out of paranoia as i know my stepfather pushes himself too hard sometimes.

                  step dad was released but now mom is back in the hospital. I just about had it. I ask for help around the house and the reaction was less that...helpful.
                  Stepdad is doing ok, at home on bedrest and just taking it easy. Mom had to go back in from infection after lathroscopic surgery from running around trying to help stepdad it aggravated the incisions and made it worse so....it sounds bad enough that mom didn't want stepdad in there so his incision doesn't get infected. and its been 6 hours if not more since she's been admitted....

                  I had a very angry very miserable meltdown I feel like I'm not allowed to not do laundry and clean up and care for my child. (I have no problem bending over backward for my daughter ever, she will always get what she NEEDS and sometimes what she wants) But thats just it, she has become MY child, not ours. He hardly gives her attention unless she is crying or he happens to be in the room. And i don't bother making him. And yeah I even feel i have no right to be angry its just shut up and get back to work stop being miserable. And its not fair. I cannot be strong for me, my daughter my stepdad and mom and keep this up. I have buried myself in chores by choice and no one has stopped me or helped me.


                  I'm done, I quit, people want me to do for them, no. kiss my *** its not happening. If you are literally not a crying baby that I GAVE BIRTH TO, then piss off. The worst part I cannot get ahold of my mother or stepdad for any updates....

                      Yep! You're not there, you can't do a thing about the situation. Worrying about it will only make you unhappy.
