DAY 39: december 25, 2009

this is our famous tumbleweed christmas tree in downtown chandler! it's right across the parking lot from the pilates studio i instruct at hehe.

happy holidays everyone!

so today started off great...
i woke up in my husbands arms, literally. always amazing. then spoke to meghan and her wonderful family on the phone, got a cute x-mas card from meg as well! it was shaping up into a wonderful day, considering everything....

then the phone rings... it's my mom. troy debated on telling me tomorrow so it wouldn't ruin my day, but being me i wouldn't be satisfied until i learned the truth anyway, so he just cut the chase and told me. after 3-4 months of nothing she calls. she moved last month and didn't even tell us where. so as you can imagine this hit me like a ton of bricks. i felt like i was about to lose my breakfast, breakdown in tears on the floor, or just punch a wall all at the same time. it was horrible! why couldn't she have called tomorrow, why today? with all that we are dealing with you have to ruin this day for me as well!

here's the kicker.... she tries tossing the blame back on me in her phone message! saying that i never called her, blah, blah, blah... when the last time i spoke to her, if it wasn't about her and her fabulous new home she didn't want to hear it, even though i had some pretty heavy stuff to tell, which i did regardless... well until "someone came to the door" and she said she would call me soon. i guess in the huge scale of things 3-4 months is soon LOL.

here's my thing, if you want to be in my life/have me in yours then act like it! don't keep messing with me... when all is fine and dandy, she's all about me in her life... but when life gets really hard for me she bolts. not only does she bolt, but she uses us, then moves into a new home and doesn't even tell us where!

we could be living on the street, been in the hospital, etc. and she wouldn't have a freaking clue!!! if she really cares then she needs to friggen act like it! ARRRG! (sorry.)

troy thinks the guilt got to her. but i wouldn't be surprised if she had some ulterior motive.

it's like she knew i was finally beginning to heal all those wounds and decided to rip them all back open.

well needless to say i didn't call her back. i am hesitant to, all she will do is throw it back on me like it's all my fault and if i call her on her stuff she will just change the subject and not learn a thing. i swear i would have better luck getting through to a log.

i really don't know what to do. i wish i was either strong enough to just call her out on everything, and i mean everything. or just cut her out of my life completely. but i'm not. some messed up part of me wants to have a mom soooooo bad. i swear i must like pain or something, either that or i am just a hopeless fool.

anyway, to sum it all up, my christmas was a roller coaster of emotions.

oh, and then we had to go to his parents house, which i was NOT in the mood for. his younger sister literally tells you what you are thinking, feeling, etc. which is tough enough to take on a good day LOL. so i just ate dinner and bit my tongue. LOL. she's a know it all that still lives at home and has never been on her own ever, and she's like 31. whereas i have been on my own since 19 and had been working since 15 so yeah, it can be frustrating LOL. she even got on troy's nerves pretty bad tonight, and that's saying something LOL.

well enough of my complaining. i hope everyone else had a much better holiday.

thank you all for your love and support! i love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Hey Darlin'....
    I FINALLY bookmarked your blog and will go back and read your other entries a little later.

    I don't know what to say about your mom. To move without telling her daughter is petty & inexcusable. You say that your mom claims to be a Christian??? Doesn't sound like she has a relationship with Jesus to me. I dunno....

    Did she leave her address? Perhaps you could write her a letter letting it all rip out from your heart. Tell her what you feel, and what you're hurting about. Do it in letter form, so she can't make comebacks. Perhaps she will get it, then.

    I'm so glad I got to talk to you yesterday. You are a sweet girl and I'm so glad that you have Troy to lean upon. You can lean on me too, ya know.

    Try not to let your mom ruin everything in your life. Try giving it to Jesus, talk to Him about it, and then let it go.

    Loving you right now...

    Deb, aka "Mom"

  5. thanks mom! <3
    no she's not a christian, i wish she was. =( she is now a jehovah's witness. =( she was born a catholic, then converted to judaism when she married my dad, but tossed that out the window the day the divorce was final, and then slowly over the years my aunt has pushed that stupid cult on us, both my mom and sister fell into it. but from the get go that cult rubbed me the wrong way and felt bad and wrong, soooo wrong!
    no she didn't leave her address, LOL. even if i wanted to i have no way of looking her up. she's totally off the map and has been that way since her 2nd husband (not my father some psychopath) tried to kill us. so that ball is completely in her court. =/

    i am sooo glad i finally got to talk to you yesterday too, speaking with you and meg was one of the highlights of the day, the other was cuddling in bed in troy's arms. <3

    i love you mom and you have no idea how much your words and love are helping me.

    and i am very blessed to have you and your family in my life (and yes, i am sooo blessed to have troy, i love him more than he will ever know!)

    i love you!!!!

    p.s. i commented on your blog post! =D
