The Solar Flare Is Messing With My Electromagnetic Aura

Aren’t your fillings aching? Mine are. Then again, it could be TMJ. Seems much more romantic to be a by-product of a massive explosion of radiation millions of miles away.

I’m happy to report that Jeff and Danlel (Nate’s older sister), have mended their ways and are rebuilding their relationship. They went to counseling today and talked about their issues with a counselor present. I haven’t blogged about it much because its an issue with which I can see both sides and frankly, Jeff has been wearing me out with it. So much so, I haven’t had the energy to blog about it.

Regardless of how poorly I have spoken of him here, I also hope I’ve given the impression that when he’s sober he’s a damn fine father. He has his issues and I’ve not held back from my position, once again, in the middle of this fiasco, as to my opinion of his drinking alcohol while taking prescription medication. In that regard, I firmly took his daughter’s side that he can be a scary freak. In another regard I firmly took his side that, really peeps, if he did it ALL THE TIME, Nate wouldn’t be with him as much as he is. When he gets on a good one, he gets on a good one and I didn’t hold back about letting him know how I felt.

Actually, I yelled quite a bit at him and was brutally honest, in both directions. Good and bad. Honestly though, I have probably never felt more sorry for an individual in my life as I have him in the past three months. If I didn’t know that Danlel’s mother has had her hateful hand in all of this and pushes the negative, I wouldn’t have had as much sympathy. Again, I can see both sides and two innocent kids caught in the middle.

For his part, I think Jeff has had a lot of self-realization going on and I’ve counseled him to point of nausea and hatefulness to just fucking admit where you’re wrong and get on with it. Tonight he told me that he now realizes (let’s all cross our fingers) how detrimental his drinking is to his health and his relationships with the people around him, especially the most important people, his children. This has been extremely difficult on everyone involved but especially Jeff, Danlel, and Nate. The rest of us have orbited this situation, at times being sucked in, but mainly, not able to do much other than listen and counsel as needed or as I feel was needed.

In other words, opening my mouth and letting the truth out.

If anyone would care to have my brutally honest opinion about their problems, please feel free to contact me. I’m in the mood and the Force is strong with this one. I have to shed electricity somewhere. I’m gonna go shit some aurora borealis now. And remember, Thursday are always my most psychic days. Ta-ta.
