The Yo-Yo Game

Going about my perfectly imperfect path in life, I still try to hold out hope that Bozo and I can come to an understanding. It never takes him long to demonstrate to me that such hope is futile.

It has become crystal clear to me that Bozo is a misogynist. He hates women (tho he denies it when questioned) and blames them (starting with his mother) for everything that has not gone well in his life. I'd be more inclined to loathe his soft spoken seemingly mild mannered father for the bulk of Bozo's problems. Without "Pa's" inappropriate, ceaseless enabling and rescuing, Bozo would have long ago learned how to stand on his own two feet and clean up his mistakes with his women as he makes them. Of course, the payoff is greater for "Pa" if he keeps Bozo under his wing forever after. Fine if they'd call that spade a spade, but instead it's the fault of all the women in their life that they're in the boat they row. Right.

In the past week, I've been wondering what it is and why I keep subjecting myself to this passive aggressive hatefulness. Bozo's actions continually say that I or our relationship are last on his long list of priorities, though he's happy to use me as an escape from his parents and piece of ass whenever circumstances allow. Otherwise, Baby Huey serves him just fine alternating between roles as his substitute spouse and parent. Most recently it has come to my attention that Baby Huey doesn't know why they no longer live here and probably thinks it's because women are or I am moody and evil rather than his father's putting substance abuse ahead of our safety and well being. I had simply asked Bozo if BH knew that it was not his fault that they don't live here any longer. I got more feedback than I wanted.

I haven't put enough space between me and Bozo yet and the time is at hand. Thankfully, I have a busy out of town work schedule for the next week or two. I have a sticky situation to navigate as far as a gift coupon for an activity that I purchased for BH last summer, long before they moved out. It has to be used on Nov. 5th. They won't be able to use it without my engagement. Not sure what to do about that. BH already thinks I'm evil and moody, what's one more mark of evidence? OTOH, I guess it's possible to limit interaction to the event and travel time to and from. Then I can and will be done with BH for good.

Go rent and watch EAT PRAY LOVE...now! I was feeling so down and I tell you, it made me wake up! It brought up my spirit and I am forever thankful.

The fact that Bozo was raised as a JW makes him misogynistic by nature. Ask me how I know this. . .
