DH gets so angry so fast

Shieldmaiden's picture

I've mentioned before, my DH has manic bipolar, and has trouble with his anger when his meds aren't working or he isn't sleeping well. 

Yesterday I was watching my show on TV. I only get to do this on my day off when he isn't home, because he doesn't often like the same shows I do. We compromise on what we watch together most days. However, he likes to think of himself as the couch commando and keeps the remote out of my reach unless I demand it. 

O/T Beanie boy quit!

Hey all,

I came back from the weekend to a great surprise this week. Beanie boy, the millennial boy wonder - is leaving our department. He decided a desk job was too much for his ADHD, so he is off to another job where he can chase squirrels and marvel over shiny objects. Yay! No longer will I have to step over his body on the floor, while he naps or plays with legos or wails about his lot in life as he eats slop from the taco truck that will end up stinking up our trash can.

SD21 wants to breed

Since my DH couldn't take time off for vacation this year, I took some time off to use my vacay days before I lose them. I just relaxed, slept in, gardened, and it was awesome! Then DH told me the SD's let it slip that BM and her new boy toy are taking all the SD"s to Hawaii on vacation. Ugh. How can she afford this when we can't? I swear she has some insurance fraud racket going on. The chick is so crooked. Yeah, go ahead and reward the little juvenile delinquents while the rest of us work.

SD19 refused to leave her room

I posted quite a bit about sulky (likely bipolar) SD19. For years, she has been getting slowly worse. She avoids any new challenges, such as learning to drive, getting a job, and making new friends. After thanksgiving 2022 she stopped visiting us, which was a relief. She now lives full time at BM's, and DH calls her to say hi every evening, and check in with her. 

BM weaponizes her daughter

SD19 has been estranged from DH for 3 months. SD21 stirred the shit pot during the holidays, so SD19 took her side and rarely speaks a word to us. (SD21 wanted to come to Thanksgiving at our house, so she accused me of child abuse when she was 15. Mind you, this kid has been 200lbs and over since she was 12, and she was the one who raised her fist to me. I walked away.)

Just kind of funny - from a distance

I have 3 SD's, ages 21, 19, and 17. The oldest lives with her boyfriend, in an apartment. The other two live with BM. SD19 is holding a grudge since the Thanksgiving blowout with me and SD17. Ironically, SD 17 (who was the instigator) has moved on and comes to visit every other weekend for dinner. She seems to have learned a valuable lesson from it all. SD19 though, still doesn't have her drivers license, a job, nor is she working toward this. When Dh calls her she is short with him, and will actually say she has played video games all day and that is all she does.

O/T Eff off Friday

EFF OFF to Beanie Boy!!

Dear Ann Landers:

I am dealing with a new coworker who I've talked about before here. I call him "the bro" or "beanie boy." He wears one of those little floppy knit condoms on his head every day, and comes in yawning because he played video games until 3 am. (He is a father of a 5 year old girl, by the way.)

Lets not take them on a cruise while they still hate us.

Ugh. So DH and I have been kicking the idea around of taking a cruise to the Caribbean together.

We haven't taken a vacation in 2 years due to buying the house, so I was excited....until he gave me a dollar figure. It was way too high to be for just the two of us, although the skids almost never come over anymore. I asked why it was so expensive for just the two of us? He said 
"Oh, well I thought SD 16 could come....and maybe SD19?
