Julian, you have come a long way
and you will be better than your
parents ever will be.
Threat??? Am I missing something?
I thought everything was contained.
If julian and Etienne are willing to take time and be patient with each other.
This could be a long term relationship. What the threat is they are both worried.
I can only hope they can get though it.
>The concept of love is supposed to be learned from a child’s parents.
That hits hard. Dad never physically struck anyone, but was such a yo-yo from the
VA switching out anti-psychotics there are very few memories of a person, instead of
avoiding whatever was that day’s brand of crazy yelling. Mom tried, but never
reconciled the shell that remained, with the loss of the man she married :{
I agree, I felt like hell jumping down my mother’s throat like
that but I told her I’m 24, She was 17 when she had my elder
sister, so she had NO right to complain or interfere. A mother’s
love should never bring fear or frustration, and that’s the only
love he’s ever known. C’mon you two, do the wonder-twins
thing and combine! It worked for me.
Good job Julian, I had the same conversation with mine. Etienne and
Julian remind me much of myself and Luckylady, we both were abused,
we both had some pretty heavy baggage, and we worked through it
all, together. In so many ways we fit like hand-n-glove. I see that in her
eyes and his behavior.
Uh-oh, not good, but I trust they will figure something out, we’ll know
more when we know what “it” is.
similar, but different.! you sound like my older brother i never had.
( “the names were changed to protect the innocent.” )
but mine was the sperm doner, mom bailed before she became a statistic.
and my L-lady had a predatory pedo, who was community pillar,
and could do no wrong (wasn’t caught till 30 years later.!)
Yeah we both had a lot of “fun” growing up, just the fact that we
still managed to have a life says a lot about our character. I’m
just glad she’s not suffering anymore and I just need to figure
out WTF to do now. I just hope the move, whenEVER it’s going
to happen, will be the change I need.
Well, this sux, I have tremors now, not as bad as my wife’s, but it’s getting
hard to use a spoon. My thumb jerks and twitches bad. Plus, that
Gawd-dammed water pill’s ugly side effect has reared it’s ugly head, I have
to start wearing f-ing a pad or change clothes when ever I need to go, I’m
leaking bad. This gettin’ ole is REALLY getting old.
Etienne needs to disappear before anyone sees her, collect herself
and repair her makeup. Otherwise she could spoil her whole
carefully constructed image. Which might be progress.
Wild stab in the dark, almost certainly wrong. We’ve been exposed
to beings who are/style themselves as/named themselves after the
old Norse gods. Suppose the Disruptors are in contact with/in thrall
to another group who do the same with the Jotunn or some such.
I’m sure her urge was to run over and hug him but that goes
against her persona so she dipped to fix herself. I’m sure in
time he’ll see her ugly cry. LL and I were together almost a
year before she opened up like that to me, it was an exhausting
day to calm her down, convince her it didn’t put me off, and
cheer her up. But, it did make her cling to me more, which felt
pretty damned good. I had serious nightmares while we were
starting out, once she knew why she’d help me through those
night terrors.
Give you idea of the change in her, just a couple of days
later I had pulled a double shift, I was covered in grease,
resin dust, and soot. She ran up, gave me a kiss and
pushed me into a shower while she fixed me something
to eat and a rare beer. After I came out to a cold one
and a sandwich she sat next to me and was rubbing my
bad leg until I finished. Then she cuddled up in my arm
and we slept there for hours, best day of my life. These
memories are the only thing keeping me alive…
Moment of Truth
Julian, you have come a long way
and you will be better than your
parents ever will be.

I can only hope they can get though it.
If her tears are for the way his life was like
then I think they are well on their way.
She’s not as cold as she likes to pretend.

Ouch! Another bruise on Mommy Dearest.
(P4)
Grief? Or relief?
Probably both.
Relief because he could finally say it.
Grief because he had to.
