The not happy thread

I am unhappy (or rather annoyed, I guess) because it's only 11 AM and I have to wait until 5 PM for any fun to start.

 

It's just gone five here

But that's a bad thing, as I have to do coursework soon.

 

I am disgusted by the Super Bowl. Although I loved the comic strip today that ended with "If humanity survives, we can thank whoever scheduled the Super Bowl before Valentines Day." The point being that all the males with whom females like me are disgusted have a chance to redeem themselves next week.

 

I'm aggravated because apparently it takes an idiot to escape a bad relationship where violence is involved or you are just plain unhappy. Yes people, being happy and away from domestic violence makes you an idiot. Apparently you should just lay down and take it >< BAH! People are so damn THICK IN THE HEAD it isn't funny!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

 

According to whom? Or should I say, according to what?

 

*sigh* my cousin's sisters. It is really aggravating me at the moment.

 

Yeah, I would be too. Was abuse a part of their upbringing? Generally, "normal" is defined by what we grew up with.

 

My computer is randomly having issues. I think a few programs were bypassed during start-up, but I can't restart because I'm downloading updates for it...ugh.

 

Bah! Colts lost. I know there is a Sports thread, but my reaction to the Saints winning felt more appropriate for The not happy thread.

 

No particular reason, I'm just in a mood. I hate it and I need to sleep but can't, it has been four days since I have had a really good night of sleep.

 

I need a change. I need a job. I need to be an age where I can get a job, instead of trying to pay for college at 17. I need a change in me personally, which isn't going to happen until I can get my money problems fixed.

Agh. Something in the labor laws changed so that people under 18 can't work certain times or numbers of hours, so now I can't even apply anywhere, let alone get an interview.

 

Torana, no offense, but your cousin's sister (wouldn't that make her just you cousin?) has some messed up logic. Unless there's a major mitigating factor, just being unhappy in a relationship is reason to end it. Let alone when violence is involved.

 

He has always been strict, but it has been the mental abuse she has coped and then her son was flung. I know of other things, the same as what I was getting in my old relationship. Like never being able to eat and worse things... It was far from normal!

Yes, she is messed in the head if you ask me. If someone can assault a child, surely any mother/father, would want nothing more than to bash the ****ters out of them!
(I stopped classing her family as family after all this because family is meant to stick together, not behave like this, but yes, the woman is a cousin.)

 

I'm in uni at ten to 8 on a morning, won't get out of here until 7 thanks to my screwed up timetable, haven't had breakfast thanks to my retard of a housemate drinking the last of the milk (yes, we get it, you like cereal - but not four bowls of the stuff a day) and not going out to get some fresh (as it's his run), and just to rub it in I've had four hours of sleep and have a thumping headache as though I've tried to head Halley's comet.

What a start to the day.

 

I'm sorry, Dante. I hope you smacked your housemate (I would have ), and hopefully you'll be feeling better soon.

 

If I'd bumped into him getting a clout would have been the least of his worries. I'm afraid you wouldn't like me if you saw me without having had a cup of tea in the morning. Now I've got a cup of tea D) and I'm a bit more chilled.

Still got a headache, mind, so people will still come across a grouchy, miserable git for the whole day.

 

My sister almost lost her little boy today and when I phoned the hospital to speak to her and find out if my nephew was alright, her partner told the staff to say she wasn't at the hospital. I hate that man with a passion and wish he would sod off back to Victoria. I hope he is going to be ok, he is on full oxygen and having a lot of breathing problems. I'm so worried. Mum is going through tomorrow, so will find out then I guess. (her partner doesn't like me and Dan)

 

^ That's ridiculous. Something as important as the life of a baby and possibly its mother shouldn't be put down to whether you like the person or not. I'm sorry you have to deal with this arsehole Tor.

 

Is this incident related to the one with your cousin? Perhaps I did not pay attention close enough, Tor - and while there are no easy answers - my suggestion is get the authorities involved. Big government usually means that the govt is just going to mess up big time - BUT- in cases of domestic harm through drugs, violence or mental cruelty - that govt are the best kind of impartiality that we have. Your cousin and aunt who are threatening to keep a child from their mother is horrible - and the only rationale way to deal that is through the police. And while there is NEVER a reason to throw a child five feet - or any other physical abuse - obviously there is a difference between discipline and abuse - and if "discipline" involves a young child and an adult who cannot control his anger - to me - that's gotta be abuse.

While there are weird families out there - it puzzles me beyond reason why the mother's own family would turn on their own and side with the husband??? That's so illogical it makes me wonder if you are getting the real story. Perhaps someone is trying to give you the impression the mother and sister are siding w. the husband - it's very unlikely that would happen. If you want to dig in - it might be a good idea to just call the mother and get the true story - and from there offer whatever help possible so that the child(ren) getting a reasonable chance for success, happiness and safety.

Good luck, Tor.

 

I have to agree with Doug. Getting the authorities involved might by a good idea. I'm sure some people would hate the idea of rating out a family member, but at least the child would be safer.

 

Tor, I know somewhat how you feel. My friend's kid that I watch, her mother is labeled with issues, won't take her medicine, and she's all but issuing death threats to the family because they will not let her have full custody of the girl. The father and grandmother finally stopped all visitation rights and are going to court. The situation is getting deadly, and it's so, so, stupid. If the grandmother/father don't win custody, I don't know what will happen.

I hope things get better - and that you can figure out what to do.

 

I think I had another spider bite me during the night. D:

 

I needed some info from my former employers for my unemployment application. So..I called yesterday. This morning I got a call saying that they can get me the information, but it isn't going to help me because they don't pay into unemployment and therefore I am not eligible to receive it. I am...so screwed... I want to cry...but it is stuck...I can't do it. I will probably lose it when Steve comes home for lunch and I have to tell him that there won't be any money coming in to help us until I can get a job. It took Steve 2 years. What will we do if it takes that long for me? I have never felt like this before...I can't even put words to it. But, I don't recommend this feeling to anyone else.

 

I am really, really good at putting my feet in my mouth. Both of them. Edgewise. You'd think I was a gymnast or something of the sort, I can do it so often.

 

Just read a very sad story from a blog a friend of mine wrote on WF. I'm not going to tell b/c it's personal to him, but it's very, very sad.
