Gaslighting

Last edited Sat Feb 8, 2025, 02:49 PM - Edit history (1)

He must be nervous. He started out muttering angrily as i woke up.

He comes out and tells me he's calm but he was screaming bc i called him out and then asked him to go to the store an hr later. Total bs. I asked him at 830am abt the tv and 330pm if he wanted to come to the store w me. I didn't respond. Really getting to the point the pension isn't worth it.

If he didn't want to go to the store he could have calmly said I'm in pain can't go. ETA popped a benzo under my tongue at Publix. Fighting in the store. Left eye starts twitching. Hes telling me he needs surgery for his back. Him droning on abt elon musk speech patterns.

My health and sanity r more imp than money

Being w this pos since 96. Basically i could ignore him when i worked and had a life. He basically slept and was on ssdi since the mid 90s.

He even told me all he has is the money power. He glommed onto me when my mother was dying and i was stupid and vulnerable. Ppl warned me. I'm embarrassed. But I'm beyond sick of him. Now he can't walk and expects me to hold him up. Idc if he falls. I hate u
