like mary said...no more drama.

today joanne called me crying so hard i couldn't even understand what she was saying. she's my high school friend that i had a falling out with a couple years ago. we've become friends again. not friends in the sense that we call each other up every day and go out on the weekends, but i feel comfortable calling her at any time, and i think the same is true on her end.

anyhow, she's been married to the same asshole she was with in high school for about 5 years now. i hated him in high school and i hate him now. major dramas of the jerry springer kind. for an example, once when we were in high school (i went to an all girls catholic school) we used to cut school alot. one day we cut a school assembly and went to joanne's now-husband-then-boyfriend's house to hang out. when it came time for us to leave so we could make it for homeroom, he got so angry he chased after the car we were in, jumped through the passenger window and tried to stab joanne (who was sitting in the backseat with me) with a screwdriver. my friend ang tried to bite his arm and my other friend slammed on the gas while half his body was still in the car. he fell and we sped off.

and thats just the tip of the iceberg. he's cheated on her so many times i've lost track and the reason for our falling out, i'm sorry to say, was him. so now she has two kids with him and she recently found out that he's cheating yet again. she has gathered just enough strength to pack her things along with her kids and move back to her parents house.

she's left him several times and each time she's gone back. i used to get so caught up before. i'd try to be there for her but it just fuckin pissed me off every time she went back. just watching her throw everything away for this asshole. i just could not understand.

so now she's leaving him again. she knows what she needs to do and she's scared. she doesn't think she can do it. she feels weak. and what can i do but tell her that she can do it and its the best thing to do for her and her kids and the all-time worst break-up cliché: it takes time. i know it sounds stupid when you're talking to someone whose in so much pain but its the truth. hell yeah its gonna be hard but you gotta push through. one day at a time.

i don't know if it worked. she's in that stage where she just doesn't want to hear the truth. cause the truth's a bitch. i'm praying to god that this is the last time. i mean, i am literally saying a prayer. and i'm not even religous.

guys like that should just be put out of their fucking misery.
