It&#8217;s been 6 months since we spoke to the Boy last. I thought we&#8217;d turned a corner on dealing with this long ago, but it turns out it&#8217;s more like the time Homer Simpson thought he&#8217;d climbed Mount Springfield only to discover that Mount Springfield is really 1,000 times higher than he&#8217;d thought.<\/p>\n<p>Q: So what are you going to do?<\/p>\n<p>A: It&#8217;s probably safer if I don&#8217;t say. I don&#8217;t really know anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Happy Early Birthday<\/p>\n<p>A: Ugh, thanks. If next weekend sucks as bad as THIS weekend&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Q: So, ya ever plan to piss or get off the pot, Plan B wise?<\/p>\n<p>A: I am off the pot, actually. I am so far off the pot I am in a totally different room now. I may start taking something to make sure I never, ever want to pee again.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Do you think you can go further with this baby\/bathroom analogy?<\/p>\n<p>A: I hope not.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Did you always know you were a big huge drama queen?<\/p>\n<p>A: No. This is a new(ish) discovery. My self absorption knows no limits. And let me tell you how much my husband LOVES it when my reaction to his sorrow is &#8220;ME ME ME&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Reading anything new?<\/p>\n<p>A: Nope, I went to the library and the Barnes &amp; Noble today but no one has written a book called &#8220;Hitting your head against a wall until it feels good: When your husband&#8217;s bitch ex-wife alienates his own child against him&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Maybe you can write it?<\/p>\n<p>A: Maybe, but maybe not. It would probably win a prize for &#8220;Most Creative Cursing in a Self-Help Book&#8221;, so maybe I&#8217;d get a medal or a cash prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: So how&#8217;s it going?
