The little things that piss you off

[elevenism]

@marodi , @allegro has been telling us to leave for YEARS. And, yes, my mom is a VERY toxic person.
Unfortunately, we can't leave right NOW: we'd have to save up enough money (again). I'm also beholden to this county for god knows HOW long- I'm still waiting on a first court date for the DWI I got 8 months ago...hell, I'm still waiting to hear what my BAC was! And then they'll likely put me on some YEARS of probation, when the hammer finally falls.

As far as the toxicity, one of the STRANGEST games she plays is talking shit about my wife to ME, to hurt ME, but mostly being exceptionally sweet to my wife herself.

She also calls us on the phone from inside the house, constantly...I'm talking 8-10 times a day, (it's a big house, but DAMN), with NO regard for whether we're asleep or, anything, really.

My wife has taken to like, completely avoiding her, if at all possible

Edit: thanks, @Wolfkiller . And hell yes: From the River. It IS a banger, and the song along with the vid are ALSO a good, concise history lesson. I'm also not here, much, anymore, but it's due to social isolation, and I'm scheming on coming back. I hope you're well, brother.
