Well.....
 
I just got a text from my BF and he's checked himself into an interim mental health facility and is waiting to get into rehab asap. I had a feeling he was in trouble tonight when I didn't hear from him at all after I got home from work.

I'm glad he's safe and made the effort to reach out instead of disappearing and getting drunk, but I feel angry and sad and just wish things were different. I'm okay. Relieved and looking forward to my alone time for the next month or so. I am kind of bummed as I have a bunch of time off work and we were going to do all sorts of fun things, museums, snow tubing, etc......I guess I'll do some of that stuff with friends and get my ass to work on my writing.

Merry fricking Christmas.

I'm sorry Reader. I'm sure that's not the Christmas gift you were looking for.

Maybe time to spoil YOU?

I hope you manage to find some fun and holiday cheer just the same.

I will. I have wonderful family and friends and am so grateful for that. Thank you for your kind words.

dunno. Have not yet found it not to be true . . . .

"Everything is where it should be right now."

Extra time for you to work on you more better, maybe?

Dunno.

Best to you.

You won't have him there for Christmas because of rehab, but if he were sloshed over the holiday, you still wouldn't really have him there. I think I would look at this as a gift he's giving himself, and one that benefits you as well. It's all a matter of perspective. Try to enjoy the time with family.
