Lately…
It’s been a bit crazy around Chez Chaos lately. November usually brings it’s own brand of Pandemonium, thanks on no small part to the holidaze and NaNoWriMo.
Lately? It has been even more so. Crazy, I mean.
We all have our personal demons to dance with, and I’m not going to judge another’s dancing partner.
However, when that partner has threatened bodily harm to relatives? Um, that’s when my stance as bystander changes into something a little more active, even if I’m no longer a real member of said family.
LOTM’s older, but certainly not wiser, sister has decided to return to her abusive husband. This is the bastard who threatened LOTM’s parents the first time he met them.
Yeah, he’s THAT good.
Anyway, this has her children all kinds of upset, and it hasn’t done the rest of the family much good, either. This guy is scary. He hates anyone who does not agree with him or follows his faith.
I do neither of those things, and that’s not even the worst thing about me, in his eyes.
The good news is, he does not know where I live, which means my nephew can come stay with me if things get ugly at his place. Even if the SOB does learn where I live, unlike some members of the family, I am not one to just “let things be” and “avoid conflict” by ignoring shit like this.
If he shows up, I will not hesitate to push him off my front stoop and call him names. I will not be afraid to cast aspersions on his parentage, species, or insinuate that he has unsavory sexual encounters with his maternal parent. I will not be afraid to have a restraining order put out on him, nor will I let the damn thing lapse.
Ever.
And, if that idiot sister of LOTM’s asks for any help from me or my offspring when it comes time to move her filthy SOB into MY Fair City, I will not hesitate to let her know, in no uncertain terms, exactly what I think of her decision.
Pagans are supposed to be calm, cool, collected, and willing to just let things happen, right?
Not. This. Pagan. That “let it happen” stuff stops the minute anyone in my family is threatened.
I have a feeling the characters in my NaNoWriMo project are going to get down and dirty with some villain, and said villain is going to end up crying like a baby
WHEN HE GOES SEARCHING FOR HIS BALLS… IN MY FRONT YARD.

You scare me.
In an awesome kind of way.
She can be
Right on. You are my new hero, especially if you are still getting a decent word count in NaNo... which reminds me I need to check that. Oh and write...
You scare me too. But it is very frustrating watching people hammer their heads agains the wall.
Off topic- I am very scared and feeling damn guilty for my delay in getting your WIP back to you. Sorry -suddenly a pile of things I didn't think were going to happen suddenly did. I want to try and set next week aside only for completeing my promise to you. Sorry. :(
I am sad to say I know what this feels like. Several abusers of family and friends of mine and I have come to blows. It is just as well we have such strict gun control laws in Australia because with one certain abuser I would be hard pressed not to get me a big ole shotgun and shoot the b*tch in the back as he runs away. I am only partly joking.
It's hard, Karen. I hope it all works out. Why can't some men just wake up to themselves?
