But I think I know what she really needs the most above everything else, and that's support, both emotional and financial. It's not easy to be independent when you have no where to turn, because you are alone, or broke, etc. Should we adopt her?Harmonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464203611561630430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-1169736085823969022007-01-25T09:41:00.000-05:002007-01-25T09:41:00.000-05:00A 12-step group for co-dependents wouldn't go amis...A 12-step group for co-dependents wouldn't go amiss, either....coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849975141730668288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-1169699261706984252007-01-24T23:27:00.000-05:002007-01-24T23:27:00.000-05:00And anger is only the second stage of grief.

However, it's difficult to metablog about someone who doesn't quite present the same depth of intimacy that we got from Musie. Not that you're not trying, Aggie, but lets face it: you're not quite <I>out-there</I> enough for us. But all is not lost. Where Aggie doesn't quite make up for in intimacy, I think she more than covers when it comes to giving advice. So we should leverage this element. Speaking of <I>out-there</I> and intimacy, I will begin with a call for advice from Great Dame Aggie regarding a matter of urgent importance.<BR/><BR/>Aggie,<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine passed on a troubling correspondence she received from an old acquaintance who is in a very bad state of affairs. It seems her marriage is so badly on the rocks that she felt compelled to write a letter to her spouse outlining her issues. However, before actually handing over said note to her hubby, she forwarded it my friend for some sage advice. The letter reads as follows:<BR/><BR/><I>Dear UnAppreciative Son of a Bitch:<BR/><BR/>1. Stop calling me a c*nt in front of your daughter.<BR/>2. Pay me back the $200+ each month since June I've spent buying you beer.<BR/>3. F*ck off.<BR/>4. F*ck off.<BR/>5. F*ck off.<BR/>6. Hire an accountant since you can't seem to add up what i spend.<BR/>7. F*ck off.<BR/>8. Keep it up. You have a real penchant for not knowing what you have 'til it's gone. Self-control, relationships, jobs, friends, "wife", health, even your f*cking mistress. You pushed me out long ago. If you want the full split, keep it up. You're getting there, baby.<BR/>9. You quit your f*cking job, a**hole. We were hanging on by a prayer as it was. We have nothing for now or the future or for us or our daughter.<BR/>10. F*ck off.<BR/>11. Grow up.<BR/>12 Go to hell.<BR/>13. You're a writer. Talk about a guy who acts just like you. It'll be a mystery. How the hell he held on to his wife so long...But everyone will be able to predict the ending. So forget it.<BR/>14. Get a job. Because if you push me one more f*cking micrometer you'll be talking to a judge and he'll laugh at you. And while you're at it, thank your lucky stars I am not doing that -- kicking you while you're down.<BR/>15. Get real.<BR/>16. F*ck off.<BR/>17. Go to Hell.<BR/>18. Go yell somewhere else.<BR/>19. Enjoy your new sobriety.<BR/>20. F*ck off.<BR/>21. Go ahead. Get mad. I've lost any hope you'll actually fix anything.</I><BR/><BR/>As you can see, Dame Aggie, a very troubling letter. Other than seeing some redundant clauses in her list, I can't seem to fathom any advice for this soul. What do you suggest?The Chairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387541823615897552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-1169671854074378642007-01-24T15:50:00.000-05:002007-01-24T15:50:00.000-05:00There's also MetaBloggie, and MetaBloAggie, for ti...There's also MetaBloggie, and MetaBloAggie, for times when one feels a little, well, bloated.
