arguments
why is it that whenever my parents argue, i'm the one who gets stuck in the middle?
yesterday was a bad day, up until then the weekend had been going ok, but yesterday, well have a look and see for yourselves.
sunday lunch, everything's ok, pretty normal to be honest, after lunch i head upstairs to mess about online for a while and stuff like that while my folks get themselves organised to go and visit my nan.
dad let's the dog into the front room (he's only allowed in there if someone's with him as he can be a bugger at times) to wait for me as i was looking after him for the afternoon. this starts off an agrument with my mum, as she said the dog should wait in the kitchen, in his bed, like he normally does. lots of swearing and shouting ensues, the end result being mum heading off to nan's on her own, on the train. it's raining and we live 30 minutes walk from the station, and my nan lives further than that the other end.
andway, i head off out at about 4 to get my wages from the pub, have a drink and see the lady. told her all about what had gone on earlier in the afternoon. left the pub at 6 and headed home. spoke to dad, suggested that maybe he should call mum, find out where she is and offer to pick her up. another argument ensues, this time between me and him. at some point i told him that i thought the pair of them were acting like children and that they should both grow up, slammed the door and headed off upstairs, more shouting followed, with me getting the last words in "well maybe i should just fuck off, then you'll be on your own you miserable bastard" or words to that effect. i headed upstairs again, packed a bag very quickly and called my bro to see if i could use his flat for a few days until things calm down. so that's where i am, in a flat with no food, very few clothes, no other belongings, nothing.
last night i went back to the pub for my dinner, probably end up doing the same tonight, not sure yet, then went back to the flat, ran a bath and chilled for a while. mum called to find out where i was and ask me to come home so that we could gang up on him and i said no, and that i wasn't interested anymore, i wasn't going to get involved and i'd be home when i was ready and things had calmed down.
the plan is to stay out of it again tonight, pop round tomorrow night and see if things have calmed down any and if not then i'll be picking up some more things and heading back to the flat...so we'll see
until then though, only have access to the net via work and i'm trying to work out what i'm going to do if things haven't calmed down...
take care
