Eat, Pray...Lousy

Really? First the whole world gets all wrapped up in Julia Robert's character in Pretty Woman back in the day, as a modern day fairy tale.....as a prostitute with a happy ending...huh??And now, she is playing another morally devoid character who breaks her husband's heart and takes off to "find herself." Of course the ending is "happy" as she commits to another man, and we are supposed to accept that as the fairy tale ending.

Helllooooo??? What about the broken hearted husband back in New York? And the trail of destruction she left in her wake....sounds pretty lousy to us.

Hang in there Jane

Not to play the victim card or anything, but Jane has my heartfelt sympathy. Before she met her Lousy, she owned her own house, was in good health, had a promising career that suited her skills, passion, and training, and her credit was close to stellar.

Jane just spent the weekend moving out of her foreclosed-on house, back in with her parents and her little girl. Her contract position with the city is about to end, and she has no credit since Lousy opened credit cards in her name, maxed them out and trashed her credit.

Talk about a tornado! Yeah, some people may think that those in our situations are just blathering on about something that has already happened, but it is just not the case. We are stuck picking up pieces of something that we did not break, did not want to break. And had Lousy just acted like a "grown-up" everyone could disentangle themselves from eachother with dignity and credit in tact.

Hang in there Jane,we're making lemonade!

Jane's Note

Ellen had a small victory this weekend, and I'm proud of her. 

Yesterday afternoon she attended an event at her child's school. She told Lousy that she would be there, knowing that he was taking the kids on 'his weekend'. True to his lousy reputation, not only did he bring his adultery partner, but her parents were with them as well. When her children ran into Ellen's arms, the parents realized who she was, and stopped to introduce themselves and shake her hand.

Ellen was with her friend Kelly, and after shaking Ellen's hand, the father turned to Kelly to shake hers and make a casual introduction. Before he could engage, Ellen turned to Kelly and said "this is the father of the girl my husband was having an affair with when I was pregnant - you don't have to shake his hand".

Me - I love it, Kelly was disgusted, and Ellen was outraged that they were even there. I hope that they were at least a little uncomfortable, but trash begets trash - so I'm not so sure they were even a little embarassed. Oh well.

Poor Choice...

I am sorry that you are offended by my website, but it pales in comparioson to the cruelty and manipulation that I have withstood at the hands of your lousy nephew. My website is a resource to help others, and has accomplished, and will continue to accomplish that. Feel free to contact me directly if you feel the need to discuss things further. I am happy to fill in the many blanks in the version of the story that you have heard.

I am sure it must be heart breaking for you too, as we all know that apples do not fall far from the tree. But this lousy experience serves to guide others through similar situations - lemonade out of lemons, as the saying goes...

Remember, all it takes for evil to prevail is for all good men to remain silent. The silence from you and your family is deafening. Be careful, Lousy is using you too.

You are in my prayers.
