Death Passes By

My son left to return for college Friday. I took out a parent loan last semester to help pay tuition. Also, paid his bills while he was in school. When he came home in May, I stopped paying his bills. He worked this summer. This semester, he got an R.A., but was still short $1,000 for his tuition. I told him I couldn't do it. Suggested he ask his father, which he did. His father gave him $1,000 in savings bonds that his grandmother had left Anthony when she died. My son still needs money for books and asked his father. His father said he would try and come up with the money.

Saturday, when my daughter and I got home from shopping for school clothes, there was a message on my answering machine. It was regarding life insurance for colon cancer. My friend, who recently gave up the battle with colon cancer, died last night. She didn't suffer long, which I am glad.

This morning I opened up my email stating that someone had commented on my "Kontain.com" blog. This is the painting, "Death Passes By", which was commented on. I painted it after my ex-mother-in-law passed away, for this is what I saw, her spirit passing by. The comments were from my ex's wife. I found it strange yet not at all. People who are suffering and in pain will oftentimes cause others pain and to suffer. Well, it didn't work on me. I called the police and they came to my office and I filed a complaint. Nasty text messages/voice mail, cussing, etc. is one thing, but I do not take well to being threatened. Once again, I will say, Sharon, stay away from me.

What I did find comforting was the fact that my son told me that his father has not said anything negative about me to him in 2 years. Live and let live. Appears we've finally learned the "adult" thing.

I told a friend about ex-'s wife's activities. She has now followed me to "kontain.com". Her new site is called "Dario's beautiful art". She is called "Sharon hates ex-wife". Totally ridiculous. I left "my space" because of her following me and leaving nasty comments. My friend replied, "she is off-centered". I replied, "she is fuckn crazy". His reply, "I was saying the same thing". Appears I am more direct, and to the point. She has photos posted of the two of them. Photos taken when I was pregnant with our daughter. How stupid. Does she really think I give a pig's ass about that now? Jealousy and greed are killers. I am soooo grateful I do not live that life anymore. Co-dependence, yeah, that's what it is called. Yucko. My joy, my life depends upon no one other than me. What a wonderful place to be! I can only be me and do what I know is best. Freedom. Yes. Freedom. Just to breathe is a beautiful feeling!
