So apparently, I'm the one that has to take all the crap in this house. Everyone is falling apart and I have to deal with it. J just gets angry and makes it worse. I'm tired. All I see is him checking vitals over and over. As if his life depends on it. Our daughter is going to grow up seeing this and be affected by this. I'm scared she'll be thinking it's normal to do this all the time. I understand having tools available is nice but if he doesn't get a number he likes, he goes back on the treadmill. He comes off shakey and has lost a lot of weight. This is not normal behavior. And I'm supposed to just take it. I go upstairs to get some peace and he starts banging and yelling because the number on the machine isn't what he wants. He does it again and again and again and same result. I walk out frustrated and with anxiety because I have to get it from him and her and I'm just on edge all the time. I can't get it out of my system. Only him and her get to express themselves and I'm just supposed to sit there and take it. This isn't the way I want to live the rest of my life. If this is how it's going to be, I hope for it to be over soon. Maybe I should just stop going to my doctors, let my diabetes go out of control, get sick so I can maybe get a break. I don't like thinking like that. I'm trying hard to lose weight and lower my cholesterol so I don't need to take more meds. But the garbage in this house is exhausting.

Tired of being worried all the time...
Yes, I worry a lot these days. Money is the big issue. Will we make it till J gets back to work? I don't know anymore. I want to see if we can skip any payments but J keeps saying they'll cut us off on credit. Well, let's be real, when we don't pay and our accounts are overdrawn, then what, they'll just ignore the missing payments and let us use our open credit. NOT. But what do I know. I'm just a full time employee and mom of a seven year old and have struggled for years to pay down our debt only to wind up in the same situation. I've cashed in all the savings, investments and 401K money I can scrounge up to pay. It's not looking pretty anymore. I worry that when J goes back to work, he'll just spend like even more as if we don't have debt to pay back. It has to stop. At this point, I'll be working till I die.
My other worry is my daughter. J has ideas on giving money rewards and I want to change that. I suggested it and he said he agreed, then a couple of weeks later he said he wants to give her money rewards. I think she should have an allowance. No strings attached allowance. Good behavior shouldn't be rewarded with cash. She just needs to have good behavior.
That's my rant of the day. Thanks for listening.
