So my significant other Dexter (technically, he's the roommate/ex-boyfriend/best friend, but I'm simplifying it a bit here) has recently left for deployment to the middle east. For security reasons I can't say when. BUT I haven't seen him for two months now (he was training in the states, and I can say that much). Its our second deployment together (first was 2003/2004) so I know what to expect.
I moved up here (to North Carolina) from Atlanta back in 2007, because his Mom asked me to move up here. My Mom had recently died and it was ideal at the time to move up here. Dexter had moved back here to NC about a year or so before 2007. Well, to make a long story short, his Mom hates my guts (and that is putting it mild) and kicked Dexter and myself out of her house-- and this is after I cooked all her meals, cleaned her house, made sure she had all her medications every day, healed her wounds (her leg was amputated and no doctor or nurse could heal the huge wound, but when I started dressing her leg it started healing) basically... waited on her hand and foot.
She doesn't like me because I told her she wasn't my Mother. I can understand why she'd take offense but... I had a mother. I took care of my mother for 10 years (sickness). No one could replace my Mom.
Anyway, she thinks that Dexter hardly ever came to her house was because of my negative influence. What she doesn't know is that the only reason he CAME to her house was because I made him go, He wanted nothing to do with her (and a lot of her former friends want nothing to do with her). For one thing, she calls Dexter stupid and other names. And she killed the ferals out in her yard when we moved out, and Dexter and I loved those cats.
Anyway, I know I'm not blameless, but she thinks I'm the reason, as she says I'm "pulling her family apart" and that isn't true. I still love her, and I want to still do for her (his cousin is in her house now so she has someone to help her). Anyway, with the deployment, and this, and me being alone right now in a strange area... I just want to vent about it somewhere.
If you got through all that, thank you in advace.
