And how my wife toke it

My therapist and my wife do not see eye to eye. My therapist thinks I should be working on my energy levels, my wife thinks I should get to work on the long list of household chores. There is a fundamental difference! This morning I should have gone for a jog, but I did not, beacuse my wife did not support me. I should stop listening to her!

A new beginning

It is Easter and the Lord has risen  The light has come into the world and the water from the temple has washed away all sin. Not so in my private surroundings. In the spirit of things I had decided to come clean on my personal feelings of depression towards my wife: bad idea! She got terribly upset for having her shiny bright future taken away from her (makes me wonder whether she is still in denial about my ADD).

Early Bird

This morning my wife woke up in a foul mood! She is having a friend over and yesterday she went to bed leaving the house a mess! Even if I stayed up later to do the dishes until late in the evening, she still blames me and the kids. Especially in the morning I can not handle this kind of injustice: it makes me extremely cranky and it ruins my entire day! What is more: if I say anything about it she will start a fight, making me late for work.

Angry Teen

One of the communication problem I have is with my angry teens. My son has an exam week coming up, my wife had to take our daughter to an entry exam for college and I had to do the shopping. I left a teen doing Spanish. An hour later I came home to a teen using two laptops and a mobile phone, communicating with God knows whom when he should be studying. I told him my observation and surprise. He blew up on me, told me he felt wrongly accused and how unfair it was everybody had their opinions ready. He really pissed me off [I mean really, like standing over a dead body with a bloody axe in your hands] and I got angry. Deep down my son is a peace loving guy so he backed off, shut down the computers and got back to work.

A Catholic Boy

Like I said in my diary entry: I have had it with my wife's bullying behaviour every Saturday morning. So I asked her if she was OK, because she made the impression of being irritated earlier. This is what she said, I will call it the Catholic Boy Syndrome. When looking for an appropriate picture I stumbled upon a true piece of art by Michael Camilleri called Catholic Boy-2 Might be a coincidence but maybe not.
