What a crap weekend last weekend was. Today I had to decide whether or not to prosecute a friend's son for assaulting me and vandalizing my motorcycle Saturday night.
Of course, I can't blame him for the assault. His mother and I got into a very nasty physical fight over my roommate having another seizure. He was drunk and defending his mother.
Sometimes I hate life.
It may all be for the best. This event will get all these shallow people out of my life. I don't mind that at all. But the one thing I do regret is losing my best friend, my roommate, Lee.
Lee was on the outs with her girlfriend last Saturday, so she spent the entire day with her ex-gf (we call her Sam) and Sam's 16 y.o. son, James. They played poker and drank all day long. Any of of you who may recall, know that when Lee drinks to excess she ends up having seizures.
They showed up at my place around 5 p.m. All was well and good, we were having a good time, until Lee went into one of her seizures. Sam thinks she knows how to take care of Lee, but Lee has told me in no uncertain terms to not let Sam do anything. I've pulled Sam off Lee twice before. Sam pins Lee down and gets her face within an inch of Lee's and whispers to her... how that's supposed to help, I'll never know... but once again, on Saturday night, there she was, in Lee's face.
Lee was really out of it. I attempted to once again pull Sam off her. Only this time she refused to budge. I had to physically pull her off. She took that as an attack (yes, I did have to shove her some), and she attacked me.
That launched one helluva fight between us (I don't back down) and the drunk 16 y.o. son started trying to defend his mother. He broke my rake and started whaling me across my back with it. All the while I'm trying to rouse Lee AND keep Sam off me.
I raised up, turned to see who was hitting me, and saw him raring back to hit me again. This time, of course, he would have nailed me in the head, so I threw up my arm. I have a rather nasty scrape and bruise on my forearm from where the rake handle struck me.
I took the rake handle away from him and threw it across the deck. This is when (I assume) he went after my bike. I say assume, because about that time, I found myself under Sam on one of my deck chairs, which broke. She had launched at me, and we both landed on the chair. I couldn't get Sam off me, so I reached up and dug my nails into her face. That got her off me.
Sam, who claimed to only be concerned about Lee, did NOT call for an ambulance. She called the police. I am the one who called an ambulance for Lee.
Somehow in this mess, Lee ended up getting kicked and apparently she hit her head on the deck railing. She has been told by Sam that I kicked her. And she believes it. I did NOT kick Lee. How could I? I spent most of my time defending myself from Sam and James! But she has chosen Sam over me.
Sam has lied about having cancer and heart attacks. Lee KNOWS this. But she believed Sam over ME, whom she has known much longer. But when it comes to ex-girlfriends over best friends... I finally found out where I really stand with her.
We're done. And I feel like shit.

Oh my WORD!I would press charges! Did her son get in any trouble for being a drunk minor? Did she get in any trouble for giving it to him?I'm very sorry for how this all turned out for you. I hope you're feeling okay, bruised in more ways than one.{{{HUGS}}}Daily -

Hi daily and ed!
Apparently, in Kansas, it's legal to give alcohol to your 16 year old child! Imagine my surprise when I learned that! I suppose they could get him for public intoxication as well as the vandalism, and the District Attorney may yet charge him... but I have decided not to.
And I know this sounds odd, but I really cannot blame him for defending his mother. I would want my boys to defend me (in fact, when I told my boys about this event, they wanted to go after him, but I told them no). Prior to this, James and I had a pretty decent friendship going on. He's basically a good kid. Now, trashing my bike was rather childish and if I could prosecute him just for the vandalism, I would, but the detective in charge says I can't do one without the other, I can't charge him with vandalism without charging him with the assault too. So, I'm stuck. And I know I can't trust his mother to own up to her responsibilities for his actions, so I'm screwed. Oh well.
And yeah, this did turn out to be one big frickin' mess! I just want it all to go away... including Lee.
Anyway... thanks, guys, I appreciate your input. I needed very badly to vent last night and had nowhere else to go with this. Still not feeling much better this morning, but I'll muddle through.

What a load of crap!
I am glad venting here helped you.....sometimes it is better leaving some friends behind..its painful but it lifts pressure and unecessary stress from your life....
I would suggest to let everything go.....just move on...delete them from your present being...come back to them when time will be rigth if you will feel right to do so...it seems you are stuck and its wise not to fight against obvious difficulties ....

Oh my god... Lee was just here. friday nite, 12:30 a.m.
She actually laid another guilt trip on me. She reminded me that she's being sued by the company who held the loan on her truck... or rather the truck SHE GAVE TO SAM (the one I fought with last Saturday) when they were together AND THAT SAM HAS SINCE DEFAULTED ON –BUT STILL HAS AND DRIVES SAID TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!
In other words... I stand to cause more trouble for Lee by fighting with Sam.
MY jaw is STILL on the floor. omfg
