The Chess Game: Six Moves Ahead.


don't know where we stand but I know anything I try to to do I need to be six moves ahead of you because otherwise you'll think you're in control. The secret is, when it comes to me, with one exception, you've never been in control.


It occurs to me at this moment we are at the exact sAme place we were at this time last year. With me angry and hurt and cross with you, yet still planning something stupidly huge that I will follow thru with. 


I don't know how to fail. I never did. I'm not about to stop now. I know what I want. What I want is you, what I want is my family back. Complete and whole. There's only one answer to that. You know what it is. You set the rules. I just changed the questions.


I can deal with the silence and the mindgames, I know you'll always come back. For what it's worth you and I are the only constants left in each other's life.  That was by you're choice and you're design.


Love you or hate you, at war, at peace or at silence, I'm always going to be here. I may not like it, and there are often times I don't like it or like you. But that doesn't matter because I've promised you and I've promised others to always be there for you. I honour my promises. Even when I hate the thought of it.


You destroyed my life and my other relationships on multiple occasions. Because there can't be anyone else other than you right? And still I forgive you, but let's not think I'm stupid or blind. I see every movement, the same way you do. And I have forced myself to think critically about every one and match you word for word, thought for thought action for action. Nothing in this world is a vacuum. I used to react with emotion and behaviour, impulsively. You still do. I think first. There is always more to the story.


For the last six months I have had to deal with more than you and I, and that's important too. But all you're constant actions prove is that it is all about you. Not our kid, not our extended family. Just me and you and me being the light at the end of the tunnel, the back up plan, the one who will always be there.


Wrong. I am the black hole that will suck all the light out. That's what you've made me. Just because I am inevitable, and things will eventually happen, it doesn't mean it's a positive for either one of us. It's why I have set rules. It's why there's a timetable. It's why I can and will walk away agian. Everything is just another movement on the board. It will be until the end. You're actions this year have proved that. Some things may get forgiven, some things can't. 


Or be forgotten.

  I want you in my life. Don't ever fucking confuse that for needing you in my life. Those two things are mutually exclusive to each other. I'm fine with my life and it's not my freind's and my social life that I'm jealous of. We both made our choices. My life has always been an insane carnival. You were merely an extended chapter. But if you think I'm going to sit at home being sad and depressed and shutting down because your not in my life. Your delusional. Then agian we already know this. If my life is going to be a sad comedy then I'll make it a metal massacre. I'm not sitting around waiting for anyone. The least of all you.  I sacrificed enough time on the altar of what might have been. I'm just enjoying the time that we have left. This way if it go out, it's on my own terms. I always told you that my funeral pyre will be a blaze of glory.. I just never told you when.  Now I'm gonna live and have adventures. Remain jealous. You know how ...

The Trees.

  I am really bothered by someone hurting my tree. I’m not sure the next step but that’s a living thing. I know that there is no healing when our things are still affected negatively by people. I’m not sure what the next step is but I know this is part and parcel of the entire thing and that we can’t heal when people hurt the things we care about.  I don’t have much but I do have a legacy to protect and there is a place where my son needs to feel safe, and I don’t think it will ever be that house agian. But once it was home, there are good memories there. There was love.  Part of that is the peace that was our tree. I’m sick of people damaging the things I love.  The world needs to be better and less selfish. I need peace in mine and her lives. Even if we are separate in our lives. She needs the peace and quiet I have in my life. Even more than I do.  And only one of us has it.

I dont know the next step. I don't claim to. I just know I'm working to rebuild a relationship that has been fractured for many years. That includes both of you. I am here. I will always be here, I have always been here that will never change  This weekend was epic and it felt right. I don't know what will happen but i do know that I am at peace with being civil and polite with your mom. It was nice to have a little adventure as a family. It felt right. It what was missing in our lives. Thank you.
