The big problem between me and Harlan is the fact that he thinks he still has a chance with his ex wife, with whom he hasn't spoken with since the divorce 3 and a half years ago. His goal is to get enough money to pay off his fines in arkansas then go up there and get his exwife and son and move them back down here. He says that he doesnt just want his kid, he wants his family and it's a package deal, she doesnt have a choice in the matter. Doesnt sound like things will change, the reason she left him was cuz of his attitude and violence.... It would be like me pining over Lon and saying I'm gonna kidnap him and make him be mine again... not saying that the thought doesnt cross my mind like every day, but here in the real world we all know shit like that isn't going to work. Even getting back together on "good terms" and "voluntarily", there's too much bad blood and too many wounds already caused to act like a new beginning is possible. Same goes for Harlan, even IF she agreed to come down and he ACTUALLY tried to be a nice guy and decent husband to her, he'd still hold it against her for taking his son away from him and leaving him and having him arrested etc. Like she's gonna walk away from her nest egg anyway, her parents are LOADED and she still lived with them even though she's almost 30... why would she give up a LARGE inheritance to be abused? He doesn't see it my way, as usual. So it's rough knowing I'm a temporary girlfriend, and it's hard thinking that we're both colsolation prizes, second bests.... Now that I've completely depressed myself it's time to go back to work.

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
