Well, I haven't blogged about Brian and Carol for a month or more now, but the last few days have just driven me almost to the edge of insanity.....so I need to get it off my chest before I fall off into the big black hole of craziness!!
The latest episode started on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Before Barry and I went to bed, Brian told us that he was waiting for Carol to call him when she got home from King's Island (an area amusement park), where she had gone with yet ANOTHER guy....and then they were probably going to "hang out" for a while. I didn't have a problem with that, because I presumed he would wind up back here--ALONE--before the night was over.
About 4 AM, the phone rang, waking me out of a sound sleep. That was enough to scare me half to death, especially when I looked at the clock and realized what time it was. I groggily answered, and heard this rather snotty voice say "Hello" , then a pause where no one said anything, and then the male voice continued "Yeah, I know where you are, because I've been following you all night, since you got home from
No such luck....at 4:30, the phone rings again. At this point, I'm ready to scream, so I give up and answer the phone again. This time, instead of Matt, it's the guy in whose parents' house Carol has been living since March, who asks to speak to Brian. I said wasn't even sure he was home, but that I would check--if I had it to do over again, I would tell him that we didn't accept phone calls that late/early, and he could call back at a more respectable hour. Instead, I pulled on my robe, and went across the hall to knock on Brian's door and tell him he had a call.
Well, he just barely opened his door and stuck his hand out, which is VERY unusual for him, to begin with....and then it didn't help that, from the angle where I was standing, I could tell that he was standing there totally naked. Girl in the room, boy totally naked....well, I may not be a math major, but I can still add 2 and 2, and come up with teenage sex. I was SO ticked off....I just walked away before I said too much, and he decided to take off.
I suppose Brian thought I was clueless about Carol being there, though...when he got up the next morning, he came into the kitchen and fixed himself a bowl of cereal. I just looked at him and said "Is Carol still here, or did she leave already?", thinking maybe she had gone running back to Matt again, as she did on Prom Night. He gave me a stunned look and said she was still here. I told him to go wake her up and send her home....I was done playing nice by then, since I hadn't slept anymore after 4:30.
When she left, Brian went with her, and we didn't see him again until Monday afternoon, around 2:30, when he showed up with Carol tagging along behind him. They had lunch, he took a shower, and then they left again...him to go to work, her to go home, I suppose. Just added to my anger...apparently he saw nothing wrong with bringing her all the way across town to mooch food off us and then go home!! She still has no job, she's not going to school, she's not doing ANYTHING but playing video games, watching anime, and being online. I have no interest in supporting her in any way, shape, or form, KWIM?
Managed to get through the rest of Monday and all of Tuesday without any more difficulty....and then yesterday I decided to read her blog again....and nearly went through the ceiling. She had posted three different articles regarding the weekend, in essence....the first was her version of the events, which was so full of LIES that I barely recognized it at all....but it was an attempt to win Matt back, so she can continue playing her little games with both of them--but in the process, she admitted that she had been in this EXACT situation before, so I'd say it's a good bet this is a behavior pattern for her.
Her second article was a copy of an instant message conversation between her and Matt....he called her a slut and told her he was finished with her....UNLESS she cut all ties to Brian, had no further contact with him at all...and then just waited for him (Matt) to decide how long it would take for her to prove herself to him. (Oh, and he left Ohio on Sunday, and went back to NY where his parents are....says he won't be coming back....but yet gave Carol that ultimatum???) She was virtually begging him to give her another chance, claiming that Brian meant nothing to her, and that he, Matt, means everything. He told her to take the entire day to think things over before she decided which one of them she really wanted.
The third article was her decision. No big surprise, she wrote that she was choosing Matt, and said all sorts of horrible things about Brian and their "relationship".......but guess where Brian spent the night last night?????????
At this point, I am ready to go "Tough Love" on him and kick him out of our house.....I don't approve of the choices he's making, and I don't think we should have to be subjected to them.
Thoughts, opinions, comments?????
