Basically, I don't know what to do. I want someone to take charge for a while.

The mood swings, from neutral to panic, man, that's new and I am not digging it. I have a very thin thread to hold onto here to keep the *very bad things* from happening, and I swear, it does not look like it will hold me. I'm scared.

I am incommunicado. That is hell for me. I appreciate solitude, I enjoy quiet. But the pleasure of quiet is that it is a break from the noise. The prospect of no communication at all in the future drains all the pleasure from the solitude.

Sleeping on the floor? What's to come "home" to? No wonder I tarry.

And I'm conflicted on the goals. My goals. Her goals. His goals. Their goals.

What do they want and how is it related to what they're saying. Cause they don't match. Not even all the communication matches.

My brain hurts. My gut hurts.


My heart is broken.
oohhhh... rough night... very bad.

Big V, if what you've quoted is [or is similar to] your situation, then I think talking to the parties concerned is a start. Can you do that? Do you need/want a counsellor with you to help keep talks on track? Each (or either) party trying to work it out in their own head alone is not a method conducive to mutual understanding.
Some simple points (forgive me if they're too simple):
When talking about how you feel, don't say "you make me feel ..", just say "I feel ... when you ...".
Try not to say "always" when mentioning another's behaviour.
Allow the other party/ies to have their say, and politely request the same of them.
Good luck.
