We all have those crazy people in our lives. Most of us have a family member (or two or three) that we'd flat out call CRAZY. There is a family friend of ours (FF) that is going through some crazy stuff right now.
I've known this guy since I was in high school. I met him through my BIL Jello (BigSis#2's hubby). When Jello and BigSis#2 got together, I'd see FF at least twice a year at parties. FF is an extremely intelligent person. Went to one of the best universities in my hometown. Got his master's degree. Then he got married. We thought he would go to law school. We thought he was going to try to be a highway patrol officer. We thought he was going to try to go into the FBI. Well, he ended up having 2 kids. Two boys. One who is now 7 and one who is 1 1/2.
I found out that FF and his wife are now divorced. That FF has left his home in stealth mode. Stealth mode? Yes! He has been moving his stuff out while his wife (now ex-wife) is at work. And the thing that puts tears into my eyes just thinking about it is that he didn't sit down with his boys to talk about the situation. He just moved out. Without a word. That's what he did! I'm still in SHOCK that this is how he's dealing with. What's even MORE shocking is that the two have been divorced for a year and a half....but remained in the same house together as if nothing had changed. They hadn't even discussed their divorce with his family who live near them. WTF?
And what kind of job does FF hold right now? Did he use his degree? His master's? NOPE! He's a dealer at a casino and is adoring his job. I guess he gets 'perks'. Apparently, when FF was talking with Jello, FF made a comment like "It's great. The Hours. The Money. The girls." JJ replied "Hey man. You're married." But NOW we know what FF was getting at. He was divorced and getting easy pickings from the girls who worked at the casino. Gross! Gross! Gross!
I'm still shaking my head just thinking about this entire situation. I'm confused. I'm outraged. That family? It's now broken.
