What a Night

What a Night

Jul 11

Well, my life seems to be a story of never ending action or drama or something. Let me back it up a little. Chris and I were roommates. His girlfriend is Niki. We all get along and Niki and I actually probably hung out more than they did together. Well last night they both decided to get drunk. Everything was fine and dandy at first. They were being silly and whatnot. I told Chris I was going to take a picture of him and it was mildly embarrassing. He was laughing at first and then decided that he wanted it deleted. No big deal. I deleted it and Niki watched me do it. However, this wasn’t enough for him and he flipped out and grabbed my wrists trying to get the phone from me. I kept struggling to get free from him and in the process both of my monitors took a topple to the floor. He almost snapped my phone in half as well.

The issue wasn’t that he was trying to get my phone. It was that he was making demands from me and then began screaming in my face to get what he wanted. I will not be controlled by ANYONE. Then he continued to scream and swung at me but didn’t hit me so I stood up and he pushed me to the ground. I called the cops and they made him leave. Niki, of course, stuck by him. They walked b/c they were drunk and an hour later they came back and got their cars. Then another hour passed and they came back and Chris got all his shit together and moved out. Then he tried to say I don’t deserve to have Gracie because I snap too easily and I’m not fit to care for a 9 month old. He even threatened to go to court on my date to tell the judge. I told him to mind his own fucking business, get his shit, and get out of my house.

So now I have no roommate and my house is a mess. However, it’s for the best. It may seem like a petty thing but one thing leads to another and soon enough he’s controlling me beyond something so simple. If I’ve learned one thing from Randy is that I can depend only on myself and I need to be able to stand on my own two feet when it comes down to it. Now I’m going to go clean my messy house because Randy is giving me Gracie overnight while he works which is nice. I think it may be a regular thing.

    Ugh. I’m so sorry to hear about the roommate drama. I’m sure it was nice having Chris and Niki for the financial help, and just the support and companionship as well. But getting drunk and losing control like that is DEFINITELY uncalled for. You did the right thing by calling the police and kicking them out.

    I’m glad that Randy is giving Gracie to you overnight. I hope it is indeed a regular thing. You two need as much time together as possible. *hug*

    wtf! he is the one that snapped too easily, you were protecting yourself! that was definitely uncalled for and its really shitty that they did that to you. in the end its for the best because you don’t need jackasses like that around your daughter.

    this is one of the reasons i don’t really hang out with drunk people anymore… i had a friend try to choke me to death for joking and telling him he should stop drinking before he passes out. he took it as me saying i was going to take his drink away and choked me until 2 other guys could peel his hands off me.

    stay strong manda… you’re better than these idiots.

    Ugh, so sorry to hear you have another bump in the road that you have to deal with. But you did the right thing. He should of never of even thought about putting his hands on you. What an ass!

    It’s exciting to hear that you get Gracie overnight. =] I think it would be really good for you if it becomes a regular thing to get her while he’s working. (By the way, i’m xcaity on yahoo if you ever need to vent about anything.)

    Sorry to hear about the roommate drama. There is always a risk with having roommates and it sucks to hear that yours didn’t help out. I agree with everyone, though… you DEFINITELY did the right thing by calling the cops and making him leave. Go you. *huuuugs*

    I’m sorry Chris wasn’t as good of a friend as you thought, and I’m glad he’s booted out of your apartment (and hopefully your life!). Also, Gracie overnight is RAD. I hope you girls have an awesome night.
