Not True

 So yesterday my daughter and I went shopping. She had an unexpected day off of school and I’ll take what I can get on time with her when she suggests it. So we’re out shopping and my husband calls. I honestly didn’t want to answer after the disastrous conversation with him Monday. And the follow up Tuesday. But I answered because…foolishly..I thought to avoid more rage. He asked what we were doing. I said shopping. He said with what money. I said we’re just looking if that’s ok with you. Well maybe you have money he says. So I said bye have a nice day. So he texted me “you’re a mean person”. Just an attempt to get attention and a response that gave him a rush. So I tested it. I answered “you know that’s not true”. No response. 10 min later i added “but thanks for yelling for 10 min yesterday”. This time a response in 5 seconds “see you can answer without an insult - mean person”. Interesting since it wasnt an insult anyways just a mild statement of fact. I answered “we know that’s not true” and again no response. So if I’m not feeding into chaos he doesn’t respond. At least sometimes. So I have a new catch phrase hoping it will work for awhile. So tonight he got home early so I got caught actually being in the living room. I’ve been avoiding that to avoid his rages. He started ranting about our son and the car he borrowed. I didn’t say anything. Then I asked what time his chiro appt was (he’d told me he couldn’t make it then got home early). He said aggressively that he was sick of having to do fkn shit after work and started raging about having to do everything himself. I lightly said unfortunately no one can go to your chiro for you. And he got mad. Parodied me and started ranting so I quietly got up, told him his dinner was in the microwave and headed to my room. He continued to rant and mumble but I couldn’t hear most of the words. Probably thankful for that. He scares me. Tomorrow I’m hiding his gun ammo. I think he’s dangerous and murderous right now.
