...living with the Bi Polar ain't so bad. So what she talks to the TV and has arguments with it? No big deal. I'm beginning to get hip to this now. As long as her man is no where in sight and I'm locked securely in my room, all is well.
I know I really slagged this woman down, and I feel kinda bad. She really isn't a bad person, just terribly nutty. She can't help it, I guess. And it seems like I'm having some sort of positive effect on her. The people who know her in the building are EXTREMELY glad to see me and go out of their way to be nice and say hello, like "Thank you for chilling her out. You must be blessed!". I think people just gave up on her and wrote her off, yet I have to make an attempt to be nice and understanding cause I HAVE to live there. And I, despite my crazy life, am a pretty laid back person. There's nothing like some outside person quietly observing your madness to make you question just what the fuck you are doing.
She's really trying and I am trying to let her know I know she's trying. As long as she has the strength to keep the asshole at arm's distance, she may be ok. She's straightening up her house and life and it seems she hasn't had another female presence around to support her in that. Again, it's a fine line between being objectively supportive and getting involved in someone's shit. But I see what happens when women let themselves become absorbed with their man instead of themselves.
Put out some good vibes for her. And me.
