Ugh, it took me all morning to get caught up with this madness. I have a couple of business trips coming up in two weeks' time (England and Scotland - wish I could have three sharp ones with all you lovely UK Turds while I'm there
); but at the rate that Falling Down, the Sequel, is currently going, I'll end up having to postpone those.
Ever since I joined Tattle - must've been around Thread 8 or 9 - I've had
moments of madness pockets of sympathy for Alice. Like her, I have more than one lazy bone in my body, and I know how hard it is to get said bones off the couch and into gear (but since no one ever paid my bills for me, I had little choice). On top of that, the thought of so radical a change to a lifestyle she has been used to for 30 years, if we include the Picasso years, must be positively terrifying, even if she brought it upon herself. All that, I can understand and forgive.
What I find positively inexcusable, apart from her blatant insincerity and appalling lack of poise and manners, is how she
knowingly turns her laziness, fear and childish lust for vengeance into a perfect storm that could potentially wreck not only her life but at least four others. I no longer give a flying fuck whether she ends up as a crystal-addled streetwalker in the slums of Lagos - she's of age, and it's her choice how she wants to
throw away live her life. But she is hellbent on taking YoBee down with her and doesn't give a rat's ass that her actions will ruin her kids' lives forever.
Alice, do as you please with yourself. I doubt that anyone still cares, apart from a couple of intellectually challenged loons on SM. But if there is a scintilla of reason left inside you, use it to give your daughters a chance at a normal, happy life. Ioan is not coming back to you. Say it with me: He. Is. Not. Coming. Back. To. Me.
ME. Not
US.
For the love that you claim to have for your kids, Alice - stop using them as heavy artillery in a fight that you can't and won't win. Give everyone their lives back and go find one of your own. It's time.
