I don't need to compromise my principles because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway. -- Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes
...because the minute you say "Things can't get any worse," they will.
So... last night, shortly after making my journal entry, I get a text message from my mom saying she would be home soon, and that she and my stepdad had been attempting to talk things out. Though it didn't sound like things had gone well, because she also said that she wasn't sure if he was coming home or not. I relaxed a little and began to get ready to go to bed...
...and five minutes later I get another text message. My stepdad called the police on my mom, telling them she was suicidal. And the cops, of course, took her to the hospital.
I drove to the hospital to bring Mom a change of clothes and a few other things, and the whole time I was worried about her. But when I got to the hospital, she was laughing and joking with the nurses... and royally pissed off at my stepdad. She had NEVER made any threats against her own life, she said, and she was of the opinion that he called the cops on her just to be spiteful. Even the doctors and nurses said Mom was perfectly fine, if somewhat stressed out -- but they were still legally obligated to keep her for at least 24 hours for observation.
As a consequence of this -- my stepdad is not allowed back in the house. And at this point it pretty much looks like the marriage is over. What kind of husband has his wife sent to a psychiatric ward just because of an argument? *sigh*
To be honest, I feel better now. With my stepfather gone, maybe the fighting will go down to a minimum. I still wish they could have worked it out... but sometimes that's not an option. And this looks like one of those times.
And me... I'm exhausted. Only got three hours of sleep last night thanks to this fiasco. Hopefully the rest of the week goes okay and I can catch up on some rest...

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.
