Water under the bridge

 After years of taking it on the chin, where it mattered the most, raising two children, and attempting to maintain a marriage where both of us were broken, we called it off after 25 years.  All the other crap that was going on never touched them.  I don't even think they realized what was going on outside the house.  

Why was Dad under subpoena for nearly a decade because of his other insane family? 

I was more than a little concerned about my ex-wife dragging strangers into our home.  I had a target on my head!  

I'm out there in Bako living with a price on my head, and this dim-witted broad is having the time of her life!  

Unbelievable, right?  

It got to be too much after I busted her cheating, so away she went.  She can deny it all she wants, but I'm over it and her lies.   

It's fine, we can't undo it now.   

Water under the bridge.  

I got dragged through the mud on the whole thing, but if folks back home think it's clever to add insult to injury, they've got another coming.  The joke is on you.  This isn't the Jerry Springer show. I never signed on for any of this.  

It was more like a lifetime show, Pitbulls and Parolees meets 90 Day Fiance meets Intervention, meets The Sopranos, meets The Jerry Springer Show, meets Sons of Anarchy meets Cops.  

Who wouldn't run screaming for the forest like his ass was afire?  I swear.  

You freaks are too much!  

Yeah, that's my mother and sister, but at some point, you have to draw the line; you can't drag in every dangerous felon you find on the side of the road.  Reformed my ass, he should never see the light of day again.  He thinks he's Jack Henry Abbott?  Well, my name's Friday and I used to wear a badge, get the fuck outta here, you piece of shit!  

For those who know, for those who don't, now you do.  

But that's okay, I saw how corrupt it was even back then, so I kept my mouth shut and made a quiet exit.  That's me, always keeping my mouth shut for the sake of the family.     

It's a good thing there's a lot of water under that bridge to wash off all the mud they tried to bury me under, because when you hate someone, you only destroy yourself.  It's too bad they can't say the same thing for themselves.   

What little credibility I had was lost back in California, and it's a good thing we aren't in California any longer.  

I'm lucky to be alive and in one piece, and I give all the glory, honor, and praise to god for that.    

At least one person finally heard me and acknowledged that what went down was real thats why I'm writing about this today.  Moving forward Im going to continue doing what I have been doing in addition to a few other things.  I came here three years ago to escape the toxic environment I found myself in.  The last thing I want to do is contaminate my new life with fresh problems caused by my past.  My record is clean just like my conscience.  Zero, nothing in the meantime, all the people with stuff to hide want to sling a bunch of fiery arrows in this direction?  I was a witness for the prosecution!  And after all that, when your phone doesn't ring.  You know the fix is in.  

Have a nice day.  

They've been surrounded by controversy for decades.  

Who knows.  

Put it this way Einsteins, you can't weaponize someone's past because everybody has skeletons in their closet, and my closet is clean.  I was always on the right side of the law, and I don't care what anybody says.  I did the right thing in more ways than one, but God often sees the truth and waits.   I've carried a massive burden for decades, and only through faith in God was I able to survive and overcome it.  

He never promised it would be easy, only that I would survive.
