Love and Loathing

There is of course a damage limitation exercise to deal with when you have vile in-laws. And it doesn't take much to constitute a vile in-law. Put simply an unacceptable in-law is anyone who displays inappropriate behaviour towards you, even if you can't quite put your finger on it, all you know is you experience something and you feel uncomfortable. You haven't done anything other than exists. No matter what reason you apply it isn't going to give you a logical explanation because there isn't one. You will need to pay someone to discuss this with to understand the psychological behaviour and learn coping strategies.

A vile in-law costs! If you can afford it find an Igor to help you through this but if not then you need to employ love as your main weapon against loathing. Loathing will strike you and make you eat, drink, cry and even shout. You will doubt your love and your beloved will become your beloathed. You will fight your loathing but this is actually what loathing likes best. It loves you to fight it, to attempt to suppress because loathing knows love is quite chilled and will take its time to get a grip of your heart strings. Love likes to languish, hence the first throws of love are drug like and intoxicating. You don't need to eat, you can sleep or be awake and all is bliss. Touch, taste and smell is pure sensory pleasure. You are released from your body as a means of labour and love gives you freedom from materialism, need and validation.

Hence love will not hurry or fight loathing, it just ain't loves style. Love will wait and send a vibe, a memory to remind you of love and your love for beloved. Meanwhile poor beloved is met only by loathing and has to feel your pain, be unable to help and bury its own pain further, deeper to erase the issue. Beloved is building a fortress to keep loathing at bay. Meanwhile the in-law *****rs are walking the dog, being miserable or fine and couldn't give a fig for the chaos or despair they have caused you because ultimately they are righteous and selfish. However, there are forces at play, mainly high blood pressure and so you sit and keep willing the male in-law to put more salt on his food, to keep drinking too much and hope.

Meanwhile you look for Igor...

  1. I have Igor and even he is not enough to protect me from the slings and arrows of familial trauma.
    I think that alcohol, time and distance are as important as a good shrink.
