Grrr
Chante Mallard was convicted of murder yesterday and is awaiting her sentencing today. She was driving under the influence and hit someone, failed to render aid/put her victim in a position to receive aid from someone else, tampered with evidence... and left the victim lodged in the windshield of her car, in her garage, for two hours where he bled to death, while she was off having sex with her ex-boyfriend. How callous. I swear I'm trying to be sympathetic about her frame of mind at the time, but I have a feeling I am going to be upset if she gets less than 10 years. She should have just 'fessed up when it happened and got that man some help; she threw that man's life away because she was being wholly irresponsible and selfish. Honesty is the best policy, and people lose a lot of respect for you when they find out that you've been lying about something.
Of course, I could just be biased about the whole thing because I am bitter about my own personal problems. Someone I love and respect very much has been abusing my trust and has been actively lying to me, straight to my face, even though he knows that I know better. I am, on the whole, not a very suspicious person, but this... it really hurts. Damnit. Is it so much to ask for people to be straightforward? Whatever you do privately is your business, yes, but there is a line to where the white lies stop and hurtful ones begin. It is my business because this is my house as much as it is his and because my children are being exposed to it. It is my business to know his intentions, if nothing else, but he won't even give me that much. Come on, give my intelligence a little bit of credit here!
...Sorry. *takes a deep breath* That, too, has been building up for a long time and I was getting tired of not saying anything. And after calling my mother this morning and hearing her explode over it too, I think I finally ran out of patience myself. *buries head in hands* I just... I'm so tired of keeping it in. He doesn't have the right to do this to me. And I needed to say that. *calming dooooown*
Okay, I'm done now. n.n
