Yet Another Crossroad.. one of many...
The last month and a half has been quite a challenging one for myself and my husband with a gentle spirit. I think we are about to change out location as well as our direction of life and although it's a bit uncertain.. maybe it's wise.. it's hard to say...yet, this isn't the first.. and by God this won't be the last.
For about a year now we have tried to live life in the so called correct manner. My husband worked with his father.. I encouraged him to do so.. thinking.. finally an option to make give our lives direction and purpose.. yet now.. I see this wasn't meant to be.. the father in law.. has things kind of messed up in his mind.. although he means well.. he is unable to give his only son a second chance completely..
I also.. being the little white girl from Kansas.. often have a white washed view of the world around me.. The town we not live in.. a town where my hubby lived for most of his life.. isn't so pure and inviting.. last night I yelled ferociously in it's true face.. contorted with prejudice and hate.. sooo willing to harm it's own citizen in a sort of brutish.. and unjust pack mentality.. as my hubby and I were trying to escape from a group of eight guys .. trying to do away with what they considered foreign and unwelcome..
The initial reaction is to just fly away... and maybe we should.. we might fly away to the bigger city where we can MAYBE distance ourselves from hate.. failed expectation.. and such.. but.. is this the way to solve it all.. to leave it all to fester for later?

Prejudice in any form is an ugly thing to experience and sadly a reflection of the on-going ignorance in our society. -
Oooo.. yeah.. the thing was .. we started the night saying. NO DRAMA.. NO STRESS.. we went to a couple of bars.. talked to some friends at both.. even had my hubby's best friend Mike hanging out with us for awhile.. and we chatted with this group of sweet gals.. also pretty .. which might have been an initial trigger of our problem.. they left and this stuuuuupid piece of crap.. known as Curly comes into the little patio type area we were in.. and start to empty the ash trays just so he could give my husband the look.. and then this guy gets close to my hubby and says.. "Say Thank you" in a mean way.. my hubby doesn't back down.. and this guy has always caused tension with us.. and I was getting pissed.. so I walk outside .. and then I walk back in.. my german temper just flaring and I was like Hey Curly.. I am getting sick of you coming in and starting crap when my husband and I are having a good time.. who do you think you are .. you are just a redneck piece of trash.. well .. then we try to get to our Jeep soon after that.. and all of a sudden 8-10 guys come out.. I am BEYOND pissed by now.. and I am standing between the guys and my man.. my hubby is telling me to get behind him.. but I wouldn't have it.. this d bag picks up this metal pole with a sign and threatens my hubby with it.. and one calls him a sand nigger.. and then the cops come and talk to us.. it took awhile.. and there was some issue with the knife my hubby carries for protection.. he pulled it out to try to scare these guys off.. but the police figures out we weren't in the wrong.. even gives my hubby his knife back.. but it was sooo Fd up..

Jen, sorry you and your hubby had to experience shit like that. Curly and his buddies sound like the worst kind of ignorant redneck mentality. It's total BS, but the only way to avoid it is to stay away from that place.

Yeah.. that's for sure..
