You got off work. You were over an hour late and he is angry. That's what he wants.

You stayed up until he was ready to go to work. That's what he wants.

You got the kids to school. You came back and took him to work. That's what he wants.

You went home to clean up after the kids' breakfast and the clothes he wore last night. That's what he wants.

You found two tickets for a movie timed for when he was supposed to be at work. That's what he wants.

You pick up the kids from school and take them to your mother's. That's what he wants.

You have tonight off work. That's not what he wants.

You want to talk with him about some things. That's not what he wants.

You keep trying but that makes things worse. That's what he wants.

You keep the movie tickets to yourself. That's what he wants.

You go to bed alone. That's what he wants.

You text his boss and find out he never started working there.

You text his supposed coworker/friend and find out he didn't even go to the interview.

You ask around and find out he has been cheating on you with someone half your size, with longer hair and better looking.

You are busting in your hardest efforts to pay the bills, rent, and make sure there is food in the house and hot water for showers. And electricity for tv, his video games, and kids to have night lights. That's what he wants.

You have a job. That's what he wants.

You got a raise at work and a big bonus. That's what he wants.

You upgraded your car because the other one didn't have much room. That's not what he wants.

You bought the kids new beds because they were sleeping on the floor. That's not what he wants.

You bought a new tv cause someone broke in and stole his a week ago. That's not what he wanted.

You adopted 4 kittens because your friend didn't want to take them to the pound. That's not what he wanted.

You come home after work one morning to find another woman on your couch watching a movie with him. That's what he wants.

You are upset and tell her to get out. That's what he wants.

You tried to kick him but he grabbed you and pulled you to the floor where he held you down with his knee on your chest. That's what he wants.

You push him off and he gives you a black eye. That's what he wants.

You push again and get up and have a panic attack. That's what he wants.

You try to leave the room but he is keeping you in. That's what he wants.

You scream for help but the police show up only to arrest you for disrupting neighbors. That's what he wants.

You show them your face and arms and the room and what's on the table and explained to them what happened. You both get arrested. He told them you destroyed his property. That's what he wants.

You cry and hurt. That's what he wanted.

Ladies, yes they look like Prince Charming but meth heads are not charming. They will pull you in, have you think you are spoiling them when you are really just doing everything he wants you to. But because you think you are doing him a favor, you don't see what is really going on. Drug addicts are all the same. They will lie to you. Manipulate you. Steal from you. Cheat on you. Gaslight you. Hurt you. And then play the victim and turn it all on you. he turns his family and friends on you with one word. He tries to do the same with your family. He actually does it to you too. And it works the best on you because you will prove him right, right after he says it.

You're crazy.
