about the eye injury that was almost a murder.

Alex was fooling around with Joann.

They wanted us all to move to England and start up a bed and breakfast.

Alex knew I would never be a party to that and it pissed him off. So, he tried to get me to get him a bank account in England. As if the Green Card and citizenship in America weren’t enough. I said no.

But he used the Canada word and I had to get on the plane. Knowing that I left Ian in danger not being clear about how and why.

Next thing I knew the flight I was on was sidelined by a storm, we circled Atlanta for an hour or more, my luggage went somewhere else, all I had was my briefcase full of meds. I hadn’t showered for several days. It was a horrifying situation. I couldn’t find the right bus to get on. I called Alex. He called a cab. I got in and got taken a half hour south into Alabama (???). Then the cab driver drove back up towards Atlanta. I had to agree to pay half the cab fare. Stayed at a small motel for two days (???). Where I had the most horrifying omen, it felt like a miscarriage.

I took a shower but had to put on my dirty clothes. Thank God I at least had my medications.

somehow I managed to get back to the airport and flew to Manchester Airport in the North of England where Alex awaited. Only to learn later that evening that Ian’s “best friend” Colin had launched a dart at him hitting him straight in his left eye, nearly killing him. It lodged 2mm from his brain. Colin, Joann’s son.

So, all bets were off. He still tried to get me to get him the bank account but it didn’t work out. I flashed my British passport at the airport on the way home. That got me into serious trouble.

All Alex cared about was keeping Joann out of trouble. I was too traumatized to get directly back on the plane. Not knowing that Ian was sitting there waiting for us for the surgery to proceed.

the whole thing was such a seriously mixed up mess but somehow he got through it and as far as I know his eye has healed well, the coffee incident a few years later notwithstanding.

I wish that I could go back and change things. Not get on that plane. I knew not to but I needed someone to help me stand up to him.

Now we are all blown out of the water.

He got greedy.

Thought he could have his cake and eat it too. And is still trying.
