What a bastard

Got a phone call just after 10 this morning.


W: 'F, it's W. I need to come around and collect some papers.'

F: 'OK, when do you want to call in?'

W: 'This morning.'

F: 'Fine, what time?'

W: 'Well I'm going to have to catch the 10.15 bus if it ever comes past my brother's house, then go into town, then change busses to come out to you.'

F: 'OK. Sounds fine to me.'

W: 'So I suppose I will be there sometime about 11.15.'

F: 'So do you just need papers or is there anything else I can get ready for you?'

W: 'I'll be on the bus and won't be able to carry much.'

F: 'OK, See you then.'

I then did a mad rush and stacked the dishwasher- luckily I did the hand washing yesterday and there was only 2 knives left to wash! Then quickly sorted half the papers on the dining table inside that has never been used as a dining table! Most of it was the mail from the last few weeks which I out in his and her piles and also piles of stuff he had left there. Got the vacuum out and quickly vacuumed the kitchen and dining area, then put the vacuum away so it didn't look like it had just been done! The started sorting laundry. At 11.30 he turns up with his brother. I show him the pile of mail and ask him to open a large letter from Centrelink, thinking it might be the letter he needs to sign for me to get the family allowance. No just other forms. So I tell him that I have the declaration there and I will write it out if he can sign it. He tells me that he is not in a fit state to sign anything and he will wait until Centrelink sends the letter. I tell him that if he doesn't respond to the letter after 2 weeks then it is taken as a given. He tells me that I will have to wait the two weeks then. Bastard. He grabs some clothes and shoves them in a laundry basket. Apparently he needs his passport. I assume he means his permanent residency visa stamp. Anyway, his brother is standing around looking lost. He asks W if there is anything else he needs. W tells him to grab the family Bible! I am thinking of all the stuff we have here, he is most concerned for his family Bible. Very strange!

I asked W which personality disorder he has and was told that it was all in the Schema Therapy book he asked me to read 2 years ago. I did read certain chapters of it and really it talks about family of origin stuff and how that affects you as an adult. It is not about personality disorders as far as I can see. I am about to re-google schema therapy and see what I come up with. I suppose at least I was civil to him.

Oh and he tells me he doesn't know where his keys are. I don't believe him so will need to get the locks changed. Bastard.
