I don't care about you

I made this video by transcribing a recording of Susan launching an attack over something. After years of false starts and much future faking we finally had new blinds and curtains fitted in our house.

Happy occasion? Ha!… Not a chance.

Me narrating

We had blinds and curtains fitted to all the windows of our house today. You would think this would be a happy time for us. We’re making progress with our fixer-upper house. Nope, I’m not sure exactly what happened but it’s likely Susan has sustained some kind of narcissistic injury. We can only speculate on that I guess.

Earlier, she was up on a ladder with a screwdriver trying to yank one of the new curtain rails off the wall.

She’s clearly very upset about something… so naturally… the earth is being scorched. Nobody is safe, not Emma, not me, not my Mum, not the blinds, not the curtains.

Let’s listen in…

Susan
I don’t care if it hurts you or if you’re back to square one. I don’t care anymore. You destroyed me. I won’t be using them curtains anyway, I’m taking mine down this evening. I don’t want them. I don’t want them blinds. I can do whatever I want in my own room. And nothing you can do will say any different. Oh I will get a divorce John, oh I’ll grant you that.

Me narrating
(Splitting, Back and White Thinking) …And we go straight to divorce. This is splitting, or black and white thinking. In this moment she thinks of me as all bad. All I’ve ever been was bad. She’s rewritten my entire history with her and painted it black. There is no in between, it’s all or nothing. This is of course very irrational. One incident (which may not even be my fault) has resulted in 0 percent to 100% instantly. Splitting.

Me narrating
(Entitlement) Note how she’s claimed ownership of the master bedroom and the blinds and curtains in there. Entitlement. “I can do whatever I want”

  • Entitlement.

Emma
… but…

Susan
I won’t be lingering on. You can buy Emma, you can pay for her. She’s not worth anything to me anyway.

Emma
You’re not smart that you said that. You’re not smart when you get angry. So if you think you’re telling the truth, you’re actually not. You actually are not.

Susan
Really Emma? Really?

Emma
Really.

Susan
I don’t give a flying fuck about you anymore, not a flying fuck. I don’t care if you do well in school. I don’t care if you do well in sport. I don’t actually care about you.

Me narrating
(Lack of Empathy, Lack of compassion) And the splitting continues to Emma. She’s painted black now too. In this moment she’s all bad. Note the complete lack of Empathy for her. In this moment she is cruel and abusive to her. She has no compassion or love for Emma right now. She’ll get over it but now, due to splitting slash black and white thinking, here we are.

Emma
I care but I’m not going to care about you.

Susan
You might learn something from Granny Healy, how to starve yourself, yea.. she’s great at starving herself. That’s how she loses weight. And do you know what, Lucy looks ten times healthier than you. Because she eats normal food. You don’t eat anything. Get out of my room.
