Bulletin. Wonder Rocks 2

Sequel to Wonder Rocks
Present Day


Wake up calls are generally a part of everyone's life: something happens that alerts a person to make a different choice or decision about the way they have been living. The "little boy" in Wonder Rocks 1 has been faced with his past behavior and his current behavior which has landed him in a homeless shelter and soon to face a judge. But, what about the vagabond lover he ran away with so many years ago? Yes, he left,  abandoning all others to partake in the "enjoyable sins" of drug abuse and family negligence with a woman of questionable character. What about her? What is she facing for her part in all of this?

Wonder Rocks 2

Once upon a time there was a woman with a past. Her past was a history of broken men that she had manipulated and used to her advantage. She had a strategy of sugar coated love laced with charm when she spotted someone who would believe her lies and feel sorry for her predicament. Soon she would hook them into her cycle of drug abuse and lying and stealing while looking like the perfect partner and lover. She could charm even the smartest man and turn him into a lovelorn, confused, deprived hapless horror story in a matter of months. Once he bought in there was no way out, the water just kept getting deeper until it was over his head and he was drowning in this so called "love". His only rescuer was her. Only she had all the answers he needed to survive. His role was to work and support her drug habit without fail as she manipulated every facet of his existence through sex, charm, tears, and neediness and the experience of living on the street and surviving. Her favorite line was, 'Oh,no, what do I do"? to elicit sympathy and a  need for rescuing by anyone who had caught her in a lie. It had been told that she did this countless times and had a reputation for destroying the families of these men as she went through lover after lover.

When the "little boy" now a man met her it was a dream come true. Everybody told him she was toxic and to stay away from her. "Don't go there, they said, she is bad news". But he wouldn't listen. This was the woman he wanted, no doubt in his mind. As we learned before in the story she was his choice because she would never put restrictions on him for his need for drugs because she like wonder rocks too. It became a drug partnership more than anything else. They ran from town to town trying to cover their tracks and just getting in deeper all the time.

There was one specific day that the whole story could be told if anyone was listening (which they were not). It was after he had been in the hospital for wounds from drug induced     hallucinations. They had been together for about a year at that time as nearly as I can calculate. She had her hooks in him big time and she wasn't about to let go. Her family was sending her to drug rehab in another state hoping to separate the two of them. Now the couple was in extreme panic because they had been found out and they feared being without each other and their source for drugs. They had a phone system where they called a third phone in order to reach out to each other. They used relatives as a contact messengers. The extremes they went to were extraordinary, all to protect their drug use. When the opportunity came up she would enlist his siblings and extended family as allies in her attempts to control him. This usually occurred when he was showing signs of leaving her or accepting treatment. She would convince them of her undying love and devotion to her wonderful husband and they fell for her convincing displays of affection. It was merely a tactic to keep her fool in line.

 On this particular day they were using my phone and for some reason instinct told me to listen in. I heard a conversation that actually made me want to vomit. I was actually listening to Satan in the Garden of Eden. I went weak and pale. In her sugary sweet little meek voice she said to him," You know I am a good person, don't you"? He offered a cool low "yes." "Well, she said, let me tell you what to do. When I go into treatment you tell them (your family) that you want to go to treatment and then you get in your truck and you come and get me and we will be together." At that point she started reminding him of all the fun they had when they were using together and that is all it took to wet his appetite for a long ride through hell which is still going on today. That was 6 years ago and the jig is up. The schemes and deceptions have been revealed. Will she pay for her deception and malign cunning? I sincerely doubt it. Right now she is the victim and is being protected by the law and she is taking full advantage of it. No one is going to look at what was underneath the obvious. 


Because he didn't listen and follow the advice of his friends and family, he definitely will pay the penalties and consequences for all of his actions and choices which is a must for his healing. He has a string of offences covering many years that he needs to admit to and get help for. This is the turning point and we all hope that he takes it.
