“I need to talk to you about mom - and what happened today. Her driving.”
I don’t want to harp on my wife.
Truly, I don’t.
But she is psychotic. She is not adverse to murder; attempted to garrote me, knife me, poison me, push me down stairs and drown me… among other things.
She used to tell me she wished that, when I flew on business, the plane would crash and kill me. When I pointed out that would cause the deaths of many people aboard the plane with me, she would just shrug and say “So what?” Today she is constantly either threatening to kill me in an automobile accident (thereby talking her own life in the process - only petrified she would somehow survive and be in a vegetated state - that scares her enough to keep her from attempting it); threatening to commit suicide (with the same fear as above); or recently telling me I should kill myself.
What does this have to do with her driving? Well, her favorite refrain while driving is “If I had a gun… “BAM!” these stupid assholes would get out of the damn way.”
Combine that with her complete disregard and inattention to the situation around her; the constant "site seeing” vs actual driving; a depth perception issue that creates scary moments when she really has no idea how close to anything she is and how fast she is approaching someone; and her innate ability to simply not care.
