Plans have changed. No text about strongman, so I didn't go. Got some texts last night from GRJ and she's having a bad time with her old man. He moved in a while ago, (same deal I tried with Viv years ago); he needed a place to live, she thought his paying rent would help her with the bills, etc. Long story short, he usually didn't pay, stayed much longer than agreed upon, and basically acted like a self-centered leach. Anyway, he went MIA for 6+ hours last night, and when he finally showed up around 2a, they got in a big fight, she told me it got physical (though I can't get any details out of her about that. If I find out he raised a hand to her... Well. Let's just say we're going to be having a conversation about that.), and he's now MIA again.
She called me this morning, crying, frustrated, and feeling completely alone. We talked (ok, she talked, I listened, because sometimes people just need to vent) for maybe an hour or so, by which time she'd settled down a bit. She has no good friends up there, no one to support her, no one in whom she can confide/unload. She's hit the point mentally where everything seems like it's falling apart, and every little thing just adds to the clusterfuck of suckage. She's been dealing with/struggling through depression almost as much as I have in the past, and right now, it's winning. There's no question about it, I'm going to be there for her. She needs someone, and I know that crowd with whom she associates - they about as worthless as people can get when it comes to being helpful/supportive. I think our talk really helped. I think just knowing that someone cares, and will be there when she needs it, made a big difference.
She's got a big delivery for her business today, and he was supposed to help her prep/load up for it. As he's still MIA, and completely unreliable, I told her I'd come up, bring my truck, and we'd get it done. I'm supposed to head up around 2p, and I'm planning on sticking around for a bit after, in case she wants to talk or just needs someone to hang with. I'd like to get back into town by 10p or so, so I can get to KT's party, but only if she's doing alright. If not, I'll stay up there as long as she needs.
She's such a great gal, she doesn't deserve any of this. I really want to see her succeed. I want to see her happy. Life's been unfair enough to her already, she deserves a turnaround. And she definitely deserves better than this asshole. I may not be able to do much, but I'll do what I can to make that happen.
