IT's not you.

Why does everyone always use the phrase "it's not you"?
That 's what my husband said, the day after I caught him with the 'other' woman.
"It's not you Maggie, it's me. I'm screwed up".
Well, I'm not gonna argue that point.
But, I read back through emails and blogs, not from him, but from my friends and family.
I write how I'm at my wit's end trying to deal with my son.
What am I doing wrong? "it's not you, Maggie"
Why can't I do ANYTHING right, why does every single thing I touch seem to get screwed up?
"it's not you, Maggie".
I think it's the ghost. You know, when you were a kid and your dad would look at you and your brother and asked: Who spilled the milk, damnit?  It was neither of us, of course. So dad would always refer to some ghost we must have living in our house that always did the bad stuff.
So, if it's not me, and it's not them, I must have a ghost.
I am tired of you, ghost. You have haunted me for 33 long years now. Please leave me alone.
