When The Ex Gets Into A Mess…Who Does She Call?

The call came in at three forty-five am and Joel Diskin was not anxious to take it. He was sound asleep and when he saw the number on the call display, he knew it was trouble. He counted to ten hoping the ringing would stop but predictably it didn’t. ‘’Hi Gloria, what’s going on?

She started to indulge with him in both drinks and drugs. She had never dropped acid or got so drunk she didn’t know where she was but it was starting to happen on a regular basis.
