On The Air

Chapter 23

A few months later..

I have been happy with Harvey the past few months. The only thing I would complain about would be his sudden meltdowns. He has this fear that he's not going to make it since there's no more "Carol Burnett Show" or he's not being called in for anymore movies. One night we were sitting eating breakfast discussing the issue.

"Harvey..eat. Not eating isn't going to make your problems any easier."

"Carol, I just can't okay?" he grumbled.

I came to his side of the table and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Come on, cheer up."

And that's when he lost it. " Damn it Carol! I can't just relax I have to be working! I'm not ! I'm washed up!"

"Don't you dare say that Harvey! You know you have as much chance as the rest of us to be successful! Just please think of this as an intermission. You'll get something soon I promise."

My comforting didn't help him that much he threw his glass on the floor and stormed into the room slamming, and locking the door. I didn't know how to react. I was stunned. He never behaved like this. But really how inconsiderate of him to act like this when he knows I have to go downtown soon to sign divorce papers. This is a really difficult time and mentally he's not there with me.

So I left a note saying I would be gone for the weekend to visit my daughter. Please reason with yourself and me in order for me to return. And that's all she wrote..
