Anger

Today I am thankful for Anger.


I am livid. 

Long story short, I went to a political meeting and everyone wanted to know what my last name was. 

They saw my friend's declaration of love.  

They wanted the sordid details. 

They wanted to know if my divorce was finally final. 

Mums the word. 

I'm not happy...but my anger isn't with my friend. 

It is with Mike. 

After coming home, I asked him when we could file for that legal separation.  I want a firm date.  I want to know what he wants.  I had a lawyer offer to do everything for next to nothing if I could strike an agreement with Mike.

He said that if I wanted to try to form a relationship with my friend, he'd sign the papers.  He just doesn't know how to "separate" if I return to work and can't help with the kids.  The original plan was that he would have custody, the house and I would pay child support.  Then, he took a job with insane hours and the lawyers told me that I'd have to have custody. 

If I divorce and am under his control, it is still a controlling relationship.

I never got a straight answer from Mike about when to file.  For two hours, we spoke about the stalking, the sexless marriage, the verbal abuse, the financial abuse....and how I feel like my life is passing me by. 

Somewhere around 12:00 am, I was informed that he had married above his station in life and would never allow me to go because he'll never find anyone like me. 

Stupid narcissists...it's always about what they want and how they look. 

He apologized for lying to me all these years. 

Who the hell tells his wife he's leaving her, moves into the basement, promises to let her leave when he gets a job, and gets pissed when she tries to leave after keeping her end of the bargain?

I love my friend.  I'm going to either have to find $4,000 to get out of here or promise to never see him again. 

There's got to be another woman just dying to snap him up. 

I'm not sleeping at all.  

I hate Valentine's Day.  There's really no reason to be alone.  I found love.  I'm just too flipping cash poor to do the thing my heart wants. 

It's the thought that my friend is hurting that is killing me on the inside.

This hurts too much. 

I truly can't sleep. 

I'm on my own.   

I know this guy....he wants to save me.  You know, the better thing to do is let me save myself and let him take the credit.  I'll accept his advice...if it is face to face or over the telephone. 

My friends are telling me to get a new shrink and work out why I let a suicidal, raging, violent narcissist call the shots.

Hello?  Do the words "suicidal"....."homicidal"...."violent" ring any bells for ya?

Look, the crazies among us tend to control things due to their inordinate flexibility. 

I'm trying to set him up for a promotion across the country. 

If that happens the problem is solved.  Right?

Maybe if I go on strike and stop cleaning up after my ex.....maybe he won't have a reason to keep me around. 

We'll see. 

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe.   It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house.  I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling.  I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here.  It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve.  ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb.  The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear.  Fear that he won't honor hi...

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much.  People change over the course of their lives.  Healthy people grow.  Unhealthy people either stay static or regress.  So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies.  If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors.   I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories.  From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory.  A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory.  When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP.  My ex is a ESTP a...
