A Place to Document the Abuse

 
Today I am thankful for having a place to document the abuse.


I was trying to speak to Mike to work out the details of the separation.  I want to know who lives where, when we should officially separate, and what we need to do before that happens. 

He started off talking about how he didn't want me to work.  He told me that he didn't like the way other people treated me.  He didn't like them making me carry heavy boxes.  Then, I'd come home and have to carry heavy boxes. 

I don't know. 

The conversation turned to the fact he wants me to have a traditional job first before filing for a divorce.  I told him that I was afraid to hold a job when he lived with me.  He likes to meddle with my work.  He threatens to take spark plugs out of my car.  He yells at me when I talk to my boss and he recruits friends and family to harass me at work.  I've lost quite  few jobs due to his shit. 

When I told him that I was terrified to hold a job he knew about.  He started to rage. 

He said:

"You don't want to work!" 

Sigh...

I want to work.  I don't want to deal with the stalking and harassment.  In fact, I work now.  I clean up after him.  I make stuff to sell online.  I work as a community activist and build websites for political campaigns.  I'm trying to build a skill set so that I am employable. 

How dare he call me lazy!

I'm thinking he was the one that told people that I didn't want to work.  A city attorney told me he said that numerous times.  His mother told me he said that.  Maybe he did.   It's just like a narcissist to refuse to let you hold a job because he fears you will leave him while running around claiming you are too lazy to work. 

So...now I know exactly what I'm dealing with. 

It gets weirder. 

He's trying to convince me that his sister is stalking me without his knowledge or consent.  I do not believe it. 

Every time he claims to confront her, weird things happen.  He'll say he called her and she'll try to break into the house.  He'll contact her on Facebook and she'll Tweet that she is hanging around my house.  He'll write about what happens on Facebook and the back door lock gets mangled. 

We had an agreement that he was NOT to do anything to bring her attention back to me.  He was not to contact them in relation to me. 

Well, today he told me that he went to Facebook and wrote that Shannon and Doug were stalking me.  He detailed what they did in the past two years and claimed that I was the one who described what they looked like and could identify both of them and their vehicles from photos. 

Members of his family are Facebook friends.   Now, they are talking about breaking Shannon and Doug up.   Guess who is going to get the blame for that?

He did this on Tuesday.  It usually takes Shannon about ten days to get around to threatening me after someone brings her attention back to me. 

I know what has to be done. 

I can't believe he still thinks he's going to stay married to me. 

Yikes. 

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.  We ran into her at a Wal-mart in 2005 and my keys went mi

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 his financial

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 and when he is stressed out
