Wake Up Calls

Today I am thankful for wake-up calls.
 
 
It looks like my ex and I are close to a settlement.  He wants to divide the assets now and then go through the divorce process. 
 
 
I didn't agree with him because I figured it would be less of a tax liability to do it when things were finalized.  I don't know.  I'm trying to find a good paying job, one that will limit his pay-out. 
 
 
Things aren't going well. 

I don't want to say exactly how I know this but I caught my ex in a lie about the stalking.  He IS the stalker and his sister is playing along.  When I confronted him, he walked off and began talking about the divorce. 

It has to happen.  There is no other way!

The past couple of years have been hard.  When I recognized that I had feelings for someone else and that my heart wasn't dead, it literally hurt me. 

When he told me that he had feelings for me, the pain tripled.  At this point, I recognized that I was hurting him with my inaction. 
 
I stay here. 
 
 
I avoid my friend. 
 
 
I think my friend had a bad day today.  I can feel it.  It's horrible.  I just want to hug him. 
 
 
I can't. 
 
 
I can't because I stay here trying to do the right thing. 
 
Maybe doing the right thing
 
is the wrong thing. 
 
I guess I can survive on half the savings until I find a job.  Maybe I'll push this thing a little harder. 
 
Never ignore your heart.  It only leads to trouble. 

Love is rare. It's a gift that shouldn't be wasted. 

I'm an idiot.   
 
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
