Eureka

Today I am thankful that I KNOW why I keep running away from the man I was seeing.
 
I don't trust him any more. 
 
- I don't trust that he won't threaten me.  He does.  He plays games with me.  He threatens to report me to Facebook for innocent posts (even when I've blocked him). 
 
This has caused me to stop posting to Facebook.  The lack of Facebook posting is harming my job search. 
 
- I don't trust that I can take my time and enjoy intimacy without him either complaining about my technique or telling everyone he knows.
 
This has caused me to hold back. The over sharing about his feelings has already cost me at least one professional relationship.  


He literally runs to Facebook with everything.  It's upsetting.


Worse, his mother called me a Wiccan.  How does she know? 

I'm not Wiccan.  I'm Pagan.  It's not the same thing!
 
- I  don't trust him not to pitch a fit if I don't spend every Friday night and Saturday morning with him.  It has cost me one job....one. 
 
I don't know that I want to carve out that time anymore.  If I want to rebuild my life, I'm going to need to do stuff for myself on the weekends. 


*****
 
I am debating cutting him lose so he can find someone else.
 
- He wants a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. 
 
Right now....I want to clean up my world, get organized, so that I can pounce when the right opportunities come along. 
 
I'm not sure if I want to write about what he did that sent me packing. 
 
He claims I can talk to him about anything...but in reality, I can't.  He wants to control the atmosphere.  That means, I can't talk about heavy things. 
 
So.....I have to solve problems on my own.
 
I don't think he'd listen to me if I told him.
 
I don't know....
 
I think there is some wisdom in being alone until you rebuild your life. 
 
This is probably what I need to do. 
 
It's going to hurt but I don't think I can tolerate it.   The games drive me nuts.  The games make us incompatible. 


I'm not myself around him. 


Maybe that's it.  Maybe I need to find someone so uncritical that I can actually be the playful person that I truly am. 




****
One of the problems with breaking up is that I don't want my ex-husband to think he won.  He has forbidden me to see this guy.  If I break up, it's because I don't want to be dominated.  It will have nothing to do with my ex's complaints about him.


I feel happier when I think I can be free from the complaining.   Maybe the best way to do that is to break up. 


I'm still processing it.


There are plenty of women in the world.  I'm sure any man can find another.
 
 
Love ya,

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....

Temporary Ending

Dear Readers: Over the past three weeks, I attended both a city councilperson's town hall and the mayoral town hall. Despite battling the flu, I dedicated two days to watching all available city council meetings and study sessions on YouTube in between bouts of cold chills. What I observed was a troubling pattern of disregard for honesty and disrespect towards citizens, the rule of law, and the influence of partisan politics. It has become evident that certain issues transcend the scope of a mere community art project. This realization prompted me to raise my voice, a departure from my usual composed demeanor. After discussing the situation with my family, we collectively decided to remain in Aurora. It is clear that true leadership entails making tough decisions rather than simply following personal desires. I look forward to the opportunity to address these concerns further in a different forum. Warm regards, S.  P.S. There will be a new website.

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...
