State Laws that Put Women at Risk

Today I am thankful that I investigated State Law.

Apparently, men who still live in the same home as their ex wives don't have to pay child support.

It doesn't matter if they contribute to the home or not.

It doesn't matter if they refuse to move out despite court orders.

All that matters is that they share your address.

This explains why he won't move.

I get it now!!

He's avoiding child support.

Interesting....

It would seem that the state is giving stalkerish men reasons to harass the ex and avoid moving out.

It all makes sense now.

I may have to get a contempt citation after all as he won't discuss moving out and refused to fill out the paperwork needed for mediation. I don't want to get a restraining order or site him for contempt because I'm not sure what harm that could pose for his future.

Why would the state have such a stupid law on the books? I thought if I started collecting child support, he'd see that I was serious about moving on with my life and move the heck out of my house.

He's not working. It's not like they can collect it. If I put him on the child support registry, he will qualify for job search help from the state.

I thought it would help me get him out of the house.

He is promising to move out within a week of getting a job.

We'll see.

He did file a Quit Claim deed today, so the house officially belongs to me now.

I can start repairing it now.

That helps.

Sigh....

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....

Time and Trauma

Today I am thankful for stories; they are often the easiest teaching tool. The other day I had an interesting conversation with a social worker. She complained that one of her patients was stuck at a certain year - let's say... 2008. This man talks about 2008 constantly. He shares photos of 2008 and letters of 2008. I asked her, what happened that year? Well, three members of his family died. His best friend died in front of his eyes. His spouse died. He lost his home. The man was wealthy. Sadly, the evil eye is real. Covetousness is real. The U.S. justice system enables abusive lawyers to swoop in and take control of the wealth of well-to-do elders. There were fights over his assets**. The lawyers threw him out of his numerous homes. The man was then homeless while everything went through probate and the relatives fought over the estate. His wealth ...

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...
