I need cheering up. Good gawd.
I've been roundly berated and chastized the last few days by my ex over her lost opportunities due to her numerous arrests for Domestic Violence.

That is MY fault. Jeezus. Just shoot me now.

God Damn.

43. Glad she is your ex. You shouldn't have to live like that. I would stop talking to her if you don't
have kids together. I really would. Sounds like she is sucking the life outta ya from where she is now.

She was gone, I got rid of her. But she came back.

I'll deal with it again. I'm not sure how yet, but it is probably not going to be pretty. I DO have a limit. And then watch the fuck out! I don't take prisoners.

4. Uhm, if she was violent toward you, she has no one to blame but herself for that.
I know it's hard to do right now, but the best thing anyone ever told me was to hold my head up high and know I was in the right. In a situation where I was blamed for someone else's own actions, that was the hardest thing for me to grasp, but it was the best thing I ever learned.

17. Last arrest. Almost 2 year ago. Police have these pics. I think this is why she is so pissed now.





I don't know what happened. Somehow she got burned on this evidence. And the hospital records.

Fuck that shit.

33. So, what are my choices now? Since she is bringing this crap upon me again!
I have an extremely low tolerance for this kind of drama. She not only terrorized me, but my mother and my pets.

I don't know what the hell happened with her, but it had something to do with her having a criminal record. And that is MY fault. Jeezus!

I just don't know what to do at this point. My only few thoughts are to perhaps to contact her HR department, since she does contact me from work, and/or bust her ass in a mass email to all her friend, family, and work contacts.

I really hate drama, and just want to be left alone. But it also really pisses me off to be bullied too. I may explode!

God Damn!

36. Here's a hug for you...
:hug:

I would not do the mass email thing but if she is calling you at work, I'd first ask her in writing to stop that and explain to her if she does not stop then you will have no choice but to contact her boss at work. I think it's important that you first show you did ask her to stop.

37. I guess I did not explain that very clearly.
She is contacting ME, at my home, through her work account. I have already made my feelings very clear. I will not take responsibility or blame for her crap or Criminal Record.

I do not like drama or the mass email shit either. But I am wondering if that is my only choice. At least if her circle has my story, the Police reports, and pictures, she might be a little more busy dealing with that and them, and leave me the fuck alone.

I am tired of her playing the goddamned innocent victim. I want to smash that damned facade or hers. I've been too nice, and I am fucking sick and tired of it.

40. Have you checked into a PPO?
I'd think you would be able to get a personal protection order to keep her from contacting you or suddenly showing up in person.

47. The PPO expired after a year.
I have no idea what happened, but somehow her criminal record bit her in the ass, and now it is my fault.

That is why I suspect an email to her family, friends, and work contacts might be in order. With Police reports, pictures, and everything. It would get her off my ass. She'd have plenty to 'splain to others, not to mention it would embarrass the shit outta her.

Oh no, she would never show up here announced. LOL!

50. I'm sure you already know that no way is it your fault.
She may never realize that she is responsible for what she's done and will have to suffer whatever consequences come her way as a result of her previous actions. It's very typical of an abuser to never take responsibility for what they've done, to them it's always the recipient of their abuse who is at fault, either for "making" them do it or for reporting them.

If it continues I'd suggest looking into another PPO, especially since she's blaming you. With her prior record for assault against you, you shouldn't have a problem getting another one since she's contacting you.

51. So, are you saying I should not take this chance to shove it back?
I know it was not my fault. I know that is NEVER, EVER, appropriate to resort to violence. I was going to say, especially over stupid shit, but that does not even matter. It's just never okay.

I know she will never take responsibility. She apologized a hundred times, and in tears. And then did it again over and over again a hundred times. Always so remorseful, especially after a night sleeping on a jail slab.

But always, the apologies and tears were qualified by somehow I made her do it. Fuck that. And somehow, all this time later, her record is causing her trouble. Fuck that shit too. She is playing the poor innocent victim.

I'd like to put a rest to this crap very swiftly and succinctly. She counts on me being "too nice". I could ruin her in one felled swoop. And I am seriously considering that.

I do have a limit.

52. My concern is that if you do a massive email that it may anger her to the point that
she may look to you to take it out on. At least with a PPO, if she's forbidden to email you or call you, it might stop her. IMO, her being bold enough to contact you to blame you could be looked upon as another threat since she's hurt you in the past.

56. She is not going to show up on my door. LOL! She knows better!
I have the emails if necessary.

Honestly, I think the best and quickest way to cut her off at the knees is to send an email to a few select people, with pics and Police reports. Including her HR contact. She is firing the shot, and I am not "nice" anymore. I am tired of this crap.

I am very patient, but I have a limit. Then, watch the fuck out!

59. Here's what you do:
Edited on Sun Jan-18-09 06:36 PM by Tangerine LaBamba
Having worked as a volunteer attorney for battered women, I have a few suggestions for you, but you are the one who will have to take the steps:

1. No more contact with her, not even to warn her off;
2. No more contact with her - did you hear what I just said?
3. NONE;
4. Assemble dates and times of the phone calls, if you can. Your phone company can help you with that;
5. Get the name and address of her immediate supervisor;
6. If you can't find that, get the name of the CEO or president or whomever is in charge;
7. Put together a letter - not angry, not hysterical, just stating the facts (with dates of the police calls and the convictions) - and explain what your ex has been doing, using the company's phones;
8. Enclose copies of whatever documentation you have about these matters;
9. Enclose copies of the photographs you posted here;
10. Mail it, snail-mail, certified mail, return receipt requested.
11. Call your phone company and tell them you're getting these phone calls from this person at this number, and they'll tell you exactly what to do;
12. Stay calm.
13. Do all this right away.
14. Remember that you're right and she isn't.
15. Make sure everyone you know is informed about these events.
16. Good luck.

21. You're too god damned good
to even bother talking to her. Next time she calls you, tell her that the party you have reached is too indifferent to come to the phone. You can, and should be doing, better than her. I'm sure the curb's within kicking distance for her.

23. Yeah, I did kick her out. 'Bout 18 months ago. She had to live and sleep in her car, LOL!
Something happened recently. I don't know what. But apparently it has something to do with her arrest record, and that is MY fault.

She's lucky I am not a violent person. Otherwise she'd be missing her head.

On an amusing note, my pets KNEW. They kept pissing on her side of the bed!

OMG, she'd get so mad. :rofl:

NO pissing "accidents" since I kicked her as out. Pets are not stupid.

22. I have nothing to say that will make you feel better, but I can empathize.
If I had any wisdom about such matters, I probably
wouldn't have been where you are as many times
as I have been.

As I am now.

All I can say is that EVERYONE ONE OF US is horribly flawed;
when you open your heart wide enough to recieve LOVE,
you open it wide enough to let just about everything else
wash in with the tides.

That's the risk we take with the deal we make that we call "love".

That "love" thing has ended my entire life 3 times now, by my count...
I'm currently 40 and starting over again with a cot in a friend's basement
that I leave to go to part-time a minimum-wage job, and i just gotta say:
I REGRET NOTHING.

The memories of the bad bits fade fast, but the FEELINGS
of the special moments never fade at all.

I've lived small and tight, but I have LOVED LARGE,
and I've gotten my ass kicked every single time (So far).
But it was worth it every time.



I know you're dealing with a really tall pile of shit right now,
but there's a secret to dealing with tall piles of shit:
Don't bust your back trying to MOVE it; don't bust your wallet
paying for storage...

You spend about 5 minutes a day tending the edges with a flat shovel,
and sooner or later you'll look out your window at a good hard rain
that dissolves it and washes it away.


Richard

25. Are you being complimetary or SARCASTIC?
Either way, I don't care.

When it comes to MEMORIES, MAGIC lasts and grows forever;
PAIN fades and HISTORY doesn't have PAIN on the guest list.

Every time I have ever sensed the presence of 'Love',
I have immediately SPRINTED to the end of my penis
and leapt off with my eyes closed.

It's been a series of wild rides that have taken me everywhere,
and kicked me to the curb at age 40, toothless and dead broke.

I wouldn't trade one minute of my life for 100 million dollars.

28. I was not being sarcastic at all. I really thought your words were very thoughtful and profound.
I am very sorry if my response sounded dismissive.

I did love her, very much, but it is too hurtful now for me to articulate here.

I have no bones to pick with you. And I am very sorry that I offended you.

Gawd, I'm just having a bad day.

84. You never came close to "offending" me, so there's no need to apologize...
I'm kinda slow when it comes to "people issues",
so you never came close to offending me, you just
kinda bordered on "making me wonder".

I intended my first comment to be "thoughtful",
seeing as how I spent some time thinking about it...
but "profound"?
Wow, I'm blushing right now.

I've been a lot of places in my 40 years,
seen and done a lot of stuff, and a lot of folks
have thrown a lot of adjectives my way.....
this might be the first time I've ever been on the recieving end of "PROFOUND".

What do I do? Do I just say "thank you" and log off,
or is there some sort of ceremonial phrase required to respond to 'profound'?
Do I need to come by your house and kiss your ring?

If that's what I need to do to make you GRIN for a moment,
then I'll do it.

Life is SHORT, but PAIN is even shorter in our memories.
You had good times with that person- times that no one else
in history ever had. Don't mourn the fact that there won't
be any more of them, rejoice in the fact that you had them
while six BILLION human beings went without.

86. I did think your first response was very thoughtful.
I am apparently a little slow when it comes to "people issues" too. I can see that my response could have come across as dismissive and rather cool. I apologize, because it was certainly not personal nor intentional.

Yes, I agree that my response could make you "border on wondering" whether my response was honest or snarky. I apologize, and I did not have any intention to diss you. I am sorry.

LOL! You make me laugh. You do have some profound things to say, in your own experience and fate given right to repeat your experiences.

Naw, you don't have to come and ceremonially kiss my ass or my ring. No.

But tell you what, if you cross my way, I'd better get a PM and a meet-up. Otherwise .... well.. I may take away your birthday!

27. Allow me to berate you instead.
Lil Miss, you were sleeping with an idiot!

Yup, its ALL YOUR FAULT because YOU SLEPT WITH AN IDIOT.

The woman is a complete moran, and you SLEPT with her. Repeatedly. More than once.

Here she is, a complete imbecile, and you slept with her. You probably even LOVED her.

Obviously, her complete lack of character and basic common decency were problems you should have ignored. The fact she has a criminal record because of criminal behavior has nothing to do with her -- your Secret Mind Control Power (where you took her over and forced her to behave badly, also preventing her from leaving before she could raise a hand in anger) is legendary, and now we all know you are a Super Secret Weapon that our enemies should be really afraid of because, It Is All Your Fault, You Powerful Magic Person.

(Do I need to put sarcasm tags in here?)

Seriously, you were sleeping with an idiot, so the reason its your fault was that YOU DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WAS AN IDIOT!!!!

:argh:

Feel better? LOL!

31. They are doing great -- my son is a monkey,
and is scaring the beejeezus out of me by climbing on dressers, tables, counter-tops -- you name it. They are almost 23 months old now, and he will chant 'Get Down! Get Down! Get Down!' while he's doing it.

My daughter prepared her first meal yesterday while I was showering/Daddy was watching her. She got into my spice drawer (how can she reach it?) and then poured a bunch of them into the crock-pot (in its cupboard). Then she put the spices away in a better/more accessible drawer. If she hadn't left the crock-pot cupboard door open, I might not have noticed immediately.

They're good. Very, very, very good! LOL! I am *SO* screwed!

32. OMG, has it been that long?
I recall the days when my son gave me a damned heart attack on a daily basis. Playing Superman or bonsai through the house all the time. He landed on his face against a corner of the dishwasher once. A call a work, and several stitches required.

And that thing about being able to fly down the basement steps. Gawd, talk about gray hair. I had that blocked off like Fort Knox. Only time he ever saw the basement was when I grabbed him by his pants and practically threw him down there, cause a tornado was shaking the whole house.

Oh yeah, you are *SO* screwed, LOL!

Did I mention the time he "helped" with laundry, and poured a whole bottle of Tide into the dryer and turned it on High? *groan*

I am so glad you are not in that situation now! Seeing your bruises made me angry and sad at the same time, and just at a loss for why people can be such meany jerk faces.

45. Yep. I MADE her do it.
I never knew when, what, how, or why.

No sorry necessary. I was an idiot.

Ya know what was really telling and poetic. My pets alway knew when she was building a tirade before I did. My dog would camp on my feet constantly, or insist upon being in my lap. The cats would go piss on her side of the bed. LOL!

Sure enough, the pets were right every single time. Shhhhh! That's a secret!
