Bittersweet Day

Hi Everyone,

I know i haven't been around lately but i've had you all on my mind, i've just been busy and snowed under with a lot of feelings - not all pleasant by the way.

First of all, my sister got angry with me out of the blue because she thinks I should come home and take care of my elderly parents because of the MESS i CAUSED by bringing the narc into the family, who ended up ripping them off. We have since talked and she admits she has just been under a lot of stress, and all is well there.

Now, the worser part LOL: My ex narc got released yesterday. I can't believe it - but then again, now seeing how the justice system doesn't always work in the victim's favor, i'm not surprised.

I felt bad as when i went to clean out the rest of our stuff from the garage a couple of weeks ago, i found that one of our neighbors had probably found "the key i misplaced" after that crazy day with the cops, and cleaned out ALL his tools. On the one hand, I hurt for him but on the other, I need to remember that he put himself in that predicament by screwing over fuck ups who are just like himself and hold no love or loyalty for him.

Secondly, I heard from the girl in the county in where i left his truck (which i transferred the title back into his name again a week ago) that he was "there" at the moment gettiing his stuff. I never heard back from her so i assumed he "hung" around with them for awhile. On the one hand, I feel relieved that he hasn't tried to contact me anymore.

But on the other, confusing point, i have to say i am a little hurt --- does this make sense? LOL...Although if he is true to form, and i think he is, i believe there will come a day down the road when he starts obsessing about ME again, and i know i won't like it, but right now for some reason i am feeling the sting of knowing i never meant anything to him at all.

I have to remember that HE is the empty shell with nothing substantial to fill the void, and I'm not. but i would appreciate your good thoughts my way...

Totally understand this. He's out. Rut Ro Rorge... How are you handling him being out? If you need anything, you know where to find me. XO

It stings, it all stings.

It stings, it all stings. Eventually, it even stings when you are grateful for the peace of not being harassed and stalked and obsessed upon. It still stings. As difficult as it all is, I know I don't ever want to trade this peace that comes from his absence for being his obsession again. I know this because I have come to realize that this is a great reason for my laying low, being out of site and out of mind. I have heard all the same bullshit for years and do not need to hear it anymore. It is difficult being forgotten after all that I was, that I thought we were, but it is a peace that I fought for for a long time. It stings but the alternative is just deadly. almostlydia

TOTALLYLYDIA:)

You are totally right of course. I think i am just having a moment and learning to ride the waves as they say. On the other other hand, I am in a band where i hang with people who appreciate me for my talents and my humor. I have a good job and make great tips. I have a dog who is no longer afraid he is going to be kicked in the chest at the drop of a hat. I have MONEY....usually i reflect on those things, i guess when he was in jail i didn't have to reflect on the inevitable-ness of him getting out lol, and therefore having a reason NOT to try to contact me. I know it's better this way, and i wouldn't trade the sanity i feel now for even the first GOOD year, but tonight, it just rips me a new one inside for some reason. Thanks for your insight LML

And to sleep in his bed in

And to sleep in his bed in my room as he is supposed to and to no longer stare at the back door, always waiting for the appearance, and to hang with me and to not be in constant cowering position. almostlydia

And most likely there will

And most likely there will be more of these nights but you have to fight to keep things in perspective. It is a fight that gets easier as time goes on but I will admit, it still happens. It's a bitch. almostlydia

And besides ALL those things

NC IS the best way to go, especially if you choose different counties in which to live. It does fade away if you don't have to see his mug or all the places you used to go together in which you were made to feel shitty LOL LML
