I Blew It

Yes, I broke NC :(

Last week I lost my Father due to Parkinson's disease.
He had been quite ill for the last two years so I know he is in a better place.

When I was with my family I thought I was okay with everything, but being back home this week , and returning to work last Monday, I was alone in my grief. Not a good place to be.

My mind is all over the place.

Some of the people I deliver to had been told where I was by the driver that covered my route, and they have been very kind and understanding.

When I was at my ExN's work I told myself not to say anything about it, but of course I didn't listen to myself and I told him.

There was total silence and then he smiled? I think he was glad I hadn't been on vacation having a good time. He is an ass.

Here's where I messed up.

Yesterday I was stopped at a red light and so was he. As ridiculous as this might seem I sat there thinking, wave, don't wave,what the crap do I do?

I waved.
I didn't think he waved back, so I felt like an idiot plus I was mad because he's the a hole and I was being nice.

Without giving it any thought whatsoever I texted him,(Unfortunately I know his number by heart).
"What, you can't wave back?" (That's me being mean)

I thought he would ignore it, which would've been better, but he texted me back,
"You must be losing your sight, as well as your mind."

I realize that I'm not at all myself right now, but what the heck is that supposed to mean? I don't get it.

Is it suppose to be funny, cause I feel kind of crazy and I feel like he's trying to make me think I am.

Maybe I just think too much.

So there you have it Ruby01 is back at 1 day NC and very sad for a lot of reasons.

This is what he says and does

This is what he says and does after you lose your dad? Please stay far away from this asshole. He's a bad guy. They're all bad guys, these types. Sure, they're disordered. We can pray for them to get better...to come to God...to get professional help, etc. But, keeping our distance is key to keeping our peace and sanity. I am sorry you lost your dad, too. Please accept my sympathies. {{hugs}}

sounds like the same exact

sounds like the same exact phrase that my ex could have said. he was always making statements about me losing my mind.... I am sorry for your loss...I think that loss makes you more vulnerable. Try your best to find creative outlets to keep your mind occupied. I know easier said than done. I keep blowing my NC, but he is not responding to me and it is helping make the transition of not having him in my life easier. I am sorry that you have to see him on a regular basis. That would be hard. Can you change routes? Do you deliver to his work daily?

I can't bid on another route until 2 years from now. He does all the ordering supplies for his work. So he has control over if I go there or not. Sometimes he will order things to be delivered daily and then sometimes he will not order anything for 3 weeks. It definitely coincides with whats going on between us. Total control in every way.

That is a bummer! Well if it

That is a bummer! Well if it were me, I'd put on my best attitude. Try and look unphased and put together when you have to go to his work.

I really was

kicking butt up until this week because I had something much more important on my mind. Three months has always been when he starts hoovering, and I can see it happening, so I need to get my act together quickly.

I am so sorry for the loss of

I am so sorry for the loss of your Father. My deepest sympathies to you and yours........... I doubt very highly that he waved. You didn't see him wave, you are probably correct. You aren't going crazy. He took that opportunity to turn it around and try to convince you that you must be going crazy..........you know the term for that right? You learned it in Narc 101............. He is calculated for sure. Mine did it to me all the time.............as I was reading your post, I thought to myself, yep, he would have said those exact words! Hang in there! And Ruby, NEVER doubt yourself or let him make you doubt yourself. Hey, so your back to square one, worst things could have happened. Better to be 1 day NC then 0 days NC and with the asshole............

Sparrow,

Thank you. You are so right. Everything he does is calculated. One big mind f@#k! It took him a while to respond. He probably had to think about it awhile.
