"Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man."
Hesiod (~800 BC), Works and Days

Or in my case, an entire family. Such is the insane malice of this woman that She has become a constant fixture of dread in all our lives. I go to extraordinary lengths to avoid her. She has driven away or made gun-shy even those closest to her. Her methods ( Read more... )

i lived with someone who exhibited behavior like this for 13 months.

it's sad that this is your mother and that this is a result of an accident.

and when i had to be in close proximity, placate.

i'll add you on my prayer list if you would like peace of mind.

Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier.

I was coping by not being at home, but now she's gone on holiday for a few weeks and given me respite. After that she'll be up in Maine for the summer. After that I'm out of there, so hopefully, calm will prevail for the next month and half.

Incidentally, if you don't mind my asking, was the person you were living with a romantic or familial relationship? How did things end up?

no worries on the delay...

it was neither romantic nor familial.

just friends/roommates with an insecure hyper competitive alpha male who needed to establish dominance at all costs.

i'm not one to stroke anyone's ego. moreover, stroking mine only arouses suspicion most of the time.

needless to say, it ended very very badly.

standing in my view
i will wait for it to rain
so that i can see you
you call me up at night
when there's no light passing through
and you think that i don't understan
but i do.

we don't say everything
that we could
so that we can say later
'oh you misunderstood'
and i hold my cards up
close to my chest
i say what i have to
and i hold back the rest

someone you don't know
is someone you don't know
get a firm grip boy
before you let go
for every hand extended
another lies in wait
keep your eye on that one
anticipate
