Yes we all know the saying. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."As much as I dislike conflict, because I really am a peaceful person, there comes a time when we all are presented with a situation (or two or three) that just BEGS for us to make a choice: you may not have asked for it, but nonetheless there it is; staring you in the face. Either stand up and fight, or roll over and play dead. If you choose the latter, with the exception of say you're being mauled by a bear, then you may as well be dead. My money is on the bear, sorry about your luck.
Well, I've been presented with a plethera of situations that a lot of people would've buckled from, under the stress. No rolling over here. I did have a hard time getting out of bed a few times though, but I always did (get out). As much as I have come to have a love/hate relationship with lawyers: they are a necessary vehicle unless you're in the mafia and can make your "problem" disappear. It sure is cheaper than a lawyer. My battles; there have been several. But never did I intend to lose the war. It's then that you realize that self-preservation, when you're under "attack" is the most powerful reflex that you have. Nobody makes us a victim unless we let them. My ex is the most destructive, vile freak I've ever met. He did his level best to decimate me; harassed me, threatened me-even with death, lied about me, robbed me, damaged my credit, lied in court about absolutely everything. But in the end, although it seemed insurmountable at times, the TRUTH came out. The Truth Is Absolute. And it's not about being right or wrong. Especially in a Court of Law; It's not WHAT you "KNOW"; it's what you can prove.
Thanks to his stupidity, big mouth, reckless abandon and his insane notion that he was/is "untouchable", he's about to get hit, and hit HARD. Will he ever admit the truth? No, NEVER. The hard copy black and white undisputable evidence, bank statements, the photos of travel and living large, (Thanks Facebook!) like a Rock Star while playing the "broke" card, choking me financially, a fraud bankruptcy plus so much more: ALL proven to be actual fact, complete with Fraud charges, and still he will deny. I will remain (in his twisted, entitled mind) the villainess for all things evil. He started this fight, fuelled it with greed and built it with lies. I finished it, and I did it with the TRUTH. I outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted him.. but his stupidity and arrogance made him careless, I have to admit that it did help.
A persons' weaknesses will always be their (eventual) downfall. There really are some people out there who's sole purpose is to cause misery to others. So troubled, are they, that they cannot, will not put anyone before themselves in their on-going efforts to achieve their "goals". Well, we all meet our match sooner or later. And it's really not about "winning". It's about standing up for yourself and for what's yours, and what you know is true, and never losing sight of that. And with all of this comes clarity and peace within. It may not come easily, or quickly, but nothing worth having ever does. And if you come out on the other side of the shit storm: then you MADE IT.
That peace is yours. You earned it. No need to seek recognition: the most intense battles are privately won. And to think, I managed to maintain some sort of personal life through all of this. It's been a tad chaotic at times, but I had some fun, lots actually. It can only get better now. I cut out the dead weight, definitely steered clear of any (extra) drama and gained a much better insight for seeing the "good" in some. Hope, Faith and Charity. I have come to know better, all three. I'm going to have a problem with "forgiveness". I've never been good with that, but I never said I was perfect. The moral of this story: Anyone hell bent on ruining someone else's life, seriously has mental health issues, but that aside: one must NEVER underestimate one's opponent. And when it's "game-on", never bring a knife to a gun fight.
