I never used to understand why when something emotionally upset me, I'd start furiously cleaning the house, regardless of how I was doing physically. Once I discovered my DID this was another piece of the puzzle to fall in place. It sounds as if your ex has a strong sense of entitlement. Of course she wouldn't simply tell you how she felt! Why should she have to? You're supposed to be tuned into her every thought and need. How selfish of you not to be! Wow, she sure has a way of attempting to make everything your fault.

You almost, mind you I say almost, have to wonder just how bad off she is if her reality testing is that far gone. Not that it's an excuse since evidently she's not actually psychotic or anything but it's getting there - she evidently really believes you should be capable of mind reading. On the 'bright' side, she has set herself up to come back to earth with a resounding thud later... there's only so far you can manage to stretch the whole 'i'm in a worse emotional place than you' theme before it snaps. Clearly, if she has the energy to stew over that theme for a whole week she's not that badly off - last time I checked manipulation was not a symptom of depression.

I do not know what it's like there-but it sounds different. No one I know would call me at 4 a/m. It's kind of an odd sort of thing-I've been alone now for over 10 years. At first I was not pleased about being alone-then I got really lonely,and then loneliness set in...and then,it sort of seems it got okay for some reason. It's not so bad being alone as much as it once seemed and I'm better with it. I will be honest-although I hope she never comes back...but my 'rattlesnake bride' has no idea how much I loved her and how we could have had a good thing with each other. Except she could'nt think well enough unless she vacuumed down a quart of whiskey...and then she really lost touch. There were aspects of her that I miss a lot and think about...ahhh,well-all is well. Just hope she don't ring me at 4 a/m. I appreciate your compliments on my writing. Makes me feel like a million bucks-yup,it really does! I enjoy reading what you are saying to-and I'm glad you are feeling better! wink whew…what a story.
