What is wrong with this woman and how can I avoid being sucked in? What was I thinking?
I met this woman on craigslist back in November when I lived in San Francisco. I was on CL one day to do research on employment and housing, and I got bored and drifted to the w4m section of curiosity. I was thinking of going back to NC about 3 hours from where I grew up, because my father died and my mother was alone. Considering how much I loved living in SF, I was reluctant, but thought I could give a shot a shot this spring.
Anyway, this woman and I made contact and we finished writing and talking on the phone almost every day for several hours. It seemed consistent with similar values, interests, and it seemed like we had the same vision ... I could go on ...
So, after weeks of "connection", she convinces me to go ahead and make the move a few months earlier than I expected. I've been looking at Salt Lake City just before Christmas and we were going to drive from there to the whole east coast. I go to Salt Lake and it never shows up, but the phone gives me the blame on a former boyfriend that she claims is stalking. Later, she decides to meet me in Tennessee. We spend two days together and it looks great. So after two days, she disappears into the air. I go to NC, where it already and I find a place to live. We ended up meeting again on New Year's Day and I spent the next 3 weeks with her because she tells me everyday that she will kill herself. So, I'm with her trying to nurse her through difficult times and listen to its restaurants and rave about her ex-husband and her ex boyfriend alll When I finally lead to a nearby town to spend time with an old friend, I give him a call and his cabin was broken into someone steals your computer, so I push because she is afraid and spend the night. Nothing has changed and is even more difficult and I become convinced that she is suicidal.
I fixed the broken door and try to keep calm. Then, when I see one, she calls the police on me. It turns out she is telling her friend that I am the one who broke into his cabin.I go home to heal my wounds, but for some reason, we keep in touch.
We met several times since, but shop around in the same cycle messed up. She convinced her friends that I am a thief and this season was a nightmare. Now I'm stuck here in this impoverished region and depressing with no friends in the middle of winter and there is nothing to do but stay here with my laptop and type questions s on this site. What was He thinking when I got here? I think she is bipolar or has an order of the borderline personality, which is not particularly rare these days, but why did not I go back to the early signs and why did I not even participate in this nightmare to begin with? She sent me an email threatening me. I just want us to separate us, but I know she'll remember. How can I avoid being sucked him again?
I recently read a question that is somehow your story, really amazing, could it be that the woman you're talking about on Yahoo Answers is that?
people attract each other based on their personality. they feed each other and feed each other, not only with love and attention, but also with pain and suffering. in a strange way they need each other and can not let go, maybe because they unconsciously think they need to be treated this way according to their beliefs self messed up.
I recommend the heart of the work of Byron Katie http://www.thework.com who works with people around the world with immense success with a method of swimple quite simply questioning your opinion (on life, about yourself, on the other). Once the unconscious thoughts are invesitgated, they are not more unconsicous and can not rule over. t.
