One time I did hit her back eventually, but this is after we broke up. She showed up to get the rest of her stuff, and instead of showing up alone, she showed up with six people and jumped me. Stole my gun and my car keys. Yes the police got the gun back. When I was surrounded by them, I finally had had enough, you don’t take a motherfucker’s gun.

So I backed up towards my house and she kept following me and hitting me over and over, and getting worse and worse and I was holding this bright ass metal flashlight and I thought ”You know what? Fuck it,” and I cracked her in the side of the face with it. It felt so good. Before that, I never DREAMED I would hit a woman ever in my life, and I never will again... but I also never dreamed I’d date a complete monster like her who would hit me, either.

I’ve tried ignoring it. It doesn’t make a difference, she and her friends do it anyway. If I don’t leave the house, they park somewhere visible with their lights on so I can see them. They follow me around whenever I leave the house no matter how I react. I know she gets more out of it when I scare them by acting more aggressive, but if I don’t, they just do it anyway.

No offense but it sounds like you’re giving advice to a grade school kid who gets bullied… which by the way, if they don’t ever retaliate and try to ignore it, they just get harassed worse because there’s no repercussion for them or risk of a threat. That’s when they get bored, so what do they do? Escalate.

If you aren’t doing anything about it, they’ll think you’re afraid. They know enough about psychology that wether or not you show a reaction, you still feel it inside. They don’t need me to react or not, they know it’s damaging and they know what they’re doing would put anybody on alert. They don’t need a reaction.

Have you asked your boss what the name of the meat was? Tell him you liked it and want to get more so you can figure it out. I agree don’t call animal control unless it’s your last resort but also keep yourself safe … do you have a vet you can trust? Maybe talk to them or call one anonymously !

When I spoke with the priest he said this was outside his area of responsibility, and referred me to a separate party to handle the situation.

I'd like to think he sent up a prayer for me, but my faith has been more along the lines of 'to whom it may concern' rather than any specific deity.

I've got utmost respect for Christianity and anyone following any particular religion, but after my pastor called the FBI on me over a misunderstanding I've taken a step back from any particular faith. Read most of the holy books and came to the determination that for me personally? It doesn't seem to matter which one you worship so long as you do your utmost to not be a detriment to the world around you and if able, leave the world a better place than when you found it. Or it found you as the case may be

Jesus Christ.

Horrifying. Not being able to trust your own mind, your memories, being unable to tell anyone what was happening...

And normalizing it all, perhaps against your will. Still "loving" Peter despite everything he did.

Seems like your "Uncle" was something beyond human understanding. That bit about watching movies that hadn't been released yet...I don't know why, but that made me shiver.

This story really set my teeth on edge.

Bro, I was reading this and a reddit notification popped up with the sound and my heart stopped for a moment. I really wish you well through this. It's horrible whatever you are experiencing and may you be safe. Though, I was confused at the end. It could not be your wife and someone else at the door.
