LOL Vanilla. I have to be so very careful these days. I know this is NOT the time to stand up for myself, yet I find myself doing it more and more frequently. Now that I've found my way out of the cage, I don't like going back in - even if I know I have the choice of going in or out. I hate that cage!
But I need to stop. He is dangerous. He is getting more cruel. I'm not backing down on the ONE thing that really defines him - money - and it is making him crazy. He really believes I am "out to get him" because I'm insisting on a fair settlement. He believes fair is nothing for Anc. He finally came up with something that almost killed him, but it was about half of what I believe I'm due. He is so angry with me for declining that offer, I know he's working on something sneaky.
Mouse, Judy, mouse. I need to stay hidden, quiet, and bite my tongue until it bleeds if necessary. I am not dealing with a nice person. I'm dealing with one who means me harm. My flashes of independence are so hard to resist...until he explodes, and then I'm terrified.
