It helps to write things down I find and so I wrote about the past few months and the treatment I've been receiving from someone who has leech like taken my time over the past nine years and then betrayed my trust in him. Enormous trust too. I like that they think that my contribution is worthless and that they can dictate what I am to do under threat that if I don't I'll be in trouble.
So, I wrote it down and looked at all the angles and I did a more thoughtful piece as I had done a angry rant a few days earlier. I always used to write when angry and get it out of my system and actually it often threw up a few home truths to be used in responses.
So I worked on it and provided balanced views and ideas and actually it helped yet again to review a possible way out for him and me. I was unsure about it all but the more I analyse it the more I come around to the view that what ever he may throw at me going forward can only be an unhinged response - there's nothing in the accusations to worry too much about I think.
So today I am a lot calmer than I have been and I am thinking more strategically in terms of what I can do about all of this. The main thing is that I let it run its course now. It has a life of its own and his attempts to derail it have come to nothing so far. I can't do much about it anyway but at least I am nowhere near as stressed as I was earlier this week.
