So I had a meeting today. A meeting I have been concerned about for many reasons. It's me and my co-worker, plus M and L all sitting down to try and resolve the issues that have come up. Now I don't mind resolving issues but I was scared that 'The Husband' would be part of the conversation. I was coping with everything until 'The Husband' was mentioned. My co-worker also said that him not being allowed up was making her choose between work and him. My Co-worker also mentioned that maybe I don't have issues with 'The Husband' but maybe it's because I have issues with Men in general, and violence. Now granted I don't do well if someone is violent towards me I'll give her that, but issues with Men. I don't have issues with men I have issues with trust which is why I've not had a relationship with a guy since I was 18 (if you could call it a relationship). You can ask my role play partner (A little wave here because I know he reads this blog), it took me a long time to talk to him properly on yahoo and even longer to start talking about the problems I have in my life. I just don't trust very easily, and when I do trust I freak out that someone is going to break that trust.
I feel as though I am going to be asked, and pressured, into allowing him back up. Am I wrong to not want to see him again? Am I wrong to be scared of 'The Husband'? Should I allow him back up and just forget about how I feel? Should I pretend like the whole thing didn't happen? Maybe I should leave my job and look for something else, and some where else in the county, but I've just started the cogs moving to sort myself out. I don't think I could cope going through all that again. I must say that right now the back of my hand is really sore because I was scratching it during this meeting from the moment 'The Husband' was mentioned. It's a bit red and swollen, but I'm more concerned about what it will look like later. Since I am going away with my mother for four days and I really don't want her seeing it.
I am screwing up so badly, everything I touch seams to be turning to shit and crumbling around me. I honestly don't know what to do. I want to talk about it to some one but then I think that it's all in my head like so many other things that I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. I don't know what the right thing here to do is?!
Hang on: this man comes round to a single woman's house late at night and
starts banging on your door and shouting and generally being threatening,
and somehow this is your fault? This is about your
attitudes? Your co-worker needs a reality check!
