    Ive gotten emails/ letters or hone calls like that from exs too. I told them I was sorry they felt that way but what must be done, must be done. One of them kept persuing me so I had the police warn him to back off. Sometimes you gotta be cold.

    Stand strong, Hugo! I've seen manipulators at work before, and this woman is an expert at it.



    Stay away, stay far away. Remember how she behaved in person. Remember the words that left deep wounds. THOSE are a more accurate of her true colors than anything in the messages you posted. Abusers always promise to change. They lie.



    I know she's cutting your heart to shreds. That's what she wants. She wants to weaken your resolve, to reel you back into her clutches. Be strong! Try to not read the emails. They are her only way to get her hooks into you now, so she's using all her skill as a manipulator to haul you back in.



    If you do, she'll make you pay like you've never paid before.



    Been there, done that. The situation was different, but I still was escaping from a master manipulator. Eventually I created a new email account, new everything, and did not allow Them to get the new contact info. That might be a good plan of action for you, Hugo. Let trusted people (who have no contact with her, and/or will be strong when she harasses them to contact you) know the new addy, and kill off the old one(s)



    I truly wish you the best, Hugo. This is so hard, and I'm proud that you're fighting.

    Ugh. Too bad she can't walk her talk. I thought you weren't going to read these? LOL. Remember what I said about abusers doing everything they can to try to regain control of their victims.



    The past is the past; what seemed like a fairy tale romance, according to her e-mails? Was a life of living hell, control dramas, emotional and verbal abuse, jealousy, insecurity, etc. etc. etc.. So now that your ego has been fed with the "wanting them to want us back" part, stick to your guns, my man. The last month was hell trying to get out.... don't be even remotely tempted to go back, out of loneliness, or pity, or "love" (i.e., co-dependency.) This is why that counselor on the phone told you no contact; no e-mails or phone calls, no visits. IT'S A ******* TRAP, HUGO, and you know she is not emotionally capable of giving you what she professes. Stay strong, bud. This too shall pass... just be freeeeee!



    Notice how she drug Charlotte into it? In Sales & Marketing, that's referred to as "pushing the emotional buttons to close the sale". Somehow I don't think Charlotte ever felt truly comfortable around this woman; it was you she wanted to interact with. This level of neurosis cannot be 'controlled' or maintained in front of your child. The best thing to role model to your daughter? Is a healthy self-esteem, and ONLY healthy relationships. She's classic textbook; don't be classic textbook too, Hugo.
