Yes. That..."The least I can do is worry." Yes. That's so familiar -- the narc-induced guilt that turns concern for the loving people in one's life into a weapon against oneself, through the feeling that love implies a duty to agonize on the loved ones' behalf.<br /><br />- GKAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855431321052371348.post-92178577132666374952011-06-29T21:55:46.492+02:002011-06-29T21:55:46.492+02:00Maybe there will have to be a trial in which all t...Maybe there will have to be a trial in which all these things will be said openly.<br /><br />Or I'll write a story about one. ;)Pronoia Agapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818746040570182407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855431321052371348.post-13847374902779783142011-06-29T21:54:47.442+02:002011-06-29T21:54:47.442+02:00Interesting idea, GKA.

I have some written "proof" and many witnesses and the fact that we've invested so much pretty much indicates we were operating under the assumption that it is ours. We agreed to make the switch legally too, and contacted a lawyer, but he backed out when he realized he had to pay a tax. The lawyer would testify, I'm sure. If he tried anything, it would look like he waited for us to redecorate the apartment and make it great and then take advantage of that to switch again - i.e. it would NOT look good. We have pictures to prove what we did to the place. We have witnesses of the previous state of the apartment, including previous tenants, whom he treated horribly and who'd surely testify.<br /><br />I have no real reason to fear.Pronoia Agapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818746040570182407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855431321052371348.post-63052703505835459832011-06-29T21:49:38.191+02:002011-06-29T21:49:38.191+02:00And thank you, Anon. :)And thank you, Anon. :)Pronoia Agapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818746040570182407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855431321052371348.post-59152732378375045792011-06-29T21:49:17.599+02:002011-06-29T21:49:17.599+02:00Thank you, Ruth!

If I'm not "good enough" to NF and the worst case scenario happens, then I'm to blame for my FOC losing our home! The least I can do is worry! It's sick. There's no indication he'll evict us. It's just the worst case scenario, one pointed out recently by my FIL, who insists I need to be nice to NF or we can lose our home.Pronoia Agapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818746040570182407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855431321052371348.post-66501171799522900902011-06-29T21:15:05.996+02:002011-06-29T21:15:05.996+02:00Congratulations.

No wonder you were having kind of an existential Herxheimer reaction. <br /><br />Re legalities, in a normal business relationship this might be one of these times to write down the existing oral agreement in a letter and say you will presume your understanding of the agreement is correctly stated unless the other party advises you otherwise. But of course a narc will feel bound to "correct" any such description for the sake of pride, so don't know if this is a good idea... Just for the back of your mind maybe.<br /><br />- GKAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855431321052371348.post-83031703628654688432011-06-29T19:29:18.566+02:002011-06-29T19:29:18.566+02:00Good for you!

Once that is gone they loose much of their power. Congratulations for creating a beautiful well lit home.

You soun...Congratulations on your beautiful home! <br /><br />You sound optimistic, but there is also some fear in your writings. He knew you were going to do this - I don't think any evicting threats would be triggered by this, right? What do you have to prove you made the agreement? <br /><br />You have all kinds of witnesses; do you have anything on paper? Oral contracts are legally valid contracts all the same. In many countries, once an oral contract has been honored for a certain amount of time, it because a statutory contract that holds up in court. How is the situation regarding this?<br /><br />The other thing - worry is a choice, while fear is a signal. The very fact you are worrying about this for a long time now means that nothing happened so far. Until there are real indications it will come to an incident (even narcs send them!), stop worrying and enjoy your home. <br /><br />NLRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
