So, one of my ex's contacted me a few days ago. This is the one who stalked me after we broke up (1 million years ago). I wrote back, and we have talked a little. While he is clearly still self-absorbed and screwed up, I have never wanted him to suffer and was happy enough to accept his apology. However, he seemed to have a view of me that was very much me as a victim, living in fear of him. It took me a while, but I managed come up with a way to explain my point of view: that it isn't that I was afraid, but instead that I was upset and frustrated, because there was no reasonable way to make him stop. However, I realize now that thanks to mefloquine side effects, there is a solution. I could have showed up at his place and screamed at him until someone called the police, and I could have done it every single time he contacted me. I think this would have solved the problem very quickly. I'm kind of wondering how he is going to respond to this explanation, as it was very emotional for me to write, and to me it reads like my voice in rising in volume throughout the message. I didn't intend to be menacing and even said at the end that I was over it now (and I left off the part about how he didn't have to worry about me showing up at his house with a shotgun). It will take me a while now to calm down. I'm hoping that I managed to get my point across.
