    Well this is my little update. I blocked him on myspace and Facebook. We both share a love for Superman and it's a major hobby so we are both on a forum where we have made many friends.

    He hasn't posted much but then about a week ago or so he posted to another mutual friend congratulating her on becoming an aunt. I was crushed. He was showing her kindness and humanity and here I was "the love of his life" and he showed me nothing.

    I am ashamed to say that he has some pictures of me... you can imagine the kind. They aren't on a camera, they are actual photos. Some of the feelings with the assault from time to time are feeling icky and dirty and when I remembered those pics were out there, I felt more gross. I wanted them gone.

    I don't think he would post them on the internet, but I wanted them gone... for me, for my piece of mind. So I sent two texts which went unreplied. So the idiot that I am, I sent two emails (days apart)... just saying that I would like those photos to be destroyed and somehow to let me know that they were... for my piece of mind. No reply.

    So that was enough for me. I removed myself from the forum, deleted his email addy, deleted his cell phone number and sent him an email telling him that from his actions which was all I had to go by, we have been over for a while... but I was saying it for myself.

    I also mentioned that no one deserves to be treated that way, much less after they have been assaulted and now it was time for ME.

    A few days later, I got a box, filled it with everything he gave me. His ring, jewelry, clothes, lingire, pictures that he sent me, knick nacks... you name it. The box was 8 pounds and shipped back to his happy @ss in Texas.

    I am still bummed. Sometimes it hurts a lot. Sometimes I want to call him, but I don't. I don't want to email him, I don't want to text him, and I won't. I did what I had to do.

    I am surprised, but then I shouldn't be. I can't believe he couldn't let me know about the pictures... what a jerk!

    Any thoughts?

    I'm becoming one tough cookie!

    Hi!
    The guy s an idiot. And I'm sorry you had to leave a site that you enjoyed.
    As for the photographs fingers crossed nothing will happen.
    Good of you to return his things I think I would have just given everything to a charity shop but that's me.
    You know you will get over this-with time.
    Just keep looking after yourself and yours-take care.

    I sent them to him to make a point. Not so much to him, but for myself.

    In regards to the pictures, I would have been more than OK with a message from him.. or from him asking a friend to tell me "they're gone", that's all it had to say...

    But no, he wouldn't do that much.

    Yah it's a bummer about the site but after seeing him congratulate our friend when he can't show me that same kindness and I was the love of his life (his words) and was assaulted was a HUGE slap in the face...

    So to save my dignity, I left.

    I am glad that you got rid of his things. It doesn't really matter how you did it, just that you removed one more reminder of him.

    How is therapy going?

    It's going OK. I'm still bummed that I have no answers, but it's better than before. Tomorrow is my birthday, so I am a bit bummed.

    I still can't believe that he didn't tell me a word about those pictures.

    I think you may end up with his silence being the only answer you get.

    If I don't see you tomorrow, I hope it turns out to be a happy birthday. :)

    I miss my ex sometimes, but honestly its only fleeting.

    I think about her actions, manipulation and some of the hurtful stuff that came out of mouth. And how I put up with all of it.

    To know at the end of the day that she didn't really give a rats a$$ about me.

    We don't deserve that.

    Happy Birthday Just Law! You don't need the guy. There will always be someone else. Meanwhile, do you think your brother-in-law tried to sexually assault someone else before or do you think he will do it to someone else? If you have any concern, you may need to talk to the police. If you think you should keep your mouth shut so your sister won't get hurt or there's a chance that your sister will shun you instead, think about many others that your brother-in-law will hurt. If talking to the police maybe too difficult than talk to social service. Just because your brother-in-law says that he will never sexually harass you again doesn't mean he won't do it to others.

    The polite thing would be to thank him, however, I don't feel particularly polite where he is concerned.

    I hope you are ignoring him.

    And now it gets... I don't know what it gets...

    But that forum that I was on that I left... well I got the strength to go back on yesterday and am OK.

    So not only did I get an email from him today... he goes on the forum and starts a happy birthday thread for me...

    What the heck is going on?

    Weird.

    Doesn't sound cool or honest.

    Just messing with your head.

    Don't let him.
