Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest.
Instead, I’ve just spent roughly 6 hours, going through old emails, video and image files, and transcribing voice mail messages.
I’m not quite done, but that’s it for digging through old stuff.
If all goes well with my mom’s car tomorrow, I’ll be heading to court to file for a restraining order right after, and hopefully the psychiatric evaluation, too.
Transcribing the audio files was the most draining. I’d forgotten about some of the horrible things our vandal had said about us. Worse was having to listen to bits, over and over again, to try and transcribe things that were almost gibberish. Likely, he was drunk. There was some pretty crazy stuff in there. My guess is, he has Paranoid Personality Disorder.
To think, he’s been leaving messages like this, and worse, with my mother for almost a decade. Not about me all that time, of course, but other stuff. I’m just the first person who’s in a position to do something about it.
The last thing I want to do is write an impact statement. I don’t even know if any of this will be needed. I was selective in printing out old emails between me and my family that documented some of the crazier stuff – I even have some that predated our move! – and still ended up with a stack an inch thick. Granted, that’s with lots of formatted spaces and larger fonts, but still. The package for the restraining order is much, much smaller, but when it comes to applying for a psychiatric evaluation, I’d rather have more available than less, even if they don’t end up needing it all.
For now, I’m taking a break.
It’s time for a big pot of tea.

Like my situation, hopefully you’re in the end game at this point and he’ll be locked up for everyone’s own good. If not, remember what I said about how all that acreage could be put to use. 😀

I just want him to get the help he needs. He won’t do it voluntarily. He thinks he’s the victim of all this while I, to use his words, am a fat, lazy, evil liar who is conspiring against him. *sigh*

THAT is exactly what makes him dangerous too. He’s got a martyr complex on top of everything.

Yup. No matter how many people have tried to explain it to him, he takes no responsibility for anything he’s done. It’s like he believe we “made” him do stupid things, then is incensed that there are consequences.
I just finished doing an impact statement; found the online form for our province to follow. I’ve written it more as a guide, since it’s not something they need for what I’m applying for, but it’ll help me remember things, and keep on topic.
