Each week I learn something that helps me connect the dots of my abuse. This week I put about five pieces and events together and now I understand what happened with my x family. Four years completely shocked by the worst behavior of any human beings. I know now I was dealing with a queen narcissist that had a very very big web of lies. I am so lucky to be free of this narcissist, controlling, lying, abusing, using.

0:01:18.610,0:01:20.610
Put That Right There
0:01:20.650,0:01:28.289
It went down Too far sorry I met my Husband and We were Married when my son, was [eight] Years Old and?
0:01:29.409,0:01:30.549

0:01:58.390,0:02:01.829
Almost Immediately When I first met my Husband
0:02:03.490,0:02:05.490
He Would!
0:02:05.860,0:02:07.860
use my son
0:02:07.920,0:02:13.949
To tell his Parents How Important the most important thing, was that my son’s Education?
0:02:14.140,0:02:16.140
Was going to be Paid for and
0:02:17.230,0:02:21.330
You know it was Almost like he was trying to?

0:02:29.140,0:02:33.509
It was almost weird That he kept on Saying and There was Always in Front of me but?
0:02:34.840,0:02:39.509
They Would always Tell Us all of Us that
0:02:40.540,0:02:47.880
They, Were Going to Pay for his Education as long as he got Into an Ivy League School or
0:02:48.850,0:02:53.850

0:03:07.209,0:03:09.209
Become A better Person right
0:03:09.880,0:03:12.359
so Screwed Up but I
0:03:14.650,0:03:22.140
Was always Uncomfortable I never liked taking Anything for my Husband and People that Really knew Me Knew That
0:03:22.690,0:03:23.890
I
0:03:23.890,0:03:26.579
Didn’t I was very Uncomfortable with him?
0:03:27.190,0:03:32.130
Spending Money on Me and Lover Diculous Things Sometimes but I
0:03:32.980,0:03:37.380
Wasn’t Comfortable with this This was my son I had Finally Gotten?
0:03:38.049,0:03:44.069
You, no, one Thought to a Certain level in My Career right before When I was divorcing my?
0:03:44.070,0:03:51.629
son’s Dad and I could start safe but my In-laws Convinced Us and Told me Repeatedly and
0:03:52.299,0:03:58.709
If I voiced my Opinion to my Husband that I wasn’t Comfortable with the fact that they Wanted to Pay for his Education
0:04:00.010,0:04:04.200
They Would sit me Down and pat me on you know Loving Shoulder and Tell me
0:04:04.840,0:04:11.299
Enjoy your Life to Enjoy your Own Money you know all we have to do Is sell an Ashtray or you know Picasso or?
0:04:12.020,0:04:15.609
All These other Things that they had I was
0:04:16.940,0:04:18.940
Taken By Their Money
0:04:19.280,0:04:23.740
Only in and Shocked I Didn’t ever Expect it or wanted but
0:04:24.410,0:04:26.410
you know I
0:04:26.630,0:04:29.170
Was just as Pretense that that?
0:04:30.080,0:04:32.169
I’m on my wedding day I were
0:04:32.870,0:04:36.070
[250] Thousand Dollars Worth of Jewels of my Body
0:04:36.890,0:04:44.710
and i had to Wedding Days and it was obscene Had Two full whole Wedding Cakes day after each other and
0:04:46.190,0:04:50.950
There Were Different $250,000 Jewelry and A Different dress on the Second night
0:04:52.700,0:04:54.350
but
0:04:54.350,0:04:57.879
They pushed my son to do Really
0:04:57.880,0:05:00.939
Well in School and I think This was to Make up for the lack that my
0:05:01.400,0:05:02.060
Ex-Husband
0:05:02.060,0:05:04.570
Was DysleXic and Had to go to special schools?
0:05:04.640,0:05:09.610
and I’m not Saying There’s Anything Wrong With that but he Didn’t Wanted to Read they were 16 and
0:05:11.000,0:05:15.369
you Know I had to for free email that he, was done To people so I
0:05:18.200,0:05:19.870
Think They Were They, were Pushing him
0:05:19.870,0:05:26.860
To be something that my Husband Hadn’t been Able to be because [of] this Handicap that he Had and my son
0:05:27.680,0:05:33.489
Worked Really Hard and he was A national Honor society Student and Here in Colorado
0:05:35.930,0:05:37.130
Everybody
0:05:37.130,0:05:39.130
Ninety Percent of People go to
0:05:39.200,0:05:45.489
College Here in Colorado, We have an awful lot of them Within you know ten Minutes of me Either Direction and?
0:05:47.750,0:05:52.779
They Wanted him to go to this Really good School and They Picked George Washington S
0:05:53.600,0:05:57.100
One of Them i took my son on the college Trip and We went to like?
0:05:57.350,0:06:03.520
You Know 20 Different Colleges and I Would have never in A million Years Pictured my son going to George Washington
0:06:03.680,0:06:08.680
Or being in the City of Dc Because She felt a little suburb Kid his whole life and
0:06:09.260,0:06:11.469
I just didn’t think that that was
0:06:12.290,0:06:15.129
What he Wanted but They Talked him, Into it my father-In-law
0:06:15.130,0:06:20.529
Had Gone To Another School in Dc and I, was met Their Approved?
0:06:20.990,0:06:23.410
We had Thirty Thousand Dollars in The Bank?
0:06:24.420,0:06:30.090
But George Washington was Sixty-Two Thousand Dollars A year and so that meant that We were?
0:06:30.790,0:06:34.170
32,000 [Towards] That first Year and you start to
0:06:35.200,0:06:37.200
You Know when You’ve Been Accepted to college
0:06:37.840,0:06:41.729
The January before you’re Going to go in September you start to
0:06:42.430,0:06:47.909
Find out About Financial Aid and you Stretch it you have to Apply [for] it and you have to figure all this out and so
0:06:48.070,0:06:55.469
We still Had Thirty Two Thousand Dollars Left that We needed for [that] Year of College and his Parents Told Us?
0:06:56.500,0:06:59.880
We had Just Been on A Vacation in Bournemouth our Days and?
0:07:01.090,0:07:05.549
We were There for Two Weeks all Together but They Didn’t Have the Financial Papers I needed to so
0:07:05.550,0:07:08.609
We had All These Conversations When We were on Vacation about?
0:07:09.040,0:07:15.629
What We were Going to do this was the Plan and the Plan was for me to go back to colorado my Husband
0:07:15.630,0:07:21.210
Was living in New York Because he Had Just Gotten A job Back There and was staying with my and A tee so
0:07:22.420,0:07:24.160
We talked About?
0:07:24.160,0:07:26.309
How, We were Going to Handle this and how?
0:07:26.890,0:07:34.110
They Wanted me to Take out a student Loan because if You take, one out With Student Loan Gov they
0:07:34.110,0:07:35.860
Just is very low and?
0:07:35.860,0:07:41.909
They Would Pay it off nine Thousand nine Hundred and Ninety-nine Dollars at a Time
0:07:42.340,0:07:48.569
In Cash so that it Would go Into the Radar and Nothing Would get Slack Because. They, were using Cash
0:07:49.570,0:07:55.619
And so this was the Plan and I went back and With all of Us on Skype?
0:07:57.010,0:07:59.280
We i filled out This Form and
0:08:00.040,0:08:03.510
my In-laws and my Husband were on Their end and I was
0:08:03.850,0:08:08.460
Here in Colorado But I had all the financial Account Numbers [and] all the stuff that I had to fill out
0:08:09.280,0:08:12.269
So i filled it out and you know I had all These Questions like
0:08:12.580,0:08:16.409
Do you want to defer it and Those Parents Said no because
0:08:16.450,0:08:20.460
We’re Just going to Pay the next you know next year we’ve got to Pay the whole 62 so
0:08:20.560,0:08:24.720
We’ll have to spread that out over sixth you know Tied and so
0:08:25.450,0:08:26.100
They’re like
0:08:26.100,0:08:31.559
No don’t defer it I was like Should I put it in my Name and his Name my Husband’s Name and They’re like
0:08:31.560,0:08:31.950
no, no
0:08:31.950,0:08:36.719
No he Makes so much more Money than you and We don’t want them to have to like Figure out your
0:08:37.089,0:08:40.859
Little Business it’s Just Easier He’ll Qualify for it so
0:08:41.799,0:08:45.089
Just put it in his Knee Which is what I did?
0:08:45.670,0:08:47.079
I have
0:08:47.079,0:08:50.008
So much Documentation and emails that
0:08:52.600,0:08:53.860
Was between?
0:08:53.860,0:08:57.479

0:08:57.970,0:09:02.009
Congratulated Me and Said what A great Job it was and they, were so proud of me for
0:09:02.739,0:09:05.459
you Know Filling out Paperwork but um
0:09:09.339,0:09:11.488
After all of That happened um
0:09:12.879,0:09:17.849
They Came Here for my, son’s Graduation Which was in May and
0:09:20.949,0:09:25.109
Mother Father Sister my father Came and
0:09:26.499,0:09:34.019
My Husband he back so they, were all here from Regards to the Graduation and it was a really weird week A
0:09:36.249,0:09:41.579
Mother and my Husband Work Constantly Whispering in Each Other’s Ears to the point where my own Father
0:09:41.579,0:09:46.948
Was like what Is going on what Is he Doing and [There’s] [A] [spring] in The Corner and it was all very?
0:09:47.379,0:09:51.118
Suspicious and All and I didn’t it was Perfectly normal
0:09:51.119,0:09:56.099
Oh yeah, when I’m A lots of Parties Lots of Things and Everything was normal?
0:09:58.119,0:10:01.798
They Left on Monday after the Graduation and
0:10:02.649,0:10:04.649
Wednesday my
0:10:05.379,0:10:08.368
Husband Calls Me on the Phone and Told me One of the Divorce
0:10:09.009,0:10:09.989
Well This
0:10:09.989,0:10:17.729
Was like A total Mindfuck to me Because I thought everything was normal and I was Flying to new York on Friday?
0:10:18.040,0:10:20.730
and while They Had, been There for the whole Graduation
0:10:21.429,0:10:28.679
Me and his Parent and Him that they’re Peeking out Houses that, We were Going to go look at, when I came to
0:10:29.769,0:10:37.318
Connecticut on that Friday so right in Between me Leaving and he Calls Up and tells me This
0:10:38.169,0:10:39.759
so I
0:10:39.759,0:10:44.969
Went Into Shock and I was Having a Breakdown I seriously was not doing, well and?
0:10:46.510,0:10:53.909
our House was Already Sold so Suddenly I’m Having to pack up A 5,000 Square Foot House and get Rid of
0:10:54.130,0:10:57.119
You Know Three Quarters of Everything I owned my
0:10:57.790,0:11:01.050
Husband Didn’t Come Back to help at all he Didn’t Come
0:11:01.900,0:11:03.900
and
0:11:04.150,0:11:11.699
It Just didn’t want his Stuff so Shortly After he Asked for the Divorce I get this Call on my answering Machine
0:11:12.310,0:11:15.419
From This friend of his wife and
0:11:16.390,0:11:18.390
This woman was it
0:11:18.610,0:11:25.140
Probably Is at Work and I’m she is still a drunk and my in Love Hated this woman and
0:11:25.900,0:11:33.359
Actually Asked her to weave a party at my at their House for my Birthday Because she was drunk and like?
0:11:33.910,0:11:40.050
Belligerently Yelling at People at the Dinner Table and so I get this Call from this Woman and
0:11:41.470,0:11:46.860
She leaves This message Saying that you know that my Husband doesn’t have to Pay my
0:11:46.860,0:11:51.510
son’s College Fund and She’s Going off on this Tangent and
0:11:53.050,0:11:59.250
When i asked him about it and the Divorce wasn’t even Filed and We were Kind of in the Limbo period
0:12:00.580,0:12:04.530
Obviously he was Talking to her About it right and I
0:12:05.200,0:12:07.319
Think She just blew Their Cover and
0:12:08.470,0:12:14.340
He Made, her Make a public Apology or something he Sent her a little things that it wasn’t cool what she, did?
0:12:17.410,0:12:21.059
to the drunken Lady all the pieces are Coming Together
0:12:23.050,0:12:25.469
in Court I
0:12:29.140,0:12:33.150
Was we were Going for the Word Divorce and as Many Months later my son?
0:12:33.150,0:12:39.209
Was long Into School before I was August Sixteenth on my Birthday When I i actually Filed on him?
0:12:40.900,0:12:42.900
but
0:12:42.910,0:12:44.910
in Court
0:12:45.010,0:12:48.330
he Claimed that I forged the Loan Papers and
0:12:49.480,0:12:54.349
They Were Fighting that they, were not [going] to Pay one Red Penny and that
0:12:55.410,0:12:57.410
I had Forged this Stuff
0:12:57.790,0:12:59.170
I
0:12:59.170,0:13:05.969
Obviously Came up with all [of] the Papers There’s Probably this Many Papers and Copies of Emails between Us and
0:13:06.310,0:13:08.310
Questions I had Had to ask
0:13:09.579,0:13:10.990
Excuse Me
0:13:10.990,0:13:15.750
Before I was Filling out The Forms so going back and Forth at all These Copies?
0:13:16.269,0:13:22.409
Showed Proof and Evidence Clearly to the Judge that they Knew Full, well About this Loan and
0:13:23.949,0:13:26.309
The Judge in The end
0:13:28.930,0:13:34.349
Put The Loan on his Side of the Settlement Table and Said that he Knew Full, well what?
0:13:35.949,0:13:42.209
Was in his Name and that that he, was going to Accept Responsibility for This so they gave it to him
0:13:44.290,0:13:46.949
Suddenly all my friends Back in connecticut, oh
0:13:48.069,0:13:52.049
Mutual Friends I would Say Because Obviously I think my friends are Always There
0:13:52.569,0:13:54.659
But These People that I met Through him?
0:13:55.180,0:13:56.290
and
0:13:56.290,0:14:00.149
Through Work, We Worked in The Same Location for 10 Years and?
0:14:02.139,0:14:04.559
They Were Treating me Like I was some sort of like?
0:14:04.959,0:14:10.559
Viper Or something, Every Time I see them when I’d go back There and Advice, hmm you know like Their skin
0:14:10.560,0:14:12.480
Would Crawl and I didn’t understand what the
0:14:12.480,0:14:18.120
Hell he Had Told them and it occurred [to] me to meet this is what he’s Been Telling them then I probably
0:14:18.130,0:14:20.369
did something With This Education and
0:14:24.220,0:14:25.329
After
0:14:25.329,0:14:31.349
That Shock of all my friends Just Kind of like this is gas lighting this is gas Lighting to me to Make me Think that
0:14:31.600,0:14:37.560
All Those years, We Didn’t sit Down and Have These Family Dinners and They Would tell Me and my son
0:14:38.740,0:14:40.740
Were Paying for college I
0:14:42.220,0:14:44.220
Didn’t want it and They?
0:14:44.380,0:14:50.789
Insisted so There I was Stuck With A child going to a sixty-Two Thousand Dollars School and
0:14:52.029,0:14:56.008
I had to fund this on my Own for the last Four [Years]
0:14:57.040,0:14:59.040
That’s Financial Abuse and
0:15:00.040,0:15:02.339
They Didn’t want Anyone to know
0:15:03.160,0:15:05.160
The Truth That
0:15:05.680,0:15:06.880
They
0:15:06.880,0:15:09.029
Had Already Said They, were going to do this
0:15:09.530,0:15:13.509
so after the Divorce was Finalized I
0:15:14.120,0:15:18.310
Kept getting Bills from the student Loan Gov Department Saying you need to
