02.01.99
I received numerous phone calls from a so-called ex of mine over the last week. We lived together through 1998, excluding November and December. And being that he ripped all trust from my heart towards people in general, I do not have the time nor do I feel the need to answer any calls from him, so I haven't. But, unfortunately, after many tries during the week to contact me, he resorts to his mother tracking me down by email. She and I are very good friends. I am very surprised our friendship has sustained through everything that has happened between her son and I. Seems he is wanting me to forward his tax papers to him when they arrive at my home. The more I think about it, the more I just feel like putting "Return To Sender" on it and letting him track down his own things. I do not feel that I should go out of my way to make his life so much easier by helping him. Especially, after all the financial and emotional setbacks he has put me through this past year. I am not up to playing secretary for him. But yet, on the other hand, that would probably be a little bit cruel of me not to send it to him, if and when I receive it here. I could forward it to him with the $1,000 bill he owes me. Yeah, that would probably be the thing to do. Not that I will ever get reimbursed, but at least he will see, in black and white, that he owes it to me. I just hope that the next relationship I am in, I will not allow myself to be so blind as to let men take advantage of me like they tend to do. Looking back, I just cannot believe I was so gullible -- what a wasted year.
