I don’t even know where to start with this, so if it’s a bit all over the place then it’s because the situation has reached all kinds of levels I hadn’t previously thought possible.
Around 5 years ago, I met a woman who would radically change my life for good for the first time. She was one of my oldest friends sister and I wasn’t aware of her existence until I was added on facebook.
Several years later we finally hooked up and embarked on an intense 18 month or so relationship where we were engaged to be married.
However during that time we both bought issues to the table that would ultimately destroy anything and everything.
Firstly, she was not really over he ex and remained distant throughout the relationship barring occasions when she would open up. Also because of the way her family had been bought up she had a number of commitment issues that made it very difficult for her to commit. She said she loved me, she didnt withdrew and over committed as suited as a result.
I was okay with both and tried to work through both so that we could move on.
In my case I had gender issues that had blighted me for 30 years or so. from Xmas time last year I tried to sort them out by bringing them out to be able to handle the issue deal with it head on and actually sort it out for good.
The problem was that she didn’t listen or understand what I was trying to do because we didnt communicate properly and now thinks that I am going to change my gender and will always be that way.
That drove a wedge in the relationship that completely wrecked any good and ultimately in August helped caused it’s spectacular demise, when she ended it with me whilst her mum was present and involved in the break up (we are both 35, mum is in her 70’s)
3 days later i solved the gender issues for good by facing them head on and living full time in the gender I thought I wanted to be. It gave incredible insight and I know now that I was only hiding away from lack of belief in myself and avoiding me by pushing it into another gender which had none of those worries.
I tried writing letters to say thanks for the relationship, allowing me to be a dad to her kids from a previous relationship and sent some flowers again to say thanks. It was all thankful stuff and we sent hundreds of texts after we split and there was a vow to remain friends because we still felt a bond even if it was not love any more.
After the letters we’re sent things went completely crazy. With no warning she involved the Police and this has ultimately lead me to be arrested but released with no charge as no evidence as if their is some vendetta against me for hurting her because of the gender issue problems which would be hard enough for anyone to deal with.
There have been accusations of malicious social services reports attributed to me ( I have no idea where they came from) and then a quite a sustained campaign of random and distressing emails to me from an unknown source. My email and facebook accounts have been hacked and even an account which she couldnt have possibly known about has also been hacked/compromised by her or her family. The vindictiveness has got way out of hand and is now impacting all kinds of my life ( it all got too much and I tried to overdose because of that and a number of other issues that would sunk anyone if were one at a time, let alone all at once) and my friends and family
We both werent saints but i through everything into saving the relationship and sorting my gender stuff out so we could be or at least have a proper chance of working even if we did then fail.
I cant talk to her on Police advice, indeed I have had no contact with her whatsoever since August for that reason I cant get closure for the same reason. I know the relationship is over. She does not realise though what strength she gave me and that I have changed from the person I was in the relationship and I’m not the person she thinks I was after the relationship either.
What a complete mess. How do you move on from all that? How can you grieve or move on completely when a relationship that ended nearly 3 months ago is still affecting you on a daily basis. There are still belongings to sort that cant be because of Police involvement, there are random texts and the facebook shenanigans and the potential to meet and words will lead to arrest for both of us.
Help!
November 6, 2014 at 4:28 am #67420InkyParticipantThis is so over the top that you have to cut and clear from the past completely. As you said, the issues each by themselves one could conceivably deal with but now they are all convoluted and compounded.
1. Gender Issues ~ It’s really hard for a girl to be involved with a guy who is (to her, suddenly) confused/gay/trans/alternative/etc. For a relationship we tend to like it black and white. How can you stand by your man if your man might not be a man, you know? I know I’ve offended dozens of people in dozens of ways I’ve never thought of, but that’s how the average woman will think.
2. Social Services?? OK, when social services are ever called, it is government sanctioned kidnapping. 9/10 times the call is made because of a vendetta, but the law still states that the family has to be investigated. It is no joke. Imagine a 19 year old government worker deciding if you deserve to raise your own children. Once again, the average person will go bat-s*** crazy with fear, upset and paranoia. When people’s family or children are being threatened and they don’t know who your true friends or enemies are, they will do outrageous things.
3. Wait, why were you actually called into the police? Was this before or after the social services debacle?
This woman clearly views you as a threat, an enemy, someone not to be trusted. She is suffering more than you are (believe it or not) from anger and fear I would please leave her alone once and for all.

November 6, 2014 at 5:26 am #67424confusednorthernerParticipantHi Inky
She knew that there were issues before we got together so wasnt going in completely blind to the whole thing. I know how much that can hurt and completely scramble things up. When ever she asked I always tried to give her an answer, even if I didnt know the answer myself at the time. I was always upfront and honest and it clearly got lost in a mix of emotions and cross fire that would be a massive reason to destroy things.
Yes, Social Services were sent a report which involved regarding her, her kids, her mum, the kids dad and their family. I have no idea whatsoever as to who did that and why. I was as mortified as she was probably ( i have no idea!) having been a dad to her kids for the best part of 18 months it felt like it was an attack on me as well, even though I was no longer part of the relationship. Who would do something so utterly cold. I still cant believe some actually did it!
However because it is clearly malicious then all eyes are pointing back to me as the ‘rejected’ party. The amount of ‘friends’ I have lost over that is now approaching 20 or so as the rumours and backlash is massively over the top and no one will actually listen to what I have said or believe me. I know it’s trite, but I really havent got a bad bone in my body and the whole thing is immensely perturbing.
The Police were involved over the letters ( 3 sent over a 3 weeks. none malicious or threatening or anything that could be construed there as), then the social thing happened and then another letter (which had got lost in the post and I informed the Police multiple times over this ) turned up and I got arrested.
It’s layer after layer after layer creating a completely false impression and is clearly affecting us both. The stupid part of me wants to work out how is possible to calm the situation down before one or both of us ends up in Jail or charged ( she’s got kids remember!)
I haven’t spoken to or seen her, written, texted or whatever since August. I actively dread bumping into her anywhere because all of this, because I fear actually seeing each other will cause escalation. I want to try and untangle this mess in my own head as well as calm things down. I have left her alone, done nothing, yet become the focal point of her and her families vengence when it is completely and utterly mis-directed.
What kind of ritual? I’ve tried all sorts and it’s still affecting me as there were ‘shenanigans’ as late as yesterday afternoon. I’m trying to move on but am getting sucked back in because I am the focal point of that anger.
November 6, 2014 at 6:14 am #67426InkyParticipantOh dear.
OK, I don’t know what your spiritual leaning is or how open you are, but a ritual – or prayer – for Protection would be vital. Before that do a ritual – or prayer – for Clearing. You want to Clear, Protect and then Bless. Anything you find in a book, online, or through a spiritual advisor that you resonate with, do.
Another thing is to move. Even if it’s one town over. You can still get to work, but be much less likely to run into people and get a clean start. A new beginning!
Lastly, I would find the most gossipy person you can think of. Tell your side of the story. Trust me, the truth that you were caught in the crossfires will reach the majority of your social circle.
Oh, and pray earnestly that the person who called Social Services gets found out ~ they always seem to eventually.
Unfortunately your letters and the social services call plus the breakup was terrible timing.
November 7, 2014 at 12:07 am #67468confusednorthernerParticipantHi Inky
I’m pretty open I shall try the ritual and prayer.
I cant move as Im tied to owning a house with another person. I am however making massive life changes in the interim
As for gossipy person I have pretty much done all I can. All I can hope is given time that people forgive and forget and that Im able to restablish some relationships
I hope so.
I wish ( note wish) things were so different. As there may have been some chance at salvaging a friendship out of things rather than this complete mess :/
