Hi everybody !

Thanks for listening. I need to share this. I just got a call from my childhood "friend". As usual, she started making small-talk, which was fine coz I was finally at peace with my plans. I had met this guy again, on a parking lot and as I had predicted this time he tried to run away, but he couldn't avoid me without being exceedingly rude, so he was holding the door of his car in front of him like a shield (!), looking scared like I was going to expect unspeakable things from him. No Hollywood film would get away with this !! It had some comedy potential.
Once again, he couldn't help it but answer a simple question ("new car?") with a life story (he said he had borrowed the car from the "mother of his daughter" and given her his own for her to go on vacation with their daughter. Why can't he say "ex-wife" ? Weird. Is a woman just a mother or a child, never a partner ?). Anyway, I didn't talk to him that day because it is useless to talk to somebody on the run. I will do so IF/WHEN he comes to me. Funny, I didn't feel really angry this time. Maybe, because the fact that I can predict his moods is reassuring somehow. Don't know.
Anyway, I didn't feel like talking about this with my friend, because in my mind it was time for "action" and I was getting in the mood for it.
She just said :"I told you he was making fun of you !!! He wasn't really interested!". When I said that I didn't agree, she got mad at me, saying that statistics don't lie (?), that it was so obvious, that she was dealing with facts (unlike myself) etc... When I pointed out to her that 2 weeks ago, when I was reasonably sceptical, she said to me "It's obvious he likes you ! He wouldn't spend so much time talking to you otherwise!!! His behaviour is pretty clear !", she got even madder. She said I had misunderstood, that she warned me, blah, blah, blah
I hung up on her. She was just yelling. She seems to feel entitled to knowing what is right or wrong, what's true and not because she had a rough childhood. I was probably too understanding with HER. I learned a lesson: don't listen to your friend's advice if your gut feeling tells you otherwise ! don't listen to them, unless you are sure they ARE your friends, don't listen to them unless you are sure they don't project their bad experiences on you.
She is probably talking to her boyfriend, telling him I am hysterical and that I can't handle the truth. I don't care anymore. I finally realize that she is an abusive person. What do you think ?
I guess I should thank this man for helping me understand this ! If only for that, he had a positive influence on my life. Now, let's take care of the rest, right ?
