Last night, another somewhat frustrating evening with my sister as she can be soooo difficult to communicate with. She can pick an argument about the weirdest stuff. (Although she did apologize after one argument she picked, which is unusual.) I would really love to record one of our evenings together and play it back for her so she can hear herself as she fusses about the most ridiculous things, twists my words, and picks arguments over things I didn't say or didn't bring up almost as if it's a creative way for her to change the subject and direct the conversation into a contest she thinks she is most likely to win.

But last night, what was most frustrating, and somewhat painful, is she more fully clarified her position regarding the years of stalking I've been enduring and that has given me severe PTSD. In recent months, she has told me that she knows I'm not lying about it, and that I'm not delusional about it. But what she added last night was that she has trouble believing anyone would do the things this person has been doing and she is more likely to believe it's a ghost haunting me. She is a very smart, ivy-league educated woman and she said this seriously.

I had no idea what to say to that. I guess I could argue it from her current position. I guess I could say, ghosts haunt a dwelling where they died and I know the history of my condo and no one died there. Also, it all began at my apartment, going on for years there, and followed me when I moved to the condo, and hauntings don't shift from house to house. None of this fits what we know about ghosts, but I would feel like an idiot arguing this because there's no such thing as ghosts.

Anyway, I'm a little dumbfounded today because of this new revelation. So, I don't know where I'm at right now. It is very, very hard when you have been severely abused by someone and people insist it didn't happen. But acknowledging it's been happening but is being perpetrated by a ghost is a form of denial that I've never heard before. Talk about reaching...
