Time for a pause -
time to reflect.
I hope the story background has been clarified.
Yes, there are hundreds of questions left lurking around the corners.
Where I go next is not yet established -
much depends on feedback and/or smart questions posed by 'you' and others.
My wife will have great say in what I do and write next.
I have expressed to her my desire to now come out from behind the curtain -
and she has acknowledged the great importance of this act.
The past two years have greatly impacted my personal life -
our relationship -
for worse and for better.
The unfolding events left us with great uncertainty:
Would the man harm us personally?
Or harm others involved in our lives?
What can be said is the experience has negatively impacted our lives -
mostly because others expressed disbelief of the real-experience story we shared in part.
The sharing reactions -
caused us to withdraw from others -
to hide our truth -
even from one another.
The man almost killed me -
which I'm sure was/is his intent.
But if he wants me dead -
then he will have to make it happen -
vs. drive me to doing it myself.
This I have concluded.
So what I do now,
may lead to my death,
it's with full awareness,
that I may drive the man to the decision and act.
I'm 100% OK with what happens next.
I'm hoping my life partner is too?
