Some thoughts on perception.

My ex-wife sees me through the lens of the person she knew over fourteen years ago.  To a large extent, I believe I have changed.  At least in how I behave.  I have to admit I still let my thoughts do the "self will run riot" thing.  But my actions and outward behavior have changed.  All the people I know in the place where I live don't know and have never met the person that my ex knew.  When I talk about the way I was they are in disbelief.  They can't imagine.

Through the lens with which my ex-wife sees me all my actions, behaviors, things I say, facial expressions, questions I ask, every little nuance, even the way I walk are filtered to answer one question.  "How is he manipulating me?"  She always comes up with an answer.  It is a stunning testament to the way I was.

My solution:  Stay the fuck away from her and only communicate with her when absolutely necessary and then only by text.
