A friend of mine asked me for help dealing with a new boyfriends psycho exgirlfriend. If you know me, you can probably guess she was thinking along the lines of being rude to the poor girl considering my past meetings with dumb strangers. My friend complained up and down about how this chick is ruining her newfound relationship blah blah blah. It amazed me that she didn't even take the other girls side of the story.
I will agree, psycho ex's can really put a strain on anyones sanity, but consider the other person too. Surely someone who threatens you, talks crap about you, secretly stalks you on the internet, sends you hate mail, prank phone calls you or even slashes your tires, has problems. Break ups can get really nasty I will agree on that, but I have a message to all psycho exs.
If you have ever found yourself doing any of the above mentioned things, and I mean doing them in extreme ways making your ex's new significant other your new obsession, listen. There is a reason your relationship did not work out. It sucks I know, but stalking the new person is not going to make your ex want you back, in fact it is going to do the opposite. It is not the new persons fault you broke up, it is not their fault you are miserable and it is not their fault that he/she will not speak to you. Move on with your life.
I've heard some pretty outrageous psycho ex stories, and I never understood a second of it. I'd ask myself things like WOW Why? Is it really worth it? Then I became *somewhat* of a psycho ex. I'd never inflict harm upon anyone, and I will never talk to the girl and I'll never harass her or harm any of her posessions as she has mine. I will however say I understand why people become psychco ex's, and maybe it's some peoples part of the healing process, but when it gets out of control it's a mental concern.
So to help my friend out, a note to the psycho ex and maybe yours too.
Dear ____'s exgirlfriend,
You are out of your mind. The sooner you realize you have lost every shred of sanity, the sooner you can be on the road to regaining human morals. ______ has moved on to another person, you need to accept that and move on with your own life. Stalking the new person is not going to make you more desireable and it sure as hell won't make you feel better about your own problems. Put down the weapons, drop the nail file, blast Alanis Morissette in your car and drive back to your own house. I repeat you are out of your mind, how about you climb back in and join the rest of us in semi-sane society?
