Hey tomorrow's the 1st.  I need my rent.  So, I guess we'll do all of the key swapping when I get my rent check. Thank you.

Hey, two things.  I got a prospective buyer for the building.  So, umm that's one thing.  The other thing is I need that $10,000 I gave you for your uhh father back, please. So... tomorrow should be a pretty good payday for me. Bye.

57. The Calm Before the Storm

I have placed some (not the short ones) of the recording links with the transcripts.  The recordings open in a new window.  You cannot really 'feel' what he is saying without hearing 'how' he says it.

Ya know your spending $50,000 with the Republican Party.  You're running my business and my building into the ground.  You have a condition called Asbergers which prevents you from thinking clearly.  Umm.  You need medication.  And, I need to seize control of everything back.  So, I don't know what you are going to do honey.  I think you should go to an insane asylum.  I think that would be your best bet.  What do you think?  They can adjust your dosages.  And then, you know, you can uhh, get better.  Because we all just want you to get better honey.  We all just want you to get better.

56. And Why Would Tuesday Be Any Better?

I held my breath this morning to see what today would be like.  Imagine my surprise to get to work to this email after the abuse of yesterday:

55. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Monday was pretty busy at work.  Mark called a few times in the morning and sounded 'normal' - well, as normal as he can be.  He called to tell me he got his car back.  He also said he made a dermatology appointment for Thursday.  Most of the day was fine - until right before we closed.  Then, all of sudden all hell broke loose.

When I got the very first message, all I could think was OH NO!! Mr. Hyde showed up!!!!!

I had over 30 phone calls from him today and many voice messages.

54. Trying to Reach Out

A few days have gone by and all has been very quiet.  When that happens I worry.  I know you are all shaking your head at me.  But, one of the major symptoms of bipolar disorder is manic depression.  That's when I start to worry.  When he is quiet for days on in I start to wonder....

I also feel bad because I know he is all alone, not working and has no money, just credit cards.  Sure, he has all of those coins that he has bought on Ebay.  In fact, he has been paying people with them and getting ripped off.  But, still he has no way to get food without a credit card.  I do pay all of the bills for the house still. 

53. Brotherly Love

You probably ask yourself how I can see some of the emails that I see.  That's because Mark will email other people and then somewhere along the line add me to the conversation.  When he does it allows me to see everything else that was said in the conversation.

The following email was from Mark's brother Bruce.  As you can tell, he isn't very happy:

52. Post Vday Notes & FPL Bills

So, I waited until today to respond to his Valentines emails.  I thought long and hard about writing him.  I don't know why I just don't ignore him.

After thinking, writing and re-writing, below is what I finally came up with.

51. Happy Valentines Day, I Guess

Nothing else to see here...move along...

50. CucKoOo CoooOOOooo

I should have kept my mouth shut yesterday.  I criticized his listing of the house.  Yes, it was completely false.  But, I know better then to say anything.

I also did not respond to his request for a date night until the morning, so that also gave him ammunition to go a bit crazy.  Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened.

49. Procrastination...

Procrastination is a crime

It only leads to sorry

I can stop it anytime

I think I will tomorrow...

No.  I didn't fall off the face of the earth.  No.  Mark did not shoot me.  I just haven't felt like writing.  I go through stages.  I think about writing, then I think better of it.  I realize I have to relive everything and sometimes I just don't want to.  So, I just don't write.

Things have been a bit more quiet.  Sure, I had the usual phone calls, but mostly Mark has left me alone.   Today he wanted to update me on our house, which he has put on Zillow and has totally misrepresented our house:

48. The Day After

As I stated in my final thoughts last night, I wanted to wait to respond to Mark's request to go to a marriage counselor.  I wasn't sure I wanted to respond at all.  I decided I would.

47. You've Been Served...

I didn't sleep well last night as usual.  I actually had several nightmares throughout the night.  I couldn't stop thinking about what would happen once Mark was served his divorce papers.  Trust me, he has no clue that this is coming.

Oh sure, he was sitting there when his psychiatrist 'told me to file'.  And, I have no doubts his brother called him after Kristin talked to him and told him I was planning to file.  But, after receiving Facebook messages like this on Tuesday, it makes me believe he doesn't think it will happen:
