I spent $3000 to get my ex out of my house when we broke up; she stayed for 3 months after we split and extorted me. Told our mutuals that I was a transphobe and I broke up with her bc she's trans (mtf). They believed her over me.

I say you got off cheap, no offence. I have no advice for small claims I'm sorry.

Hugs to both of you. None of it is fair.

I just don't understand how so many people are awful to friends and loved ones.

And I hate how this economy with low wages is making choices in relationships and friendships have such deep potentially awful consequences. The poverty wages is giving us fewer choices.

Thanks, I'm quite happy to have a just scraping by wage this year or even this and next year but I've set myself up for very low housing costs. Just when starting a new job and waiting on centrelink to grace me with the god of the health care card it's tight without delving into my hard earned and sacrificed for savings. To quote a stupid tshirt, "I am gay and $500 is $500." That what is says isn't it?

That’s awful. Those types of people also tend to be super manipulative with everything somehow and you end up losing everything including your friends.

They are really the worst type of people and hard to get away from for one reason or another.

Im glad you don’t have to deal with them anymore.

Thanks! I'm very pleased and humbled with the messages of support.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! It actually makes me feel better. I knew when I blocked her from everything I'd probably lose the cash, but now I could really do with it and I thought she'd be a fucking decent adult about it. Now I know she's a perpetual victim.

They all are, those kinds of people, they get off on the attention that being a victim gives them. But they're usually very toxic in reality, narcissistic and unwilling to be responsible for their flaws and actions.

It's shit, cos it also means she's gaslit me and my mate, who were sincerely caring and spoke to each other at length about how to best help her. We were supposed to "sisters", as we were really close once. I guess when the new people all see someone's true colours, they go back to the old people they dissed years ago for support hoping to find a sucker. She complained about a whole scene turning their back on her. Maybe it's because they know her better. Can you call her a bitch so I don't have to?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
