I am certainly holding onto the denial stage a little… hoping that the last year of my life has not been a lie. But I have definately moved onto the Anger stage as well.

Michael used me… that much is clear. I am very angry at him right now. I feel like he deserves to be damaged in some way for what he did to me.

Right this moment, he is preparing to introduce a lecture. I love these lecture series. And because he is involved with them, I feel like I can not go to them anymore. So, I am watching this from video at my desk.

I am fuming.

Just before he began to pursue me, he had offered me a job. He works in an area that I find facinating and that I believe that I would have been able to thrive. Now instead of doing what I love… and instead of being fulfilled, I am left to sit here bitter and angry.

I allowed him to take so much away from me.

Let’s add career and intellectual damage to the list.
