Crazy Makes You Crazy
The comdedian Christopher Titus has a segment on his Love is Evol tour called – Crazy Makes You Crazy. It it he describes his divorce. He was right on in his assesment.
Some of the warning signs that a person might be crazy is when s/he describes everyone else in his or her family as crazy except for her/him. Titus refers to such a person as the tylenol time- release cap of craziness. You think you are swollowing something non-toxic and at first everything seems fine, but crazy is coming.
Looking back on my relationship with Julie the signs are as evident as the sun on a cloudless day. She described every man who had been in her life as having psychological problems. Both her brother where drug addicts with psychological problems, her dad was described as a sexual pervert, her mom as a manipulative, controlling, enabler, and many of her past boyfriends as psychologically unstable.
I never realized at the time she was describing herself. I can now see why all of her boyfriends ran from her. She hid it well. Her projection onto others was an unconsicous smoke and mirrors way of hiding her true character. I got into a mess because I didn’t judge her for who she really was.
One time she told me how one of her boyfriends was cheating on her. She stalked him and followed him to a restuarant where he was meeting his new girlfriend. She told me in her rage how she made a huge scene at the restaurant. Warning flags should have gone up and I should have started running.
She framed her whole life with the premise of her as the victim. She covered her rage and anger,specifically towards men, with the selfish hope of proving to the world someone would marry her. Eventually the facade of trying to be someone she wasn’t melted to show her vindictive, bitter, rebellious, and resentful heart.
Never in my life would I have imagined a women so full of hate, anger, and de3structiveness. I married her because I believed she was the person she claimed to be. I stayed with her because of loyalty, faithfulness, and because crazy makes you crazy.
Since she has been gone I have been able to detox from her craziness.
