For the first twenty years of this stalking, I said nothing to anyone but my diaries and my friend Tom. He didn't believe me and my diary offered no solace. So then I tried talking about it and, of course, it raised Lori's temper. So there really isn't a happy medium. Now that I've said what I've said, there is no turning back.
I'd love to get this chip out of my head, if nothing else.
