I've been doing a lot of rereading lately. And I'm kind of out of ideas. So, today I'm going to borrow from one of the books I've been rereading. . .
First, suppose you have a stalker. What if that stalker tried to pass themselves off as your boyfriend/girlfriend? And in this case, I'm going to specify that this person has some of your friend group convinced. If you're married, this may be even more problematic.
I can only imagine the stress of having to deal with such unwanted attention. Not having all friends and family believe me about the situation would be the worst.
ReplyDeleteIt made for a good story. (I wanted to throw away her entire family, for what kind of family doesn't believe you on something like this?)
DeleteNow that would be a mindtwisting nightmare.
ReplyDeleteIt worked for the story.
DeleteI could see that happening for a celebrity. The stalker conveniently positions him/herself in a place where the celebrity can meet him/her and develop a relationship. Kind of scary!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, this guy was clever. Evil, but clever.
DeleteKnowing my friends, they would ask me and tell me what he is doing. He would also have to contend with my husband and he would be a fool if he stayed around.
ReplyDeleteIn the story, he was a fool. And evil. You have some good friends. The MC's friends weren't all that (hence why they believed him, I think).
DeleteIt gives me chills just to think of it.
ReplyDeleteThe book had a happy ending :)
DeleteI am reading a book similar to this plot called the Hypnotist's Love Story by Liane Moriarity. Former girlfriend stalking ex boyfriend who is involved with a hypnotist. Its not going well for the stalker but I have about 25% more of the book to read. I would involve the police a lot sooner than the people in the book did and try to get a restraining order. If the stalker tried to convince people they were in a romantic relationship that would even involve the police sooner than later!

Fabulous blog
ReplyDeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteMy daughter had a stalker in h.s. and it was awful. He told everyone she was his girlfriend and even started to ride the same bus. Needless-to-say, this Italian mama handled that whole situation quickly. I couldn't believe how many of my daughter's friends believed this nut job.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear you were on her side. In the book I read, the MC's parents didn't believe her, and that was just the worst.
