Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yes you are being hoovered ! I can't say for sure that your nada was or is like mine , but without doubt if my nada acted like this it would be a well thought out plan to regain control over me. Ive made the mistake of letting her worm her way back in before and it was just a matter of time before her real aim came out.Maybe you can some day get the closure , I hope so , but for me I have to deal with the fact that that will Never happen . Only you know if you are ready to give up trying, but if you do stop trying you have no reason to feel guilty about preserving your own mental health.Hope this helps a little. > > Hi, > > I contacted my nada after a year NC via telephone last week, she listened to a bit of what I had to say, but nothing has really changed she is still having affairs behind my alcoholic step fathers back, she told me she is seeing a married guy etc, i told her that i contacted her for closure and apologies for all the abuse i have endured my whole life. > > I ended the telephone converstation with..... " I will be in touch if and when i feel the time is right, im getting on with my life " > > I gets home from work today to a message on my Facebook from her boyfriend insisting that i contact my mum as there are things she needs to tell me and that she misses me so much, and that she has left my step father > > I am guessing the usual has happened, she has left my step father because she has interest somewhere else, it wont last long and she will be back with him as she is very co-dependant, and as per usual she wants me to mother her and pull her out the crap, she wants the drama etc...............i think i am being hoovered.................what do you guys think??? > > Thanks > x > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 * HOOVER ALERT * Yes, you are being hoovered. Stay strong, stick to your guns. If you break your NC you are only training your nada to triangulate more and ignore your NC boundaries. You CLEARLY laid out the boundary on your terms and she's violating it via her new beau. THIS IS NOT OK. Please do not fall for it, you're only going to encourage her to violate you in the future, if you cave in. Your nada only misses you because you are a garbage receptacle for all of her drama and BS. She misses you indeed, because who is now going to offer her a shoulder to cry on? This is the perfect time to continue to stay away. It's all about her remember! Her drama, her needs, her problems, etc. etc. It's never about you or your needs. Steer clear of the hoover my dear.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 The official term for that kind of behavior is " triangulation, " and the standard response is to say, " well, have HER tell that to me HERSELF. " And typically they don't because at its base triangulation is an act of cowardice. Since you are already NC, and successfully, what purpose would it serve even to react with " have HER tell me " ? In such a case perhaps no response is the best response.
