A few days ago, Bill Zeller, a 27-year-old graduate student at Princeton University, died. The cause: suicide. The reason: He was tormented due to being repeatedly raped as a child.

Zeller left a 4,000-word suicide note that eloquently explained the effect that the devastation had on his life. There is a link to it in this article:

Princeton student kills self over rape as child, on CBSNews.com.

Story suggested by a Lovefraud reader.

    gay boxer moved out. 🙁

    nope, haven’t met anyone, ‘cept part of my lost self. my first screen name here was ‘lostandfearful’ didn’t type that in too many times before i realized that i didn’t want to do it for the long haul.
    But, that’s how i felt: lost and confused.

    remember earlier today when i said ‘denial fantasty’? Well, mine is that i will heal and then go kill the spath. My idea of healing is tied in, on some level, to a vengeance fantasy. But, now that I see it, i can work on letting it go – and THAT is where the joy comes in!

    I like ‘pickled tink’, that’s very nice. It’s like something went VERY wrong in the story of Peter Pan. 😉

    ONe step in JOY is worth 100 in pain! So I’m glad you were ready to make that change!!! When we are ready to move to the next level we can do it!

    Today has been a lazy day for me (my friend’s siser showed up—having drama with her crittically ill dauughter (daughter just had major surgery and is recovering slowly at home) her mother went there to take care of her during her recuperation that will take weeks, but SIL doesn’t like lMIL so accuses her of all kinds of horrible things, like using their toilet paper, eating their food, and that kind of of stuff and even says that when she goes into the bedroom to help his wife, she is “casinig the joint to see what she can steal.”

    The daughter is trauma bonded to this man, so she asked her mother to go, but is now accusing her mother of all the things her husband told her that her mom supposedly did. (all of this after major and very serious surgery, so now while the husband is gone to work 12 hours a day, the daughter (patient) is alone in the house and she is a very brittle diabetic patient who has just had her pancreas removed and really shouldn’t be left alone this soon after surgery.

    I’ve known this family for 30+ years and this relationnship for many years and I think this is going to be the last big scene in this play, the final act in separating the mother from her daughter. It doesn’t make sense to me why the SIL would want to run his MIL off who was functioning as a nurse for his recoring wive, caring for all the family pets, cleaning the house and cooking the meals
    , running the erronds in her own vehcile, doing the laundry etc.,

    Just doesn’t make sense to me….but what psychopaths do doesn’t make sense to me many times. What would motivate me to do some action, would not motivate them, and what motivates them, I can’t even get a handle on it. (shaking head here)

    The more I see of “human nature” the less I understand it I think.

    Good one Sky! My xspath seperated me from my mom for the last 1 1/2 of her life. He was hoping I wouldn’t peel off his mask before she died. Well I did and he didn’t benefit from her death at all and I ran home to take care of me and what was left of the family and estate. HAHAHA!!!!! BACK SPATH!!!!!!!!! Not a dime!!!!

    Nice. I like it. I think you’re going to grow into that name. I can feel it.
    The reason I escaped the P is because they get excited when they are pulling off a con and they overestimate themselves. He thought he had me fooled but his mistake was in targeting the ownership of my business. That’s when I knew he was after my money. The will got changed and I took off.
    Not crazy
    I’m glad you took control of your finances. No woman should ever relinquish the purse strings. That should be the first thing they teach us in school.

    Oh, I know Sky, but the thing is, his wife is recovering from a horrible and serious surgery, and to have her mother there to take care of her, and take care of the house and since his wife is a VERY BRITTLE DIABETIC and they just took, out her pancreas she does NOT need to be there alone while he is at work all day for 12 hours in case she has a blood sugar crash. It just doesn’t make sense why he would push the MIL out NOW when it looks like having there as an UNPAID maid and nurse would be very eneficial. You’re right though, he is a Psychopath liar I can tell you that and the rest of the stuff he does really sounds like he might qualify on the PCL-R even.

    My friend”s daughter is apparently trauma bonded to her abusive husband, but there’s nothing anyone can do to rescue her from herself.
