Even something as practical as selling a house became a battlefield.

I tried to sell it privately: I built a website at my own cost, offered it at a great price, and avoided fees. Over 60 enquiries came in, and six viewings took place. I accepted an offer everything was ready for a smooth sale.

But they said I couldn’t receive my 50% unless I dropped the court case (in writing) — or I would get nothing. Naturally, the sale fell through.

Next, they insisted on using an agent. I agreed. Their lawyer apparently has a buyer willing to proceed, and I agreed for their lawyer and the agent to meet mine for the viewing.

Nothing happened.

Then I was told the house could only be sold privately at an inflated price — or it would go to auction.

And through it all, the pattern is clear: games, head games, control.and financial manipulation behind the scenes, history repeating itself.

Even in situations that should be simple and practical, manipulation persists. Every decision is not just about the house, or the money, but about maintaining power and keeping me off balance.

But I am NOT.
