]]> I have not been active in social media for quite a long time – working in technology (and advertising technology specifically), social media started to concern me back sometime around 2008/2009, when I quit posting on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. altogether. I have kept profiles active in order to keep on top of the trends, in particular as they relate to potential jobs and the need to be an aware/vigilant parent.

When Kim moved out of our marital residence, she immediately started, what I would consider, a campaign to manipulate friends and family. I partially blame myself for being so naive for as long as I was, and voiced the concern about what friends and family would think – being so overt as to say “When I see couples divorce, with children of our age, I think there must have been some serious problems in the relationship that could not be overcome…as it is a pretty well-known statistic that a two-parent household is better than a one-parent household for the development and success of children, making it pretty much a moral imperative to do all you can to try to work through personal differences until you’ve exhausted all efforts. By default some percentage of people are just going to think that the man in the relationship was either unfaithful, or abusive in some regard.” Her response in realtime was “well, fuck those people.” As if, she weren’t talking about our friends, family, and kids.

However, a light did go on with Kim, and I’m certain that she from that point on thought “You’re right, people WILL think that…” and started to build a plan around leveraging this defacto narrative to her advantage. Despite the way that she moved out, she started posting pictures of her rental house on Facebook immediately, because “she needs the support” and started getting wondering questions from family about what was going on.

She “needs the support” is a pretty difficult pill to swallow in the midst of her driving this narrative, with nothing but her manipulative agenda guiding the way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This didn’t stop her from posting all sorts of disparaging comments, which inherently are directed at me, and the audience is the same family members (e.g. my mom) who were wondering about the pictures of her rental:
