...and the beat goes onnnnnnnnnnnnnn................

 

la de dah de dah..............

 

after seeing the compassion etc posters offer you here and then see your mean spiteful posts on other's threads, all I can say is - you're a real piece of work Ariadne

I'm not saying this as an attack. I truly believe this to be the case: It's because she has a screw loose and her behavior is abnormal. It only stands to reason that she would post in an abnormal way as well. She should be in an institution, heavily medicated, without internet access.

 

E..H

Now that's really mean. I mean why does everyone have to be cookie cutter carbons of each other? Ariadne is unique. She's not mean at all. She's very smart and very direct. She has a way of getting to the meat of an issue.

 

Look, I think she knows deep down that this isn't going to go down the way she wants it to. But if it's making her happy right now, and she's not hurting anyone, who are you or anyone else to put her down and be insulting?

 

She's exercising and dieting and doing good things because of this. So where is the harm? If she gets hurt later, well that's the risk she's taking. She was hurt before and she kept on going.

 

To say that she should be institutionalized and be heavily medicated is ridiculous. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I'll never be ashamed of just being honest.

 

In the first thread, she actually said her son had seen the naked pictures of her on the internet. Any mother that could possibly allow her own child to see a naked pic of her, in my book, has a screw loose and needs medication and an institution with well built walls.

 

Sorry we don't see eye to eye here.

Listen I don't agree with some of her decisions either. I agree that her son should not have seen those pics.

 

I still think it's wrong to say she needs meds and an institution.

 

Does everyone who makes mistakes, in your book, need meds and should be locked up? Wow. We'd have empty streets if that were the case.

Again, we just don't see eye to eye.

 

No, not everyone who makes mistakes should not be in an institution.

 

However, this goes WAYYY beyond normal mistakes.

 

This is just my opinion based on her posts and threads. Hell, she even had her child posting on here(supposedly). True or not, I think it makes my point.

 

You know, believe it or not, there ARE people out there who should be institutionalized. My opinion is that the OP is one of them. Not trying to be mean. Just stating my opinion.

 

Right or wrong, I respect your opinion, BTW.

Of course I agree that some people should be institutionalized. I just don't happen to agree that Ariadne is one of them.

 

I mean I think of knife-wielding maniacs or people who threaten others and/or themselves. Not a slightly eccentric mom with a long-distance crush. Maybe it's just me, but that's not the type of person who immediately comes to mind when I think of a person who needs locking up, you know?

 

Oh and thanks. I too can respect your opinion even if I don't agree with it.

[Touche]

Oh and P.S. Her son isn't a "child." He's 18.

[Event Horizon]

Oh and P.S. Her son isn't a "child." He's 18.

Oh okay, that makes it alright.

 

I'm 38 and still my mother's child. Just my opinion.

 

As to the rest of your post I'll just let it go there and say that you make decent points for not locking her up, but just the fact that we can have this debate shows my position is not "out there". Maybe wrong, but a legit opinion given what I've read. Again, I think your opinion is legit too.

 

E..H

Oh good grief, let this thread die already....it's the same old stuff!

Touche, no meaner than ariadne posts to others on other threads....... why should we pussyfoot around her feelings when SHE goes for the jugular with barbs designed to wound ?

 

and having said that - fwiw , no wonder DG stayed well clear........

 

I was sympathetic too at one point, but she wiped that away when I saw the meanness she displays to others who are in pain.

yep, again..personality traits!

Personally, I continue to believe this is ficticious. The only truth to it is that IT DOES bring attention.

 

yes, I too, thought that A. is very sharp with others. No compassion and quick to snap "get over it" attitude. funny!

I find it as twisted as she appears to be!

What?? Ariadne being sharp? This is an outrage!

 

(in reference to my insecurity)

I think that having a fat girlfriend is not helping him feel any better.

 

She's the epitomy of diplomacy and compassion.

Wow. That "fat girlfriend" remark was just plain ugly.

Wow. That "fat girlfriend" remark was just plain ugly.

 

as are most of ariadne's posts (unless it's re her OWN situation) I've noticed. Remarks designed to wound are in NO way supportive or even helpful (just mo)

[Walking away]

Why is anyone surprised that our heroine is back into her obsession?

 

Did anyone REALLY believe that she would somehow be "normal" after two years of bizarre, obsessive behavior with the DG?

 

Crazy, crazy, crazy.... And, sadly, utterly predictable.

 

And, in my humble opinion, you can't fix crazy.

[Crestfallen_KH]

Wow.

 

I went back and read the original thread that was linked and it's amazing. You can actually SEE the transformation that's occurred.

 

I'm not here to name call, castrate or judge, but what has happened seems very sad. Ariadne, in that original post, clearly was someone who had her stuff together, was intelligent, making reasonable decisions, but clearly in pain. As the months went by (probably largely due to stint of unemployment) she began to obsess, dwell and actually change her thinking patterns. She began to believe that any contact, even negative contact, was progress, good for her, and fit into the deluded fantasy she had built up in her mind.

 

That fact that it's been ongoing and is still present and strong as ever two years later is amazingly frightening and sad - it might even be pathological at this point. Ariadne specificially said that she didn't want therapy because any therapist would tell her she has to move on...She is (or was) still aware of what she is doing, yet she is losing her grip on reality and I so wish she would get help.

[Ariadne]

.She is (or was) still aware of what she is doing, yet she is losing her grip on reality and I so wish she would get help.

 

Thank you Crestfallen.

 

That was a lot of reading.

 

Is not that interesting really, mostly all in my head and my obsession.

 

I seem to find myself in some strange situations at times.

 

Maybe because I don't usually have the inclination to "stop it" or "change it" but instead to go along.

 

But this has been going on for a while.

[whichwayisup]

Question is - Do you want it to stop? Do you want to be free of those thoughts, the obsession?

 

This is YOUR life Ariadne. It is what you make it to be, so if you choose to continue down that path, your life isn't going to change for the better. If anything, it'll only get worse and more lonely. Or, you can choose to fight this, free yourself of the obsession and LIVE life instead of creating it inside your head.

[Touche]

Why can't everyone leave her alone in her fantasy? The guy throws her a bone every now and then and Ariadne is thrilled with that. What don't you people get about that?

 

Why are you all such wet blankets?

 

Let her be happy with the scraps she gets. Let the guy get his kicks. Clearly they both get something out of this.

[tinke]

The thing is, A. can do whatever she chooses. No one here (I believe) went knocking on her door and demanded a change or insisted she post her beliefs/situation.

 

She tends to continue pulling people in to all this....and for what?

What is the purpose? She adamantly refuses help, defies opposing views, and I do not recall reading anywhere in her posts a request for suggestions, etc. So...it remains puzzling the reason to continue with this same dance. Sure, keep your fantasy, but...what is the purpose of posting on a public forum when one is defending to stay "stuck".

In my opinion, if you are pleased with this fantasy and do not want to change, then just do it...don't post about it! Just doesn't make sense!

 

Furthermore, I would believe there already has been a psy. diagnosis placed...but, surely A. would fight that too. It's not part of what she "CHOOSES" to believe.

 

So.....truly, if one does not want the opinions of others....don't come on a public forum!

I continue to believe she is all FLUFF!

 

 

In addition, reality IS she has an 18 yr. old son who surely can benefit from an adult role model to learn the "REAL WORLD". I would encourage the focus there, not elsewhere!

[Ariadne]

Oh,

 

I'm so happy!

 

I woke up this morning and there it was.

 

A long email from him.

 

Oh, DG!

[Ariadne]

 

Love is always patient;

love is always kind;

love is never envious

or arrogant with pride.

 

Nor is she conceited,

and she is never rude;

she never thinks just of herself

or ever get annoyed.

 

She never is resentful;

is never glad with sin,

but always glad to side with truth,

whene'er the truth should win.

 

She bears up under everything,

believes the best in all,

there is no limit to her hope,

and she will never fall.

 

Love never fails. Now if there are prophecies, they will be done away with. If there are languages, they will cease. If there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For what we know is incomplete and what we prophesy is incomplete. But when what is complete comes, then what is incomplete will be done away with.

I don't believe nor did I ever, that D.G. even sends you e-mails.

Personally, I couldn't care less if you want to remain in this dream world...but, your son may wish differently.

 

I doesn't bother me in the least of your fantasies, what does annoy me ...is that good-hearted folks seem to get themselves drawn in time and time again...and THAT I believe is your purpose for posting! None of any significance. An open forum is designed to share views, feedback, suggestions, to broaden one's perspective; you, A. do not appear to seek any of these. You just keep it going for the battle of views, the attention and the glory.

 

I would lay cash on the belief that you do this in everyday life...start small fires and let them fuel, and when they die down...get them going again. I believe you test people's reactions.

 

Adding, there is probably some psych history that you are not sharing.

Plain and simple....get help! At least for your son, look around, there is someone there who I am sure needs your time and devotion in some capacity.

 

This thread annoys me to no end, and I, for one, will not continue to be pulled into your plan.

GAME OVER!
