i thought i had this worry somewhat under control and, somewhat, i do. but i am awake at 3am, 4 now, so not entirely, i guess. when the sun comes up i have to call the insurance representative woman to find out the latest news on the insurance scamming woman who is suing me. i imagine i will be taken for everything i have and, although i am greatly comforted knowing it is crap and that i did nothing wrong (i would be hysterical if i had!) still i’m up in the wee hours. i did get some sleep, though, so that shows improvement. and, on some level, i’m aware that i almost welcome this development in a way, as yet another fantasy escape scenario, even though that’s worst case thinking, i know.
the other thing that comes out of it is the awareness of the community that’s fostered here. i actually hadn’t posted about this for several hours after i found out about it, precisely from “old tapes” kind of thinking (coupled with denial, of course) but then i realized it’s reading everybody’s plights that makes this thing of mine easier to bear, whatever it is, and so i need to put it out there myself, don’t i. yas. it’s probably nothing. or something, but not as bad as i’m imagining. or something. i will find out in a few hours what the next step is, anyway. i’m going to have glass of milk now.
my own next steps are studying and beginning the art job on monday! yeah!

Now that does sound like a nightmare. Not knowing the details - I hope justice prevails and you are not squeezed!
I agree with you - perhaps it is that misery loves company - though I am also happy when people I know have good things happen to them.
Take care and sleep - you will be better able to handle any decisions with some rest.
just before christmas, i was the “victim” of one of those scammers who, in this case, threw on her brakes when the light turned green at the end of a freeway offramp, instead of going, so that i would run into her. only i didn’t really run into her, i just touched her bumper as, being a good driver (not one thing on my record ever) I had taken my foot off the brake but not yet put it on the gas. there was no damage, the sherriff’s ofifce came and didn’t cite anybody, i even took pictures of the back of her car which showed there was no damage (carrying a camera at all times for art reasons has its advantages.) still a couple of days later my insurance called me to say the woman was claiming INJURIES. with no damage at all to either car, and two intact bumpers, now injuries. and not even through her insurance company, directly through her lawyer.
last night i got another call that there was some movement in the case and that is what i will have to find out when the sun comes up. is all. there’s nothing i can do about it, whatever it is. and since i did nothing at all to deserve this, i am really able to take a rather detached view of it all. they may take everything, yes, but they will be wrong. i will go on. and it may be “nothing.” i think best case is the insurance will handle it and my rates will double which, while i’m semi-employed, is a difficulty. but who knows?
well it sounds like you documented it well - the fact that the sheriff’soffice didn’t cite anyone should be helpful. If you do get your insurance company involved - stay on them. It’s their job to protect you against these BS types. Good luck - update as you see fit - I’ll be thinking of you!
it’s okay. i just spoke with my insurance lady (who miraculously is very nice and informational and soothing, like talking with a friend)!) and she says she had to call me because the lawyer had made a claim to the limits of my policy and they have to call on that. she says it’s ridiculous and that they won’t settle beyond nuisance value, and they don’t ever settle unless they get a complete release signed so they can’t come after me later. so we’re back to the worst case being my insurance going up, and there hasn’t yet been any info about that--but a few hours ago that was the “best case!”
so nothing new, it will be fine. she says it’s not worth worrying about. so i won’t.
