Chapter 9

Who is a stalker, or should I rather say what is the meaning of a stalker?

A stalker is a person who harasses or persecutes someone with unwanted and obsessive attention.

Can I really define this man as a stalker? Can I really place him in this perfect box and label it ‘Stalker’?

He does not harass me physically. This, he does not do. He actually likes to make me think I’m in total control.

But lately, I have felt harassed emotionally.

He has inserted himself in my life so easily that I’m alarmed. This man has resources. Really good ones.

Am I safe? I do feel safe. For now. But my idea of being safe is slowly slipping. Will he hurt me?

Can he...hurt me?

No.

Well, I believe he can hurt me; but I don’t believe he will. How do I know this? The thing is I don’t. I just trust him. Why I trust him is beyond my comprehension right now.

The definition of a stalker also talks about obsessive and unwanted attention.
