Full Narrative

During summer 2024, I regularly visited the car shop with issues related to vehicle problems. One time the hood actually popped. Person I formerly had a long-term relationship with knew I was very sensitive about the problems with that car and had used its problems against me before during abusive discussions. The ongoing mechanical failures—particularly the dramatic hood incident—felt less like bad luck and more like calculated sabotage designed to trigger anxiety and drain my resources.
