It is a game. It has to be.
Taking this rediculous shit too seriously will drive us nuts.
So, recognize how pathetic 'they' all are. Highlight that reality for ourselves, keep their noses rubbed in the stench they emmit, and keep the chess pieces well monitored and played.
Win the game STalkers!
The hard part is that for some, the game never ends.
IMHO of course.

keep the chess pieces well
This. I keep my ear to the ground because of Little Idiot's lies. If I didn't, when she comes with a sob story/lie about why she needs money/needs to move back in I won't fall for it.
We must always be on guard
We must always be on guard and it's a tough way to live. If we're not one step in front of them, expecting their next move, we get hit by the proverbial StepBus. **BAM!! Didn't see THAT ONE coming!**
But you are so right, Rags. "Taking this rediculous shit too seriously will drive us nuts."
I was enjoying an SD mental vacation for a few months and it was glorious. But those vacays seldom last very long in Stephell.
You just predicted my Friday night!
SD23 Feral Forger called me last night. Not to talk to me, just because her dad wasnt answering his phone. And I made the mistake of picking up and attempting a conversation which I blogged on. And today Im thinking about how she really played us. She only said "I need to live there for a month", but never mentioned the why behind it.
I played a really bad game of checkers trying to see if she would at all apologise. She hung up on me instead.
I found that my counselling
I found that my counselling made a huge difference for me. I was able to deal with what emotional wounds caused me to be triggered and the more I healed, the more I saw how ridiculous some people are and the more I could just be a quiet observer. Perspective really changes when you realize that certain people can no longer affect you at all, let alone hurt you. In fact, it can be quite entertaining sometimes. Recognizing how pathetic some people are while having faith in yourself and knowing your reality really changes the game. I've been finding that most of the game-players in my life have started gunning for other people because I've ended my part of the game. People like that get bored with one-sided games, so they'll just move on and expose themselves to others.
On Guard
I was a huge failure in StepHell and let it get the best of me. All good now, though. Counseling, reading, learning boundarie and recognizing the only way to "fix" StepHell here was to disengage completely and stay away from the crazies. I keep a close watch though.
I don't know if it's as much of a game as it is damn warfare. The game ends and everyone goes on their happy way. The warfare of StepHell can leave one severly wounded and causes much distruction.
The crew here still tries to get their digs in. Bombarded DH with a ton of pics.....two of BM. Well, one of BM and one of her headstone with her pic on it. No worries. DH told me, deleted and I laughed. CajunMom for the win.
I can go with War Game rather than plain old Game.
Leaning more towards the War side than the Game side.
Either way, it has to be played to win, every day, every incident, until there are no more incidents.
CajonMom's case, the opposition Queen has been retired. Permanently. Now all that is left is to keep BM's pawns in check.
All kinds of snarky insensitive comments went through my head regarding the pic of BM's headstone that the failed family progeny text to DH.
Really?
BM.
As for graves, I have long held the fantasy of pissing on SpermGrandHag's coffin in front of the entire SpermClan as it is lowered into her particular hole to hell. Where she belongs. Of course I wouldn't. But... oh how I would love to.
Me being the angel in this case. Of course.
