As I sit here reflecting on the craziness that has been my life lately, I can’t help but shake my head at the sheer audacity of some people. It’s like they think it’s completely acceptable to try and weasel their way into my relationship, as if they have some God-given right to my partner. Let me tell you, that is not the case!

It starts with them trying to get that all-important “in” – the key to my home, my partner’s phone number, even my kids’ father’s number. They think that once they have those access points, it’s game on. They can start constantly texting my partner, sending paragraph after paragraph, trying to convince them that I’m just some naive, easy target that they need to “rescue” from our relationship.

The nerve! As if I’m not perfectly capable of fighting my own battles. I’ve always been a one-woman army, never really needing a whole squad of people to back me up. But these vindictive, manipulative individuals just can’t seem to accept that. They have to go around, spreading rumors and making up stories, trying to turn everyone against me.

“She’s so naive!” they’ll say. “You should really be with someone like me instead.” And the worst part is, there are actually people out there who will believe their nonsense and start siding against me. Like, hello? Did I ever do anything to you? No? Then why are you suddenly on Team Crazy and trying to exclude me from my own life?

It’s so frustrating, you know? These individuals are so desperate to get their way, they’ll stoop to any level. They’ll team up with anyone they can, creating this whole army to fight their battles for them. Because heaven forbid they actually have to stand on their own two feet and face me head-on.

But you know what? That’s not going to stop me. I’m going to keep being that one-woman army, throwing my events and living my best life, with or without the “support” of these vindictive, manipulative people. Because at the end of the day, I know who I am, and I’m not going to let their petty jealousy and envy bring me down.

So if you’re out there, reading this and thinking, “Wow, that Tina really has it rough,” just know that I’m handling it. I’ve always been a fighter, and I’m not about to stop now. Bring it on, haters – this one-woman army is ready for you.
