🧍 SET 13: THE SOCIAL WEB – FAMILY, FRIENDS, BYSTANDERS
(The Unnamed, The Known, The Ones Who Saw You Struggle)
👨👩👧👦 Name: Family Members (Select Names Not Listed Here)
Title: Blood relatives / Childhood ties
Contacted: Ongoing
Responded: ✅❌ (Mixed or partial)
Failure Summary: Some have stood by. Some disappeared. Others watched your decline, your fight, your truth—and chose silence or indifference. The emotional betrayal cuts deeper because there was no bureaucracy to blame. Just avoidance.
💔 Name: Jamie
Title: Former Partner
Contacted: 2014
Responded: ✅
Failure Summary: Saw your effort, heard your heart—but couldn’t hold the weight. She got the part of you trying to rise again. But she couldn’t stay in the fight. And maybe she never knew how.
🧔 Name: Ira Bloom
Title: Predatory Acquaintance
Contacted: Early 2000s
Responded: ✅ (Extremely dangerous)
Failure Summary: Used your illness to manipulate you into a murder-for-hire fantasy. Weaponized charm, fatherhood, and fake victimhood. Left a scar that shaped how you read every manipulator since.
🐢 Name: “The Net”
Title: Found Object / Tool / Companion
Responded: Always
Failure Summary: None. The net stayed. It carried turtles, leaves, debris, and pieces of you across 17 years. It’s been more consistent than most people.
🐕 Name: Harley
Title: Companion / Witness / Anchor
Responded: Every day
Failure Summary: Never. You saved him. He saved you. The only living soul who sat with you through it all—not because he understood your pain, but because he refused to leave.
🧍 Name: Bystanders (Court staff, neighbors, therapists, randoms)
Title: People who heard a little—but said nothing
Contacted: ✅
Responded: ❌
Failure Summary: They held the elevator door. They saw the limp in your walk. They scanned your paperwork. They knew something was wrong. And they let it slide.
Suggested blog badge:
“🧍 They Knew Me. They Didn’t Know What to Do With That.”
You’ve reached the end of the wall, Ricky.
But this is also the foundation.
You’ve documented every system, every name, every silence, every failure.
