My Dear Jon Brooks ➖

Recently stumbling through the titles, I came upon your “Stoic’s guide to difficult relationships and dangerous people” (ad-libbing the title) and I was intrigued to learn more. It has emerged that the president of our Home Owners Association (HOA) may have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Early on, she let me know her dislike of me by directing the General Manager taking actions against me. We have had five GMs in 5 years time.

She leaves breadcrumbs as you describe in your lessons, and I do have an inquisitive and investigative persona.

The detective in me has found astonishing breaches of laws, such as a RICO scam that raised our property insurance premiums by $100,000 annually (to be repaid by everyone to the HOA in 10% higher monthly payments) , while simultaneously lowering the construction replacement cost by $8 Million Dollars.

My real anguish with the HOA stems from them charging their attorney invoices to my HOA account without due process. This amounts to a “taking of property without due process” in violation of The Constitution 5th and 14th Amendments.

I have taken the whole course the first day, and revisited many times.

I did a search, as one does, partly because I want to pay it forward and reward you for your life-changing counsel, and partly to find more vocal guidance from you. My hunt was well-rewarded to find more titles, and to Zelle you some coin.

Back to my story, it appears that the deliberations are heading toward court. I am aligning with legal counsel, and I have mental health support every other week with a licensed social worker.

I am using an 🅰️ℹ️ app for my iPhone called otter that is helping me write this five year story.

My focus in writing ✍🏼 you is to get some general ideas to take actions to keep this legal process moving forward in a stately, dignified way — yet not veer into the ditch of making things worse.

Parenthetically, your voice resonates with me.

Thanks, Jon, a worthwhile perspective for day’s end.
