Sorry to be replying to you under these circumstances...and I hope these words find you safe. As I read about this situation I couldn't help but question a few things, in an effort to fully understand and advise...1). Why are so many people in this situation who, I believe, should be loyal to the female (friends/family) seem to be holding "open forums" with this male who has only been present 8mos?....was he in the picture prior to the 8 month romantic relationship? as a friend?.... Is he an incredibly talented manipulator and to what end does he wish to attain? (getting back together with you, ruining your life, etc...).. Why does it matter, what is the importance of labeling you as Bi polar? Many people are diagnosed and function with Bi polar disorder...I guess I do not see the goal he is trying to achieve...because if he is using Bi polar in an effort to dis-credit you... he should do his homework...
Ok enough of the details, lets get down to the roots of this situation and work to overcome it...
My take on your tarot reading can be summed up with one word...power...He wants power over you and uses manipulation tactics with those close to you to regain the power he once had in your life (since he no longer has power over you in your relationship)...However, the twist is that the only "real" power he possesses is by influencing the way others look at/think about you...Which ONLY fuels his power lust because, deep down, you truly are affected and controlled by what you "perceive" others to think about you. If you didn't care what people thought, his slander and defamation would have no power over you.
Your reading was incredibly focused and straight-forward...In order to overcome this situation you have to develop confidence and acceptance within yourself. Set healthy boundaries with those in your life and if they cannot abide by them, cut them out of your future. (i.e.no more talking to ex..if friends/family want to, then you will not speak with them.) Remember the power of the swords cards...They have the power to help/defend you or else cut/wound you...the card details the motive but their real influence/effect can only be decided by you...You must decide what you value, what is truly important to you and your future, learn from your past, and make decisions that will improve "your" life...now...
Drop him and anyone talking to him, visit with a counselor or domestic abuse advocate.. whether or not you feel you need to talk with someone, it will provide you with a documented and credible account of the ex and what he has done/continues to do from a victim stand point, which may help if cops and legal issues are coming.. Be pro-active, one-step ahead of him and his manipulations...put the power back where it belongs....with you... Good luck! Take care! Be safe!
