If You Don’t Speak Up, You Deserve the “Relationship” You’re In
You know what living under this board feels like?
It’s like being stuck in a bad marriage – except instead of one partner gaslighting you, we have five of them, and they bill us for the privilege.
🧠Phase 1: “It’s Not That Bad”
In every toxic marriage, there’s the honeymoon stage.
You tell yourself:
“Sure, they spent $178,000 on stairs nobody uses… but maybe they know something I don’t.”
Sound familiar?
That’s denial, sweetheart.
It’s how they get you to stop asking questions… while they keep signing cheques with your money.
đź’¸ Phase 2: Financial Abuse
In a healthy relationship, you share a budget.
In this marriage?
You hand over your wallet, and they say:
“Don’t worry about the details. Trust us.”
Translation:
$300,000 blown on litigation, surprise special assessments, and “consultants” who consult nothing.
This isn’t trust – it’s financial hostage-taking.
🗣️ Phase 3: Emotional Gaslighting
Ask a question? You’re “difficult.”
Point out a fact? You’re “unstable.”
Write a blog exposing waste and lies? Suddenly, you’re the villain.
Sound like a healthy relationship to you?
Didn’t think so.
🚪 Phase 4: Stay or Leave
In real marriages, you can walk away.
Here, you can’t leave without selling your home, so the only way out is speaking up, voting them out.
And yet, so many sit quietly while this board:
- Fails to consult you before massive spending
- Runs secret litigation behind your back
- Treats residents like inconveniences instead of owners
Silence is consent.
And if you keep quiet at the town hall on October 8, you’re basically saying:
“Yes, dear. Spend whatever you like. We love being ignored.”
🏛️ History Has Taught Us
Staying silent never ends well – whether it’s bad governments or bad marriages.
When you don’t demand accountability, you get exactly what you tolerate: more abuse, more gaslighting, and more bills.
✊ Speak Up or Accept Your Fate
On October 8, you get to choose:
- Demand their resignation and take your community back
- Or… keep nodding politely while they wreck your finances and rewrite reality
Because in this marriage, there’s only one safe word left: ENOUGH.
