One month has passed and no further sign of this person.

I think I was wrong here, and just came to be manipulated by a highly skilled manipulator, who probably now switched onto another younger lawyer who could be "not paid" just like I could be "not paid" when he switched onto me from my former law firm in the first place.

I thus think Lucio and John's suggestion was right, and my "intuition" was wrong here.

Chalking it up to learning and a bad decision on my side.

So I'm even more convinced I'll now always push for payment after doing work.

Or at the very least, in "in-doubt situations", leaving the invoice as it is, so that my "credit" is kept always on.

This very client, totally unexpectedly, sent me a bottle of sparkling wine for Christmas.

I am really puzzled by his behavior.

At the same time I feel the uncertainty in me has nonetheless reduced.

Kind of "doesn't matter what he's doing, I have learned now to keep my bar steady should we interact again".

Nice, I liked that one a lot.

I think it shows that you're starting to become more and more mentally independent/empowered.

The game player can play his game, but he's not gonna command much real estate in your mind.

And it's not even a struggle in the sense of "no, I'm not gonna let you", but more like a natural, effortless consequence of your new way of being.
