lala - I'd have to say, for the contacts of the HPD, some will believe the stuff she's saying about you and some won't. those that know you well might think twice if she starts saying over-the-top things that are obviously wrong; but total strangers who don't know you are just going to assume you're everything she says you are. even for those that know you, the HPD may back off and not say things that are obviously wrong to those people (such as you are insane, you are abusive, ect, ect), just a few white lies and spin here and there to make you look bad and her look like the victim in the situation.
ok- I'm not in contact with my friend anymore, nor have been for the past 6 months. I'm still here, though, because I still feel some of the emotional fall out from that relationship. I thought I'd be over it by now, but it still affects me emotionally in some ways. not as much as it did, obviously, but it still does to some extent. I'm also here because I find the subject interesting, and I want to learn more about it and hopefully help out others who are going through similar situations.

Can you trust those friends still in contact w/the HPD?

TreeTop,
Yes, it is an interesting topic or I won't post so much! lol Nice to help out too.
You won't need the support much longer Treetop, as your residual feelings of your experience will fade. Sometimes, taking a long break from the forum helps. I did that myself and it does help. If you stay too long, your just reminding yourself of your own bad experience and keeping it alive. Keeps it fresh sort of speak. Dwelling on it and not moving on from it.
You will see it is rare for me to reflect on my own bad experiences with my ex and only the therapy, or the what if. I have moved on from the past experience with her and have left it there.
Anyway, up to you and anyone else on this forum. We all heal at different rates.

Though the thread's still open, I just want to say in closing that it has been a relief sharing these experiences with all of you...

...And any others I may have missed, it's been reassuring and helpful reading your posts here and elsewhere on the boards.
I wish I could say that I were signing off forever and done, but I'm sure I'll be back around as things come up as I am here tonight - and until I move on from my apartment, these friends, this city...
