I was scammed

I finally had the courage to delete the app I was communicating with ‘Scott’ on for over 18 months tonight. I could not deny the truth any more after a conversation with the lady who was also drawn into the web of lies who initially contacted me last week. It took me a week and one more conversation to know the truth. Scott was pressuring me for more money this week and when I told him I would delete the app last week said not to do it before he got all the money I sent back to me. I now know that was a ruse to keep me hooked in. My hair has shrunk to a third of its length on one side and this evening I was coughing up blood. As soon as I deleted the app my body felt better. I wont have to wake to messages now making demands and lying about how much he loves me ‘unconditionally and wholeheartedly’. Apparently his accomplice calls me ‘the crazy old lady’ to the woman who they used to deposit and move money around. Maybe I am. Maybe I am crazy but at least now I will be free. I don’t need to find love out there any more. I have to learn to love myself as well as I can now and face the reality that some people out there only want to lie to suit their own purposes. I am NOT going to feel sorry for myself. This is a wake up call.

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

      1. Yes give yourself enough time, it’s a lot to get your head around, acknowledge and accept. But you’ve started 🙂

      1. That’s the way to go about it, Deb. These events can be a bitter conclusion or an important lesson. By choosing to make it a lesson, you take ownership away from this individual and empower yourself.

        Thank you for your friendship as well Deb.

        Peace, friendship and better days. 🙂

      2. Yes I said yes to this. I am still grieving the person in my mind and heart he created, who is obviously a fiction. It is showing me things so it is a lesson. And I totally agree. We have to take our power back. yes, oh yes to the better days. 🙂

  4. I’m proud of you, for putting yourself first. This sort of thing can only truly be understood by those of us who have been in a situation such as this. Healing takes time, and it’s a hard road some days, but it’s worth it in the end. It makes us stronger and wiser. Sending hugs to you lovely. ❤

  5. How terrible it is for the most giving and gentle people are used and abused by the most diabolical. I am writing in hopes your health improves. I, too, became ill with liver disease (I don’t drink or use drugs) and was almost completely bed ridden for months. I have since been slowly very slowly regaining myself. The first sign I enjoyed was that I could feel pleasure for a small thing like dusting or raking. I can only hope you too regain your true self and leave this time of your life long behind. God bless you dear.

  6. I am so sorry, Deborah. The kind hearted too often get scammed like this, then are left feeling like it’s their fault when it’s not. They’re good at what they do. Even though others may tell you it sounds suspicious and like a scam, it’s not something you’ll see for yourself while you’re drawn into that web of cunning lies and manipulation. I agree with the other comments – take care of YOU now, focus on you, on your health both mental and physical. Sending lots of hugs and love your way  ♥

  7. You are an amazing, strong, kindhearted, empathetic woman. Unfortunately, kindness can be easy for people to take advantage of. Use this to further empower you and know that someone who loves you doesn’t take from you. We are all in your corner 🖤♥️

    1. It helps so much to have the support on here, Harley. I just got to a 12 step meeting to unburden. I just feel that I must have been deluded and sadly looking outside of myself for something from within. The fact is he lied. I so appreciate you reading and being there for me. It really means so much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤

  8. You got a lot of comments. I’m glad that you have lots of friends. Scammers cannot and should not get away with it. The friend that turned traitor and scammed me for a few hundred is back in touch with me. He had already told me about this investment company that I think is somewhat of a scam too, I told him I haven’t started in on him yet just watch for his own story on there.
