Well I never thought that there would be people out there let alone on this website. Without going into names, I need to tell my story.
I lost my husband October 18, 2016 and it was the hardest day of my life, being together for 33 years, I never thought I would be on a website like this, but here I was typing my heart out, and letting people know what I was going through. Well months had passed and then I get a nice note from someone, and we struck up a conversation, weeks later we were exchanging personal emails. Yes I guess you could say I thought not in a million years, I would let down my guard. Well I did and all the things that were exchanged. The I love yours, you are so beautiful Then something out of the blue happened and I fell for it now I am paying for it. Literally.
So all the ladies out there beware of a man asking for your personal email or go on Skype. He will say he works overseas, ask for gmail, Skype or yahoo emails. I did not have an Facebook page but he did but now it is gone. He will say things to make you feel good and put your guard down. It happened to me, and I fell for his charm, and when he said he fell in love with me in a hurry I fell for that too. He told me I was beautiful and now that I think of it he never once asked anything personal. Then he did something that I will never recover. I will not mention names, but if you want to message me I will talk in further details.
I know not everyone on this site is like that, but to let you know that one door closes and another opens, and it has happened to me, you may have lied to me and made me feel special and then dropped me, but know this what you took from me can be replaced eventually. I may have been fooled, but I don't want others to be.
i am here to heal and not be used. I won't be used again, and now I am more careful more than ever. I have come back stronger than ever.
IF anyone has any questions please feel free to message me.

Today I feel grateful. Grateful for my dog Blue (Blue Jean Baby Queen, Prettiest girl I've ever seen). Grateful I'm still kickin'. Grateful I'm finally taking responsibility for my health. Grateful I own my home. Grateful for good friends and neighbors who watch over me. Grateful to God for His everlasting love and patience with me. Grateful I survived the 10 years since my wife of 30 years...

Again sweetie, I'm so sorry...my thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Warm hugs,
Darcie
It is easy though to be prey to unscrupulous people because we just want and crave and miss that feeling of being loved back. It just feels so good when it's knocking on your door that it's hard to close it if need be.
Again, I praise you highly for sharing your story with us! If it has helped at least one person to see the light and save them from the heartache...then you my dear are their angel!
(((HUGS)))
