When everything goes too well...

LISTEN TO YOUR INSTINCT.

Sometimes, there's this inner voice in yourself that screams at you saying '' there's something wrong here !!! ''

Well, i should have listen to this. Here's my story, be prepare, i'm french, my englis is far from being perfect.

I was in an dating site. A girl come to talk to me, long story short....she strip and ask me to do the same....and i did

Then it stop and the suposed 28 y-o girl that i saw in her webcam was a guy just posting a video of some webcam girl. He said to me that if i dont send him 200$ he will tell everyone that i ....M********* while looking at a 8 yo girl...WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE !!! IM no freaking pedo !

Anyways he show me a youtube link. The video was me....on my webcam...doing something....

The video had information about me that he gather talking to me. On the video all those infos were there.

He also said that he will send that video to all my family saying that i was a pedophile WHICH IS NOT THE CASE !!! The girl on the video was in her 20s at least.

Then, because i,ve added '' her '' inf FB, she posted the link of this video everywhere on my profile.

I've contacted my family to tell them all this shamefull situation...I've contacted the police, after closing all my social media.

I felt ashamed for a long time. But Wayne and the people on this forum provided me help confort and streng to carry on. The two weeks after the incident have been real hard. People asking me why i was closing my social medias, making up excuses. But, on a positive note, since that i've closed my account AFTER sending messages to my family, those messages have been deleted automaticly without anyone seeing them. Which was a Good thing.

A word of advice, dont tell everyone. Give information only if you deem it necessary. It will keep this kind of situation under YOUR control and give you the opportunity to heal and learn from this bad experience. When i look back this really helped me. After three week i can say that i've passed over this incident and learn from it and got stronger. My life is back to normal, even if i still think about it, i always overcome the bad feeling comming from this. I know that i'm stronger that this weak fool !

So this is where i am now, healed and back on track, even if i would have prefered that it never happen to me. If your living this situation, seek help here, we are all here to help you and gladly will. Stay strong and you'll be able to get by it !
