Hello Jean Tanner and welcome,
You have come to right place for support as well as telling your story. Like you I was scammed out of a great deal of money, fortunately for me, it has only affected me and not my family. I have opted to go on with life and do all the things I want to do only with abit of caution where the wallet is concerned.
I am glad you are telling your story via facebook and any other means possible, it is the only way we can stop these horrible creatures that the devil has created.
We cannot allow the scammer to win by also taking our self-esteem and confidence, and I am sorry you still feel that void, but you lost much more than money, and I hope someday, because you are vocalizing your story, that others will listen and learn from your experience. I hope that someday, your family will realize the good you are doing in supporting others with your story.
Everyone on this site is experienced in helping with support in the healing and recovery process. Yes it is hard to tell your story, but the more you can tell it and be listened to, the easier it becomes.
Also, there is a great chat room on this site, and I hope you will come and join us. We have serious discussions as well as laughter - laughter is so good for the soul and the healing process.
Please take care of yourself, RF
A scammer is only as good as the fear he creates.
