I never thought I would be a victim, just proves how wrong you can be, I have been in an abusive marriage for many years, getting worse since the children grew up & left. No conversation with my husband who was going deaf any way, but was a reclusive type as well, he had a behaviour problem, so I never wanted to go out with him even he had, for fear of being shown up, outside I was different. No one outside knew. But I was lacking love, same old story really, a friend said to join a dating agency, I did & for along while was schooled by what I thought was a55 year old English man, love words etc. came in fast & furious,then he said he had to go abroad to work, he had his own building company, our correspondence got more & Texts& intense phone calls etc. as well, then he had an accident on site & as he was in charge he was to blame, he asked me for money to get home so he could go out & pay compensation to the injured man..like a stupid fool I did. I cant explain it to myself even now l know is I feel so mad at myself for falling for this it was so expertly done too. He had stolen a genuine English man’s identity I even went on line to check,. What an idiot I have been I feel so ashamed of what I did. I actually feel like killing myself right no but won’t, I am laying in bed as I write this its 12.40pm on a Saturday & unheard of for me to ever lay in but I am in despair, am I the only mad woman to have done this? I cant even believe I did it… please help me realise I am not alone it might make me be able to come to terms with what I have done. Needless to say no one else knows I am too ashamed.
