The Con Artist, (FINISHED! WHOOAH!) |
Blue Host Discount
| I have always prided myself on being smart.There is no way anyone could ever con me.UNTIL..........It was very recent after my divorce.I had been married 18 years.Although, I was (and am) very secure with me. I became very lonely.How does one go from being an 18 year old child to be married their whole adulthood, to be alone?I found myself slipping deeper and deeper into depression.I swore at one point the loneness would kill me.I MADE myself do everything I HAD to do for my child.Then two days before Thanksgiving I had an accident.I CRUSHED not broke, but Crushed my wrist into 100's of pieces.I can't begin to describe the pain.But I will try.When I gave birth I was in labor every 60 seconds for over 48 hours.Before my emergency C-Section.This didn't even compare to the pain I was feeling.There is no way in HELL any pain could be worse.I was alone.A single mother.With a small business to run, employees, house, bills to pay.They said I needed surgery.But all the doctors were on vacation for the holiday.I had to wait five days.When nobody could see me I?laid in bed crying.I called the hospital a few times and begged.PLEASE I need surgery NOW!But they refused.Finally the day came for my first surgery.(Other than the C-section) I was so scared.So alone.But I HAD to go on.I HAD to do it all for my child.After the surgery?I had 4 screws sticking 2 inches above my skin from my bone.The pain never got any better.They said I would have screws for at least three more months.When I went to the grocery store people would cringe.?Or stare as if I were a freak of nature.I had always felt for the elderly being in such pain and all alone.Then this happened.I had even more sympathy and respect for them.I never really understood how hard the simplest task could be.So impossible with one arm.I couldn't do dishes.I couldn't sweep and mop the floor, At times I had to ask my 6 year old child to pull my pants up.There were so many things I could no longer do.I WAS alone!Except a child who depended on ME!To be continued in this blog.I will repost as I finish.(This could take a while.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PART TWOShortly before my accident I had met someone.A prince I was sure.He was so kind to me. Called to check on me. Told me all the beautiful things that any girl longs to hear.Still in so much pain.Drugged on all kinds of medicine.Depressed.But smart and stable enough to know I must go on.I have to take care of all of my responsibilities somehow. |
| I have to take care of all of my responsibilities somehow.So I put on a smiling face when I worked.Continued to do a great job.Nobody had much of a clue what I was really going though.I was alone within myself and my pain.They were on the outside.It seemed the world had decided to turn it's back on me. At a time I was so down everyone around me would hurt me more.You would think they would offer to help.Come to my rescue.But instead it is almost like they thought " QUICK KICK her while she is down."My employee quit within 2 weeks of my accident.I hired a new one to start the following day.Spoke to her about the things I could no longer do.As she looked down at my screws sticking out like Frankenstein.The next morning came and she never?showed up for work.As devastated as I already was, now I sunk even lower.I HAD to do this work one way or another by myself.I CAN'T let this Biz fail.I kept telling myself.That I did.Just another kick.I am even more lower but I WILL get up.That day I hurt myself even more trying to do the job I had hired her for.I kept smiling as I would go into the bathroom to break down.Then walk back out smiling again.The pain.I couldn't seem to find anyone to help me. Except my child.She needed me more than I her.I "tried" to look at the good side.All that I have, My child, a home, a biz, food on the table.I am not sure it brought me much comfort.Not to mention this new Prince I had.He was amazing!I didn't get to see him often he worked out of town.He owned pretty good sized company.Had money to spare.Told me one day when this BIG job was done how happy he was going to make me. All the things any girl would want to hear.Specially me being as down as I was.He had it so together.The holidays were nearing.I wasn't sure how I was going to accomplish all these things that were so hard AND make a good Christmas for Gabrielle too.Again I KNEW I had to.My next door neighbor came over and told me how she knew I must need help and would clean for me! HOORAY!A sign of relief.At first I thought this was just a kind gester.Then she went on to say she will clean this coming Friday.But needed the money now to buy her kids Christmas presents.Oh well.I was still happy to have the help.I gave her about $100.00.Friday came and she never showed.All I could do was cry more.Another kick.With every kick? |
| With every kick?I seemed to slip?farther away within myself.I didn't really feel sorry for myself.I just couldn't understand why So many bad things were happening to me in such a short time.Then people seem to be spitting on me. Why I thought.I must have done something really bad to deserve this.To be continued...........~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PART THREE (FINAL)I got a comment below from Mr. Bus Driver.He said "I see we are building up the whole mindset...I guess the mindset can make one more easily conned."I always knew he was a smart one.:o)I think now I am just going to skip the chase.I know most of you understand my mind set by now.It is a very long story.IF I continued on this route this blog could end up being a novel.One more key thing that happened.Over Christmas my mother was here.She said " Ang I don't know how you do it.I once broke my arm.Mine was not even crushed like yours.Everything was so hard.I felt so helpless.And I was MARRIED with no kids living with me. Here you are a single mother, with a biz.I would be suicidal."I just smiled.Holding back my tears.She never knew.And still doesn't unless her husband who is on the internet happens to see this.YES, my sweet Prince conned me out of almost $55,000!Under normal circumstances NOBODY could out smart me.With the way things were going (the loneliness, depression, pain and all the medications.)He "almost" took me big time.Right after the New Year.I was starting to feel better.Coming off the medications.Things knew this all along were becoming much clearer.I realized "WAIT A MINUTE THINGS ARE NOT ADDING UP!"I confronted him.Of course he had one story after another as he always had.But now I was coming out of the haze."NOPE, UH HUH."I KNOW how things are.They DO NOT work like this.I got into the bath tub.Crying some more.How could I?I felt so STUPID!Embarrassed and ashamed.NOW I had hit an all time low.I picked up the phone and called my girlfriend.Spilled the beans to her.The only person I ever have until now.She said "ANGIE WTF are you doing? |
| The only person I ever have until now.She said "ANGIE WTF are you doing?I know YOU!If ANYONE can fix this YOU can!""I know.But I am so down" I can't get up.I replied."ANGIE!DON'T BE LIKE THIS.EVEN THE SMARTEST OF WOMEN GET CONNED.MY GOD GIRL LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH!NO WONDER!YOU ARE ONLY HUMAN.I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ANG.AND IF ANYONE CAN FIX THIS YOU CAN."At that moment I knew she was right.I told her so.And that I have to go.I got out of that tub and started cracking heads.This is a long story too.Let's just say I know the law and how to manipulate things MY way.I had "Raymond" (his name) so scared.I told him " Had things been normal for me, you would have NOT got this far!YOU FUCKED with the wrong person this time!"I fixed it all.I did find out that Raymond has done this to many many people.Amost everything he said to me was a lie.?So many HATE him.But he seems to not have a conscious.Or much fear someone will kill him.No, I don't mean me. I would never harm him or any living creature.I would never even do the things that he did to me. But Others would.I forgive him.He is human.Although I know him NOT to be right in the head.Maybe even PURE evil.But human at that.I respect he is human.I found him on the internet.http://profile.the internet.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=193320315BEWARE!!!As for my wrist.A few months later the screws were removed.But my wrist was dead.Would not move at all.The doctor told me " I would be LUCKY to ever get 30% of it back."It is now 98% NORMAL!As with everything in my life.I learned something and became stronger.Things I can pass on to hopefully spare others.Some being ANYONE can be conned under the right circumstances.ALWAYS GO with YOU GUT!If things don't add up you have the RIGHT to question it.When you have a down state of mind things spiral out of control.Negative ATTRACTS Negative.Peace be with you. |
