A note to Sarah about online scammer

Dear Sarah
Most of us on this forum got hurt by MENA men at different extend,and that is the reason we all came here-to heal and to get an advice,and at the end stage of healing -to be able to help someone who is in our shoes now.
Yes ,it is a hard lesson to learn,
but you have to love yourself first!

I will be harsh and blunt to say such things but wanted to point out that we at times got so invested and involved with someone we barely know,that we biuild or future dreams about how the things have to be,creating that perfect illusion in our heads and projecting it onto someone we wanted to be our "dream man".
At times we let someone to manipulate us and use our best qualities against us,in order for them-to get what they need...Unbelievable!!!!
Especially, if you grew up among kind and caring people -it is hard to believe that someone you met ,even online,can be so cruel and selfish,that he can break your heart in no time and take advantage of you !!!

Unfortunately,this is hard pill to swallow...some lower creatures,poor excuse of a man, are capable of using beautiful,smart and wealthy women to their advantage,and nothing can stop them!
They have no heart and have an ice in their veins to use their sweet talk,future faking for you ,in order to get what they need,using your emotions against you.

Learn to love and respect yourself!
You have to set the boundaries ,no one allowed to cross!

Judge people by their deeds,let them prove themselves to you,before giving your heart away to someone you barely know.
Consider yourself blessed to have cut all the ties and remain no contacts!!!I know it will be hard at first but time truly heals!
You don't need that crap (pardon my «French") in your life!

Hugs!
We are her for you if you need.
