Please don't worry about the people calling you a liar. Why would you lie? There are countless other women this has happened to and have posted on this board - I'm one of them. ...

I am so sorry you are yet another woman taken in by one of these evil losers. It is the worst feeling in the world. Block and cut off everyone and everything connected to him, even the other women he is doing this to. There's really nothing you can do to help them, and it just keeps you emotionally involved. If it makes you feel better, tell them you are doing this, and why. Direct them to this board. They can ask for support from the women here who broke free and healed. You need to take care of you. Hang in there - it will get better, but only if you disengage. I've found Jennifer Smith at True Love Scam to be a big help. Email her at jennifer@truelovescam.com to talk to her and get on her mailing list. This happened to her, and now she counsels others. Someone on this board directed me to her. You have the support of those of us who have also gone through this experience. You're not alone. <3
