I don't feel fooled or duped or anything of the kind.
I tried to hold out for the positive as many others did. Trying to help young-ens in the community isn't a bad thing even when there are red flags, and trying to see the best in people is definitely not a bad trait. I have no regrets.
However, being a sucker isn't a good thing either, especially if it it harms you in some way.
I did not give money, extra energy, love, attention to the point it hurt my family, away.
All i gave was the benefit of the doubt. We live, we learn, we make choices. Such is life in a nutshell.
And i do thank goodness for the admin and mods of this site for watching out for us and watching out for the site. It has to be done.
It takes a lot of different views, perspectives, visions, minds and personalities to make a village and even more to make a planet.
...and....
we move on.
