.......how's that for an opening line? But, that's how it goes for
me at the moment. I met my psychopath three months ago and now he's
gone and I'm $4,500 poorer and questioning what reality is.
Everything he told me was a lie.....EVERYTHING. He told me he loved
me and wanted to marry me and I told him the same. He lied to me
about his profession, where he lives, where his parents live, his
educational background, past marital status, children, financial
status, etc. etc. I thought I had met the man of my dreams - turns
out, he was the man of my nightmares. I'm not exaggerating...the
night before I met him I had a nightmare about a shark attacking a
seal. I know he was the shark.

I look around my apartment for remnants of him and there is nothing.
I guess I am looking for something concrete - out of something that
is just so incomprehensible. None of my friends or family can
understand the "mind@#$%" this has done on me.

Tomorrow is my first session with a therapist - I hope it helps.

Sorry to be such a bummer but I have nowhere else to vent.
