Surviving a Deaf Con-Artist’s Lies: An Ex-Wife’s ASL Story

The experience of having someone trick or deceive you for their own financial gain or other benefit can have a serious impact your mental health. In addition to feelings of betrayal, shame, and vulnerability, being scammed or conned can lead to feelings of increased anxiety, mistrust of others, and a loss of self-confidence in one’s judgment. It takes time and support from loved ones to heal and regain a sense of security. Lisa reflects on how she ended up in a marriage to a con artist and offers advice on how to avoid this.

Lisa... your ex-husband came to my house with a limo....5 stars restaurant. He said please come join me for free. I am married. But he was out of town on business. I said to him. Not without my husband. He was very nasty with me. I said no. Oh Lisa, I am so sorry you had to go through those horrid experiences. I'm glad that you remarried to a great husband and 3 beautiful children. I hope you remember me....love you

Thank you for sharing your story. Con artists are good at getting away with things until they are not. Thank you for the warning.

[@Okieagle73]

They cannot get away from God will have them on Judgement Day. Forgive them.

[@madflyttvsin4661]

I’m sorry for what you went through like that way. I messed up with my life when I used money laundering and Ponzi scheme. I can see you went really worse than I could ever imagine. I’m glad that you’re good.

[@AbandonedGhost]

Thank your for sharing your story..

[@deliamak]

I have a few questions. What were the red flags that you found about him? When did you realize that he manipulated you? Please let me know, so I could protect myself from con artists. Thank you.

[@Okieagle73]

You're not the only one. Jesus warned me not to marry my ex-husband was a lot of liars and manipulated, back stabbed and bad name me that told everyone from where I was born in my state in Oklahoma, and he was not. I was 33 years old at that time. He was born in Texas. No one want to hire me a job and everything went down, like a drain. I have no choice, but to move to Texas to where my children live in. So, I moved there and live one of my children. I am born deaf. My ex-husband was not born deaf, but became deaf as he was illness, when 1 year old more or less. Then I divorced him. He haunted my SS, Welfare and my address, etc. He won't stop. I forgive him. We have been married for 2 1/2 years and I divorced him. I moved on. I have my children safe with me. That was it. I am 70 years old. Never married again, no date again. I am happy to stay single, for good. This is for our good with our experience with trial, triumphant, and tribulation.

[@SholandaPurifoy]

You r right I agree with you I'm glad I'm single wonderful life good

[@andriana.canning53]

Wow! Thanks for your sharing your important information. It’s very helpful for all of us. I agree with you about Trump and valuable democracy which I cherish. Good thing that you didn’t fall in the pit and that you’re enjoying your own life with family. Phew!

[@Turtlerabbit85]

YES your experiences helps me because you said the words "mental abuse" and listen to "inner voice" I can related with you. "Nobody believe you what you saw and you're not exist." Bad side in my mental health said that and i didn't like it. I didn't understand what panic attack until i harmed my family with my burst at them. I realized i need help. Two wks ago my PN siad i need therapy counsel. Because of few situation in the past a man manipulated to people who i love. I tried tell them, they wont believe me until my mind "you don't exist." That made my heart do not want to live anymore. I quit company around with him and her. I need to live for my dog and for my brothers and my parents. I just left a company area. I can't do it anymore. Yes listen to inner voice. That not from god. its from your mental health. God made body included instinct. Listen to inner voice yes.

[@debbykay9113]

Wow wow! I’m glad Ure in better place and life! Please do not take this wrong…before everything happened..I always like trump better than other one..I have my own opinions..I’m very shock what trump done but he was good guy back then. Just saying.

[@jewdd1989]

Glad you saw the good in him, Trump has been the most honest President I’ve witnessed in my time and America was much better off with him running the country. Prior to 2020 I didn’t care about politics but when I see so many go extreme left… woke me up! I’d much rather be offended by his very open opinions than manipulated, controlled and lied to by the left! The crimes he’s been accused and charged of are Unconstitutional and unjust and I worry we the ppl will be next. Not to patronize or start an argument but you’re not crazy for liking the guy!!! Take care

[@mermaidlady1437374]
