@Selmar I'm very happy for the support you get here, as you need all the help you can get in your battles with the past and what has been done to you and your girlfriend. But I've warned you before and I would like to add: be careful with promoting your own vlog too much and asking for donations, as this will be used against you by the Jarvisses to make it look like you are jealous of them and are only telling lies to gain subscribers.
I have a feeling you are still holding too high regards when it comes to Stephanie and Isabelle, who will most definitely do anything to stop you from telling your truth. They are not your friends! Maybe they once were and I can totally relate to the fact that you thought they were (they play a convincing game to make it look that way) but they certainly don't have your best interest at heart, you must realize that by now?
It is my belief that if you want Natalia Olivieto to be held accountable for what she did to you and your girlfriend, you have to also question her employers motives not to have done that in the first place. You asked Stephanie for help, she probably said she would and then nothing happened. That must have made you suspicious somehow?
@Clara Burnett You are exactly correct!
In the beginning, IJ hated that phone in her face all the time. However at about the time of lockdown, when that money started rolling in, her whole persona changed.
Money can and will do some very evil things to people.
@Selmar I hope you feel a modicum of validation. Many of us saw the change towards you happening real time, and we did not like it.
Having said that, many of us, if not all of us, at one time were used, emotionally abused, gaslighted etc. by unscrupulous people. It is a very difficult thing to process especially when we are trying our best and doing our best from the heart. It is hurtful, confusing and frustrating to feel emotionally betrayed by someone. The feelings of self doubt
Am I the one who is wrong? Crazy? Mean? are debilitating... One does not want to believe it happened, then when realization hits, one feels anger, frustration and sometimes shame.
You have always acted from the heart and so you must hold that and learn to amputate the negative people out of your life.
They are the problem.
It happened to me like it has to others...
It is the silliest of things, but I had a 'friend' who in hindsight was a psychologically stunted narcissistic mean girl. Beautiful, engaging, and charming on the outside, hideous, manipulative, and deceitful on the inside. She saw me as the queen bee mom in the school yard (yes this situation is that stupid) and she wanted to knock me off my perceived perch.
First the love bombing and the grooming, then the gas lighting, lies, and character assassination.
The principal of the school (yes it got that bad!!) said to me
Don't you see what she is doing? She wants to be the queen bee.
The absolute embarrassing stupidity of it all but it was destructive!
I was angry, confused, hurt and especially embarrassed over all of it for a couple years. Then I let it go. Sometimes I still see the person who treated me abominably in a store, at events, or walking down the street. Oddly this person has tried to talk to me. I continue walking right past her as if she doesn't exist, I unfriended her, blocked her, erased her...
A few weeks ago I was taking a walk with a friend. We passed the old nemesis and she sheepishly smiled, said Hi and stopped, thinking I was going to stop and do a nice little chat catch up. My friend and I did not miss a beat in our conversation and kept going. When we got to the corner my friend asked if I knew that person. I told her I used... She laughed. When I told her it was
that person. She told me
good thing you didn't say so or I would have kicked her.
All that to say it's hard to erase someone from your life that you trusted. The first thing they will do is play innocent, then the claws come out.
Be careful
@Selmar you are a threat to the gravy train.
