I fell in love with someone online. Gave everything up I had to fly down to Texas and live with him, but also marry him. It turned out to be a disaster. I got stuck with his 6 and 8 year old 24/7. He would drink 12-18 beers at a time at least once a week and when he drank he would verbally abuse me for hours, call me names etc. I even got locked out of the house at 3 or 4 am one night in winter until 11 am that morning. I finally left in May 2013 and he basically left me abandoned and all alone with no food for a month. After some more traumatic events, I left for home up North. I drove over 1100 miles by myself, 2 1/2 days. He hung up on me the morning of the evening I was leaving and didn't even want to know if I got home ok. I was made all kinds of promises. He started contacting me and playing games again in August. So I had no choice but to file a police report. He now leaves me alone. But I now have PTSD and he interrupted my college degree program for over a year. I am on my way to my counselor and Doctor, to ask for a medical leave from school so I don't get into anymore trouble with the school, and also so I can put myself back together. Be careful when it comes to meeting people online. They are not always who they say they are!
