So Sorry this happened. i agree with the other wise and wonderful posters about letting some time pass. You had every right to make sure she was legitimate in my opinion but perhaps your intentions didn't come across too well on the other side of the screen, which can happen given that you were using the internet after all. it may be painful to realize that we have thrown away a chance at a beatiful relationship but Hopefully other possibilities will crop up. if i may give you some advice try to not underestimate yourself as other people can see qualities that we do not see in ourselves. You absolutely deserve to be happy and to be Loved as everyone else is. i'd suggest to focus on yourself for a little while until you feel like you can handle other attempts at some relationships. Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @JH8854, your Family, your Friends and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
