What started as emotional kindling erupts into a full-scale inferno.
In this second half of Ember to Inferno, I take you into the fire — where emotional manipulation turns into financial devastation. From credit lines and wire transfers to maxed-out credit cards, crypto ATMs, and even sending cash through the mail — this is the unraveling of a scam in real time.
This isn’t just about the money.
 It’s about access. Shame. Isolation. And how trust becomes a weapon in the wrong hands.
💥 Learn how scammers exploit every corner of your life — from your retirement to your relationships.
 💸 Hear how I was drained of over $800,000, one excuse at a time.
🚩 Understand the red flags — including subtle “caring” behaviors that are anything but.
I’ll walk you through the emotional chokehold that made walking into the bank feel like stepping onto a battlefield — and how I still justified each decision, even when the truth started seeping through the cracks.
💔 If you’ve ever thought “this could never happen to me” — this episode might change your mind.
Trigger Warning: Financial trauma, emotional manipulation, family deception, and intense psychological abuse.
This may the darkest part of the story.
 But the war isn’t over.
 The next episode? The Wake-Up Call.
