He was an Irish devil with twinkling blue eyes and coal-black hair. Ana and Ted first met in high school, 30 years prior to connecting again on Facebook. She woke up one morning to more than 30 notifications that he had liked picture after picture, some years old. She sent him a message saying “either you are interested in me or I need to get a restraining order, which is it?’. If only Ana had blocked him at that moment, it would have saved her almost 10 years of sheer hell, years she almost did not survive.

The rest of the story is one so unbelievable, so fantastical, only another person who has lived this could possibly understand. Lies, prison, a wife, a fully fabricated world, NPD diagnosis by the FBI, breakups, love bombing, reunification, divorce, marriage, lies, lies, lies, stealing, hustling, rage, pain, confusion, searing betrayal, false selves, divorcing me for her, coming back to me, back to her, back to me, back to her until that final rending discard, sex workers, severe drug problems, on and on.

Oh, and guess what? She's a therapist. If it can happen to her...it can absolutely happen to you.
