Before any rumors start to fly.....

I am sure sooner or later the word will be out about my personal situation so I decided to just say it once here and save the whispers and back channeling speculation.
To those of you, who know me well; know that I have been married for 12 years. Long story short, he left me, drained the accounts and took off with out any explanation. I discovered that he had a double life. Yep I was duped, the victim of the ultimate con. I am trying to sort out my financial situation and my emotional situation as well.  I will continue to work as a provider as I love my job and always have. However if I am a little hard to get in touch with in the next few weeks or not my usual jovial self when we do meet, know that I am working on restoring myself  back to normal.  I am not looking for sympathy here, but just wanted my friends to know what was going on with me if I am a little out of sorts for a while. I will be taking appointments and need to see my friends even more now than ever, as I have been catapulted into single mother status with out much of a safety net. So if I don’t answer phone calls right away, leave me a message I promise to call you back. I need some serious cheering up and I know my friends in the hobby can really help pull me through this turbulent time I am going through.
Peace, Passion and Love,
Malissa

I'm very recently single myself and understand partially where you are coming from. I'm sure our little community will pull together and rally around you as that is what we do when one of our own is in need. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you disseminate your life into piles of before, during and after. If you need to go out to lunch, please don't hesitate to call.

Respectfully yours in love,

Megan

but you have mine none-the-less.  Even though we haven't met, I have long enjoyed your humor, and consider you a friend.  When a friend hurts, I feel for them.

All I can say is control what you can, and accept what you can't.

Malissa,

You know how much I love you, and I don't think too many rumors were going to fly about this situation, BUT we never know...lol Most everyone else here loves you too, and we will all support you as much as we can! I am still in as much shock about this as you... (Yes People, I knew her husband pretty well, at least I thought I did) I will help you as much as I can, and as much as you will let me Malissa.
Big Hugs!!

Sorry to hear about your problems...sounds like he didn't deserve you.  Looking forward to giving you a call when I am in Phoenix later this month.

You've shown great class and courage in stepping forward to deliver this message yourself.  I’m sure I can speak for all here in saying we hope you’re back on track soon.

Malissa,
I'm so sorry for the trouble you're having right now. I can only imagine the heartache and devastion you must be feeling. If you need to vent to a sympathetic ear I will be more than happy to listen...or anything else you need. I'm very much looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks.
