A few months ago, my husband of 16 years revealed to me that he’s been having affairs with other women throughout our entire marriage. I do not judge him for this. Monogamy is not for everyone, but I do wish he would have expressed his desires before we committed to one another. However, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t heart broken. I have birthed and raised his 5 children, devoted my heart and soul to him and the kids, and lost my self-worth and identity in the process.
One vulnerable day I received a text offering me a position as a data optimizer for Yelp. I could work on my own schedule and make a decent cash flow. This felt like perfect timing because I wanted to make my own money so I could get my own place and establish some autonomy.
The position used Crypto to complete data optimization tasks and I was intrigued to learn more.
Two weeks in, I had been gradually manipulated to invest a total of $48000 of borrowed money into the yelp platform with the leading that I’d be able to withdraw all my funds plus generous commissions, once I completed all of my tasks. The day of task completion and the much anticipated withdrawal, the merchant says I did not complete the tasks on time therefore I could not withdraw unless I invest an additional $30k. Another heart breaking moment.
In hindsight, there were several red flags along the way, yet my desperation for freedom clouded my judgement. I realize now my vulnerable heart was not in a healthy space to make a proper assessment.
I am full aware there are greater needs in this world, way more tragic heart breaks than infidelity and way more devastating situations than my scammed heart. However, I’d appreciate the opportunity to pay off my debt of $48000, and continue to move forward with my vision to create a healing center for wives and mothers that have lost their sense of self. A safe haven for ladies to restore their confidence & creativity as well as embrace the skill of radical self-love.
