WHEN REALITY UNVEILS ITS MASK......

There comes a point where the mind, burdened by abuse, reaches its breaking point. Yet, to embark on the path of healing, one must confront the daunting task, embrace the fear, and move forward despite it. It's about facing our inner demons and transforming them into allies to propel us towards positive growth.

The past month has felt like a whirlwind, blending elements of horror, comedy, and mystery into a surreal experience. It's astonishing how the mind shields us from abuse or aids our survival instincts. Recently, I found myself reporting a potential catfishing incident to the authorities. The person I suspect of this deceit has shown no regard for my well-being, exploiting me physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially at every opportunity. Their manipulation coerced me into situations I wouldn't normally entertain. Considering their associations, interests, and activities, the notion of catfishing doesn't seem far-fetched.

Unfortunately, fortunately, who knows, my brain has been protecting me from things until I was ready to deal with the reality of the situation I have been facing.

The photo that may have been used as part of a catfishing scam I saw on Mr John Gilmore's laptop, along with pornographic content. I was also sent an email from a JackandMayGilmore@gmail.com, I don’t know of a Jack and May Gilmore. I do unfortunately know John and Michelle Rose Gilmore.

Reflecting on my experiences, I realise I have been very naive in believing that everyone has a good heart and good intentions. Throughout my life, I've been vulnerable to exploitation by individuals with narcissistic tendencies, craving nothing more than to be seen, heard and to fit in.

Discovering the potential betrayal by someone I trusted deeply triggered a profound psychological unravelling.

Please believe if there is any pornographic material featuring my likeness is unequivocally not me.

I acknowledge the propensity for blame, and while I recognize my lapse in setting boundaries, my upbringing lacked the blueprint for healthy relationships. Survival eclipsed living, perpetuating a cycle of vulnerability.

To those I've inadvertently hurt during this tumultuous time, I extend my sincerest apologies. I refuse to justify or shift blame; my actions are mine to own, and I recognise the gravity of my missteps. Moving forward, I commit to my journey of self-recovery and accountability to prevent history from repeating itself.

Avoiding reality only exacerbates our struggles. I implore you, for your mental well-being, to embrace self-compassion and kindness. Let us navigate this journey together, supporting one another as we strive for healing and growth.
