[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 701672, member: 16024"] Wow, Mcdonna, I am sorry that your daughter is sending you such horrible emails. She has truly upped ante, this time, to keep you jumping through her hoops. Those words are vicious, hateful, and hurtful. It's very telling that your mom and other family members are not buying her story, either. The people that know her best and longest have seen all this before, and they are all getting tired of it. Strange story-- About eight years ago, my mom got a call out of the blue from someone that I had known as a teen, looking for me. Not really even a friend, but more of an acquaintance. My mom has a unique and unusual last name (which was mine also when she knew me), so it didn't take much to find her. I did wonder why she would want to contact me after so many years, but I happened to be traveling to the state she was in, and I called her to take her to lunch. Well, it didn't take long before she asked me for money--several thousand dollars! I forget what it was exactly for, but she wanted to start a business supposedly and so forth and needed money to get that going. Of course, I didn't give her any, and she subsequently contacted me several more times asking for smaller and smaller amounts of money, but I declined each time. Eventually, I was cut off and haven't heard from her for years. I wonder if she had finally run out of people that would buy her stories, and was reaching far afield. Anyway, I feel sorry for the people that your daughter is taking advantage of, and I am sorry that she doesn't seem to feel bad about duping them. [/QUOTE]
