Thank you for your supportive and insightful comments and critiques. I believe this is a forum where the bad stories need to be expressed and the effects of these men need to be allowed to be voiced so that others can learn what can happen to them.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali in her book The Infidel noted that her comments on negative experiences were taken as the words of someone playing the victim, a very unjust and dismissive criticism, charges which, in my opinion, are laid by those not wanting to admit that there are negatives in this world which can have a profound and lasting impact on people. And yes, it's hard not to be bitter when your teeth are shaking loose and your hair is falling out from arsenic poisoning and the money needed to fix this is long gone because of a con artist.
