This is a totally shocking story about someone I offered up prayers for. As you do, I still hope for her recovery, but it sounds as though she has become possessed by evil. Considering how sick she has been, does she really think she is advancing an acting career? People may watch her on the internet, but are movie producers going to hire her? My heart goes out to your son, as he was deceived.

My son is heartbroken. A part of him wants to believe her illness drove her to do things that unfortunately harmed him, and the business side of him knows she took advantage of his kind side. I don't know if he will ever come to turn with losing the close friendship he thought they shared or merely having his dream shattered on social media.
Thanks, Lorraine. I appreciate it very much. Hugs, Carol

People stink sometimes. I had this woman in my prayers! No doubt she was ill...but a fish rots from the head down and honestly I'm left doubting her every motive! Who would do such a thing!? Humans disappoint.
I'm so sorry for Matt's films and the hard work you put into catering and such! I hope he finds a workaround... Gets his work out there. I may be callous. I would NOT give her another chance!

Good morning, sweetie!
She was so close to Matt and I had never seen him so happy on the set or any place for that matter. Unlike his mother, he holds his emotions deep inside, but when we talk I know he's devastated.... but then again...like his mother... he talks of giving her another chance to explain and make it right. I see her wrapping him around her finger...my "no emotion" son will crack I am sure.
Hugs, Carol

I believe in redemption...but even my re cycling center won't take crushed bottles. I am angry at her actions...
I realize it is not mine to judge.
Comment from Judy Lawless
Wow, I'd like to say this is hard to believe, Carol, but sadly it really isn't. It seems more and more people have forgotten the importance of good friends and everything becomes all about themselves. I hope your son can get past this. Too bad he's given up on the films he's already created. Hugs

It's Saturday and no matter how much I read and try to catch up, I seem to fall further behind. I feel so guilty not expressing my thanks so I hope you understand how I really do appreciate the review, support and kindness.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

WOW! How horrible! The anonimity of the internet strikes again. My heart goes out to your son, how hurtful to be betrayed like that. Was she an actress in his movies?

The staring actress in three of them and scheduled for another. It broke his heart and now yesterday, she tried to call him and smooth it all over. He didn't bite! But I wonder if her personality will win him over in the end. I hope not.
Hugs, Carol
Comment from Leann DS
This is heartbreaking. It is almost more painful to watch your children hurt than it is when the pain is inflicted on you. Am I right? I will say prayers for your son to mend his heart. Thanks for sharing this. Hugs and blessings to you.

You're welcome. I'm behind in reading, and others said the same this week. We all understand. Hugs!
Comment from nancy_e_davis
This is sad. I feel for the woman who is suffering and for your Son. I am ashamed for the doctors who toss their sick patients around like a hot coal afraid of Law Suites I would assume. It is a sad situation. What is to become of us? The greed is taking over. I hope it all works out in the end, Carol. Nancy:)

Comment from Susan Newell
Carol,
There is no worse feeling than betrayal and knowing that a "friend" has used your best qualities (or weaknesses) as weapons against you. She knew Matt would go all out for her, and she betrayed him. Sadly, people operate from all kinds of hidden motives. As an aside, if she was vaccinated, I would question the vaccine being the cause rather than Covid -- but that's a much larger story about betrayal by our health bureaucracy and industry.

Comment from dmt1967
Tell him the six is for him as well and tell him I know how it feels. He might never be the same again, I'm not. I used to care about people, now it is only family. I have no friends, apart from my writing sites, and that is the way I want it. I don't get too close to anyone outside my immediate family. Thank you for sharing and take care.

Comment from Cindy Warren
That's so sad. It takes a long time for your heart to mend when a friend betrays you. Some people will do anything for profit. I wish the woman well, and hope her son will realize what he has done and try to make things right with your son.
