Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

My first boyfriend was so very charming. I couldn't believe that this handsome, smart guy, who was studying law, would be interested in me--a high school student. My parents thought that he was the son they never had. We were all living in a wonderful fairy tale until he tried to empty my bank account, stole money that my father had given him to buy supplies for my sister's wedding and to top it off, he wasn't even enrolled in Law School. He had us all fooled. The charade included taking me to his law class, where the professor called on him to give a detailed answer and all of the students greeted him. I still haven't figured that one out, but I know he wasn't a student there because my parents ignored the fact that their friend's son, who was enrolled there, had never heard of my boyfriend. The class was too small for them to not know each other. We all ignored the clues until we couldn't any more. Please join us Thursday to learn more about emotional abuse and stopping the cycle.
