Man, this is quite the rollercoaster. It's one of those stories involving a pathological liar, where it just goes from bad to worse, and then even worse. While we're grateful that things ended up working out for the people that suffered at the hands of Mindy's toxic tales of fiction, it's a bit of a bummer that she never faced legal consequences for her terrible decisions. Some people in this world really ditch the moral compass, and carry themselves like complete animals.

    Text - r/ProRevenge u/forestcabin123k • 2d + Join 1 1 1 1 Helped Destroy My Trust in Humanity? I Put You on The News! Once upon a time, I (almost 49F) had an extremely close friend, "Mindy". Hell, she was not just my friend, she was like a sister. We met in grade school. She pursued my friendsip, always tried to sit next to me, always wanting to talk. Over the years, we would spend lots of time at each other's houses, but by the time we were 19, my house was our meeting place because she had ext

    Text - her situation. I always tried to make her feel like she belonged and avoided luxurious stuff if she could not afford it (expensive shows, nice clothes she might like but could not wear). Other times, I just gave her some stuff from my closet. She was nice, outspoken, and made me feel like I had the most loyal friend on the planet. The years go by. I'm fresh out of college and got a nice job. Mindy's life has improved. She had her own place and 9 to 5 very reliable job. By then, we had a g

    Text - Gatherings and get-togethers happened in my apartment. I loved that place! It was spacious, still half empty because I was careful not to throw too much money into decoration. Around those days, Mindy began to look sickly and quite not herself. I was worried and loved her to death. She had been there for me. Especially when my fiance broke up with me for no reason. I guess we now call it ghosting. He was the first man I ever truly loved. I was never able to get him to express his love lik

    Text - a separate banking account. Things came to an end when all of a sudden, he broke up with me. He told me he did not want to get married and did not love me nor wanted any type of relationship. He let me keep the money from our joint account plus some of his things at the apartment (workout bench, clothing, pretty much everything). This had a bad effect on me. I felt like he despised me and wanted to cut ties no matter the cost. Invitations had not been issued, so calling off the engagement

    Text - She had a boyfriend, George, and he was awesome about letting me crash at their place whenever anguish and pain hit me hard. They both cut ties with my ex. I had made so many life altering decisions for him only to be left in the dark. Mindy and George sat me down and disclosed that my ex was seeing someone else. I remember the shock and emotional pain. My heart was racing and I ran to the bathroom because the bad news made me throw up. I never understood how my ex treated me like that. T

    Text - By Summer, Mindy broke some devastating news. She was terminally ill. I was so angry! She didn't deserve this. Her diagnosis was grim. So bad, that George proposed earlier than he had planned because he wanted to live in the moment. She had always dreamed of a huge wedding. It was her obsession. We would go into bridal shops and try as many dresses as possible when we were teenagers. The wedding of her dreams was now out of the question. Her family would not pitch in (she'd left their hom

    Text - I decided to pay for her wedding. It would be a small event, but I would make sure the decorations and her dress were as dreamy as she had always wanted. I still had the money I had saved for my wedding and as financially risky or stupid as it may have sounded back then, I was sure those final days with Mindy would be worth gold when she was gone. Her illness made me realize there are worse things in this life other than being unceremoniously dumped by my ex. I threw myself into it. I was

    Text - Our group of friends also helped her a lot. There was not a day when someone would not bring her groceries or help pay for a random utility bill as she was now out of work. I had initially offered to help her setup a better health insurance plan but she declined (pay attention to this, more on this later). So I decided not to intrude and give her the fairy tale wedding (or as close to it that I could) that she wanted. She had picked a nice rental dress and tiara. The florist was to accomm

    Text - Now, back to the insurance issue. My first job was as a junior sales executive for a health insurance company. There was a legal dispute against another insurer and I was called in by the court to be a witness. As I was getting cleared to enter the building, I saw my ex. My stomach churned. I immediately thought " courtroom wedding". By the time I reached for the elevator, he had already vanished. That messed up my day. I relived the lack of closure all over again. I could not let it go.

    Text - I still wanted to help Mindy and tried to set her up with a good insurance plan. I knew it was difficult given that companies treat terminal patients as money dumping risks. I pleaded with my old boss and he searched her name but she was not in the company database. Maybe she was using a different insurer, but that was odd because she clearly told me what her insurance company was. I felt guilty because I was kind of snooping.

    Text - Things were normal for a month, until my friend at the courthouse broke some disgusting news. The defendant in my ex's lawsuit was my best friend, Mindy. She asked me if I knew anything about it. I had no idea or clue. She then disclosed that the case had become "popular gossip" among courtroom clerks because my ex had fallen for a complicated Cupid scam. As it turned out, Mindy and my ex had an illicit love affair behind George's back and mine. It spanned a full year. And she was not "ou

    Text - former employer's credibility for it (never got too many details). Then she got him to help her with "medical bills", and scammed him out of close to 20,000. Her illness was fake. I avoided her for a week. I hired a Pl to help me get whatever I could, without much hope as their affair had ended. The Pl managed to help me get some closure. His name was on her lease for a small studio. Everyone in the building thought they were a couple. It was their love nest and it was 2 hours away. I nev

    Text - My ex seemed salty over the fact that she had chosen to stick with George. It was simple math. My ex was very successful but George, although not wealthy yet, had become a physician and was spoken for to start a small practice with a potential partner. She upped and left and cheated him out of money along the way. Apparently my ex figured out she had been lying about her condition. The disgust, pain and disappointment hit me fairly hard, but somehow, Thad so heavily invested myself in hel

    Text - I went straight to all the wedding vendors and cancelled before it was too late to get my money back. I defunded her wedding. No cake, no dress and no veil. I sat down with George on a Friday afternoon and offered him all evidence and proof. He cried, but at the end admitted to feel painfully relieved. Yes, he loved her, but he had felt pressured to get married. He confessed to many red flags: she always went to her medical appointments by herself and became irritated if he asked too many

    Text - We also suspected that she may have been having a new affair as she spent more and more weekends with her all girls church camping group. She claimed it was her sanctuary and helped her a lot. It may have been a front. George and I accepted the fact that we had been cheated, taken advantage of and emotionally destroyed by the same person. I personally felt a loss of

    Text - innocence. Now I understood why she wanted to keep her wedding thing almost a secret. It may have been possible that making it public may have blown her cover, one way or the other. George and I decided to do "what was right". I paid for a "video tribute" to my "loyal" friend and decided to send it to the local news as the "heartwarming story of love and healing". It featured her and George's apartment compound on purpose so that everyone wanting to serve her court papers could find her.

    Text - trip". It was an agonizing week. The news weren't showing our "positive note" yet and we were sick with the waiting. It all blew up on Tuesday morning. The news channel enthusiastically showcased our story with a collage and lots of information about her and how she was about to get married and had almost already "beaten cancer". Dozens of "ill spoken" haters popped from out of nowhere. As it turns out, this had been her second "illness story". I never knew someone so close to me could le

    Text - George confronted her with all the information. She denied it, then said it was a lapse of "bad judgement". She moved out without too much drama. It took George over a decade to forgive himself for allowing someone to make him look so stupid as a person and as a physician. She left me some voicemails with lots of excuses. I picked the phone only once and told her I had defunded and pulverized her wedding and that it was me who told George what was going on. I used a leveled voice to tell

    Text - George and I slowly found normality. But it took some time. He dated a couple of girls here and there but was not ready. I myself became shut down. She avoided jail I don't know how, even when our mutual friends filed petty claims for all the money they invested buying her stuff while she carried on her false pretenses. Eventually, I used the "wedding money" to partner with George and we opened a small clinic. Best decision ever! Over the years, George and I became best friends and grew c

    Text - Fun fact: I got a FB message from her 7 years ago. She began very sweetly but then proceeded to blame me and accused her of "stealing her man and her life". I blocked her. Fun fact 2:I ran into my ex in 2001. He apologized profusely. I accepted his apology and told him it all worked out as I now have a life with someone who truly deserves me. Back then George and I had begun dating.
