Sorry - Apology from "Samarai Jenn" about the entire fake story

[what was i thinking]

Quote:

I know how you feel. I too cried like a baby when I read she had lost a baby. I felt compassion for this seemingly nice family that just had a bunch of really bad luck. Now I feel violated, angry and sad. I have not told DH yet, I am actually embarrased.

i just talked to my husband on his lunch break and choose not to tell him because he would have told me i was crazy to begin with. i had just told him about jenn loosing the baby....

DITTO! My last child was via c-section and OMG I was so sore and in pain, I didn't want to MOVE let alone walk!

That was the only thing I found odd but still did not put it all together, I just kept thinking after my c-section I still looked pregnant for many days, granted I was a piggy and gained 70 lbs with my ds but still. I just kept thinking wow I cant believe she looks so thin.

Oh no! Could this person resurface as someone else?

I want to thank the Mods, Nifty and the members that helped flush out this horrible liar. I can't begin to understand how much time and effort this took. I am grateful that you did uncover this and let us know the truth.

I do feel awful that I fell for this. I learned an important lesson. Geez... by 38 you would think I would know better.

This person is added to the list of those we keep an IP watch on.
For now, the IP is not blocked because we know this PERSON is watching and reading.

I have 20 years of experience in psychiatric nursing. I know diddly squat about how to manage an online community. This I do know: this individual may be getting a lot of "reward" from reading these posts. I don't know if there is any way to stop their access but if it can be done, it should be done. Someone this needy for attention is likely to crave all attention...of any kind...not just positive. So, allowing him to view this thread is a form of reward for inapropriate behavior..which reinforces it and means he is likely to try again. He is highly unlikely to "learn his lesson" from any of the community's posts about thier pain. And yes, "Luke" is a sad soul and I am sorry that he caused pain to so many of you.

wow...

interestingly, my wife said, "I'm sorry this all sounds like a made up story to me..." and I assured her it was not.

Call me gullible. I'm amazed that my wife picked up on it... she said there were too many unanswered questions that made no sense, and she was right. Guess that's why I am such a lucky man.

For whomever this sick person is, I will still pray for you, because as a Christian I hold to the writings of Paul and his American counterpart Moroni.

1 Corinthians 13:7
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Moroni 7:45
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail--47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.

Thank you Rob, Terrie and all our wonderful mods. Thanks for the investigation, and most of all thanks for letting everyone vent here. First there was the shock, then the tears and then the anger. but you know what? We can hold our heads up as we tried to help and he/she cannot hold up her/his head. Just reading all these pages has made my anger flow away and I feel so much better. My heart breaks for those parents who actually experienced the heartbreak of the loss of a child. The memories had to be very fresh from this "fake" experience. I so agree with debi...we have to trust ..without it we have no love for one another. And I do love a lot of people on BYC

oh I am sure the person has another way to read these even once blocked be it a friends computer or whatever and I agree probably loving this thread.

We realize that the PERSON may well be getting his or her jollies by reading this, but more importantly is how our BYC members feel. We wanted you all to have a place to vent and tell your own feelings in a healing process from this.

wow... just wow.

I have seen losers on BBs before, but this takes the cake.

Great job mods
