Something needs to be done for adult victims here. In my searches I must have seen 60 million pages pertaining to teenaged victims and not a single ONE for adult victims. How can that be?
I don't think most people see you as a victim here. No one sees men that get caught in a trap as victims, why should they see a woman any differently. You have the same tools to think with that men have.

I just ..... didn't know how to deal with that.

That, I wasn't comfortable with, no. But that didn't last long at all anyway, because it was soon after I discovered some discrepencies about his age and although I wasn't able to end contact with him right then because of how suicidal he was, it was the end of the personal relationship.

It's amazing how you can get dragged into something like this out of the blue.

I think it was highly inappropriate for you to send him gag sex gifts.

I'm not a predator in any shape or form. I just found someone I liked talking to and I had a blast with, I had no idea he was like that. Thanks for all the smarta$$ remarks though, really. I was hoping for a little more help and support, but I can see from the caliber of the people who made the last few posts that I won't find anyone who can do that here.

How old are you?

In your 40s, at least, right?

Since when is it ever appropriate for someone your age to send sex toys to someone he or she thinks is fresh out of high school?

You are not this kid's peer, never have been, never will be. He's younger than your own son/daughter who made you a grandma, for heaven's sake! Get real!

And he hid all of these things VERY well, coming off as a mature, rational "adult" in all of our conversations all the way up until I caught him lying about his age.

At any rate, it's over, I've cut all ties, and I can only hope that he doesn't ever find any more victims.
Technically you would be considered the pedophile as you sent a child sex toys.

The posters who have replied here are not stupid. You are a grown woman who acted inappropriately with a CHILD. Stop trying to play the victim in order to make yourself feel better. What he did was wrong but what you did was also VERY WRONG.

Maybe the responders in this thread can help me make sense of the above?


CONNED is right.

Personally, I believe you've lost contact with the mothership and the best thing you could do for yourself is turn off the computer and go back to knitting with one needle.

Let me just reiterate because you don't seem to get it.

You are a middle aged woman, probably my age, who willingly interacted romantically with someone who you believed to be 18 and still in high school. You sent him sex toys, you still interacted with him when he proclaimed his love.....

In what reality do you think that any person in high school can be mature enough for a forty-something women to interact with? Or should?

The fact that he lied about his age is merely the ***** frosting on your dysfunctional cake.
