So, got sorted, got away from abusive dh, living a pleasant life a long way away. Started to make friends. One is a lady a bit older than me, I felt sorry for her so taught her a craft I do, and gave her my Facebook/messenger details. 220 messages in ten days, yes I counted. She turned up to craft group with passport forms as she wants me to go on holiday with her. I've known her three weeks!
Took her for a coffee last week and she flirted with a (much younger) member of staff there, and is insisting I take her back to see 'her waiter'. I cancelled going out today, I was up worrying until after three this morning, the second she saw I was on Facebook she rang. I may have accidentally blocked the number and she can't see my Facebook posts now.
What scares me is how easily I've ended up in a potentially abusive situation, how easily manipulated I am. How the hell do I avoid this?
