I have known and been a very close friend, nothing more, of SM for the past 3 years. Like any friendship, it had it's good times and bad. However, most were very good and over all encouraging. I think we both became to realize that we were positive influences on each other and wanted to help each other become better people. Over time, we gained each other's trust. We understood the other was a good person and truly would be there for them, rain or shine, and that any advice given was genuine. Building trust isn't easy and everyone has their apprehensions. However, SM was apprehensive to appreciate and accept me for being myself and would on occasion make extreme accusations of something I had done to her or accuse me of speaking with her family or other acquaintances of hers that I had never ever met. These accusations were out of character for her but terribly difficult for me to understand and, quite frankly, would scare me. These occasional accusations of her getting mad at me for ?? and me not understanding where it came from would lead to us not speaking for usually a week, maybe 2, no more than a month. I liked SM. I am a bit apprehensive when meeting new people but have chosen my friends wisely. I am close with just about each and everyone of them. I’m not able to think of a single person i’ve been friends with that I would discourage others of speaking with, or whom I would no longer consider a friend. SM, unfortunately, i must add, has changed my life and is now my first former friend. After careful consideration and thought, I felt it necessary to post my experience with SM. I will not post other details and do not want to slander SM. It has been two days since we last spoke and I have made multiple requests that she return my call. My trust in her has been broken. I feel that I have been manipulated by a professional. I am embarrassed and frustrated that I introduced a person of her character to my close friends. I now fear for my safety. Moreover, I caution that you not allow her to gain your trust and refrain from any requests for money, favors (paid or free as friends), IOU’s. I felt an obligation to share my experience with the public. For further comments/questions, i can be contacted at
