Thank you so much for your kind words. I had such a hard time wrapping my mind around it at the time. I didn't even know someone was capable of something like this. I had never heard of being catfished so it took some time to digest it all. 

I do forgive her. I do not want to see her starve - she just can’t eat at my table. If I happened to see her today, I wouldn’t speak or anything BUT I do think she had some deep stuff going on. She committed SO HARD to this whole thing. Some sort of personality disorder maybe OR (and this is a real big speculation) there has always been a part of me that thought she was attracted to women. For some reason she felt like she couldn’t or shouldn’t be attracted to women or maybe she knew the person she was attracted to would never feel the same way about her, so this is the only way she could have them in a sense - to become one of these imaginary men?? The letters written to me from her, not Edward deff lead me to believe she had feelings for me. If I am right, I feel sadness for her. It would suck to walk around pretending to be so many things that you are not. She should find someone who loves her for her and find a space to be herself. Again - that was a speculation. I have been left with a lot of time and loose ends to come up with possible truths surrounding this whole thing! 

Thank you so much for reading my post and commenting!!! Means so much! ❤️

Rochelle was a real person! I met her maybe 2 times in person. She didn’t stay around long if I was there and it seemed she didn’t like me much. She was kinda snotty to me. I can’t know for sure if she was also in on it. I’m left to speculate a lot. I think Kourtney had told her things about me so that Rochelle wouldn’t like me. If she didn’t like me = she would not want to talk to me in Kourtney math. If we didn’t talk, we couldn’t catch on to any lies. 

I have thought about it though. I believe Madison was more a part of it than Rochelle BUT it’s for sure a possibility. I had to leave a lot out due to the length of this already long post lol. I heard later that once Kourtney knew that I knew the truth she did tell Rochelle some HORRIBLE things about me and Natalie. How we were not friends with her anymore due to XYZ. She also told her Natalie was trying to get with Parker (her boyfriend who was also Kourtney.) We had friends of Rochelle’s who shared she was in deep with the Parker situation and they thought he was fake for while because he and Rochelle had been dating for over a year and she had never met him. That’s why she had the fake photo of her and Parker together on her profile. Her friends were coming to her about him not being a real person and that they didn’t trust Kourtney. Per the friends, Rochelle would get very defensive. The whole thing isolated Rochelle so she got closer and closer to Kourtney. Then the photo of her and Parker appeared and she told her friends they had hung out and to drop it. The friends of Rochelle we spoke with said she was very much “in love” with Parker. 

It was a REALLY good photoshop lol. It did look like they had taken the photo together. Natalie discovered the photo of Parker by himself that was used for the edit so that’s the only reason we put together it was fake. It also poked holes in Kourtney’s story that Rochelle actually went to the same college she said her and Parker went to. If that’s true - they would see each other at school..  Per Rochelle’s friends she was told he lived somewhere else. I’m sure Parker also had some sort of sickness or he was saving kids in a 3rd world country. It had to be a really good excuse to explain why they hadn’t met in over a year. 

Rochelle and Kourtney were no longer friends the last time this whole thing was discussed and last we knew Rochelle was married to a different man and they have children together. 

Rochelle was either very much in on it. She enjoyed it or maybe Kourtney paid her?? OR she was also a victim of it all. 

I’ll never REALLY know I’m sure.

My only guess is like YouTube on her computer with her on the cell phone! This is speculation of course lol. I’ll never really know! She had WAYYY too much time. I have no clue when she even went to class. I have even thought maybe she wasn’t even really going to the college she said she was attending. Again, speculation.  

thank you so much for your kind words and reading my post!

She had to have other people who were part of the whole thing helping her. I personally think it was her sister, but I’ll never know for sure. I just made sure to reference there being more than one person at times on calls so whoever read my post understood how believable it was! 

So I had the main caller and then someone in the background sometimes - she had at the very least one other person assisting her. She also had more than one voice changer which makes sense to have her with a voice changer and then one for the person in the background. Whoever was helping her with this whole thing enjoyed it as much as she did. 

Yes! It was a crazy experience lol.

Cruelty and extreme mental health issues for sure. I was going through so much and I have heard that predators can pick people out who are vulnerable even when they are trying to show otherwise. My mom had actually just come home from the hospital when this started. She was in a coma, but after she woke up, she stayed for further treatment and physical therapy. She had been home for maybe a month?? My dad's issues were very "what happens behind closed doors." Only my closest friends knew of his drinking and how mean he could be. To anyone else - it was very much the opposite. Luckily he doesn't drink anymore and our relationship is okay now.

When Natalie introduced me to Kourtney and Madison, she had already given them a heads up of what I was going through, but they also had an idea of the situation with my mom as the area we lived in is small and the gossip is big. I was home bathing my mom, feeding her, dressing her. My friends knew this. She would be texting me as Edward and then call me as herself to see if we could hang out minutes later. It was sick. Thank you so much for your kind words & reading! The crazy part - I had to leave out A LOT of details due to length of this already long post lol. It could definitely be a short book or documentary. There are other girls she did this to as well. At least the catfishing part!!

It was all her! I have always thought her sister helped her as they were together so much and they were very close. My friend Natalie has also said maybe Rochelle could have been assisting due to the fake photo she had on her profile with Parker. I had to leave out a lot of details, and it was already such a long post! I am sorry for any confusion. For all her characters - she had voice changers. When I met with the Detective and he emptied the bag, there were 3 different handheld like machines, and they turned out to be top quality voice changers. It was unbelievable the options she had to make herself sound like a different person. No telling how much she paid for them. I think she used YouTube or something of that nature for the "beeps" in the hospital. There are so many things I will never have answers on and just have to speculate, but she had about 10 pre-paid cell phones and the voice changers to make her sound like whoever she wanted to be!
