Charlatan or Confidant? - Part 1

At the end of March, 2015, after  suffering at the hands of my sociopathic boss, I was signed off sick.  About a month later I received communication from a work colleague, I will call her Penny, another Manager like me, who also worked in our region. I was not in the habit of having work friends on facebook, so although she could message me, she could not add me. It was a professional decision, not to add people, who I worked alongside. 

This was a strange message, where Penny talked of being a medium and currently in contact with my dead Grandmother,  Now I am a firm believer in mediums, am a Palmist myself and have a keen interest in tarot, but something didn't quite ring true.  At the time I was recovering from a Bipolar relapse and I suppose was at a vulnerable point in my life. From the advice I have taken since, I was told I was more open to suggestion, at this stage.

Whilst working for the charity, that caused me so much pain, I was told to keep my distance from Penny, by my boss, but was never given a reason why.  I always kept away from her and avoided conversation. This 'psychic message', was a way for her to get to me, to have me invite her into my life, at a time, when I should have been getting well; this woman was trying to finally become my friend; it worked! Darrell told me to trust her;  I still had doubts, but followed his advice.

I am including a transcript of her opening messages to me and my reply. I was amazed by what she was saying, it was my Grandmother, every word of it!  I am writing about this, well and in fine fettle, and as I realised a long time ago, the information she gave me, were the words I had written online in a blog entry a little time before, I was just too ill to realise.

OR WAS IT?  WAS SHE ACTUALLY GENUINE?

As a 'believer', I still want to trust what she said was bona fide and she had my best interests at heart,  The counsel I was given, suggested she was a charlatan, probably sociopathic, like our boss and used her position, knowledge, Darrell's acceptance and perceived power to infiltrate my life further, cause maximum harm and get away with what she did.

There are  authentic psychics and mediums out there.  I have seen a few and know a couple.  This person used others vulnerability to push her way into our life; she even had an invitation to our Wedding.  Luckily, I saw her for who she was in the end.

I have altered the names in the transcript below, but everything else is unchanged.  I will be publishing the full transcripts of what was said between myself and her over the next few months, so people can see, how a sociopath and bully can muscle their way into a person's life, just to cause harm; as readers, you may also think differently, you may believe she was genuine! For the short period, she remained a friend, my life got worse.  As soon as I told her to go away for want of a better phrase, my life, once again was mine!
​

So this was the opening gambit from a charlatan or confidant? In all honesty I haven't made up my mind what or who she was.  I was recently told, that now is the time to get my thoughts down in my blog, about that period, before we came to Spain.  One can certainly look from a different perspective and see the truth behind the lies.  What happened to me was terrible in every sense, but at least I have words and can finally publish my thoughts at an altogether better time, where I can look back at those events, subjectively, without prejudice!
