Chat-Rats - Tell your story

Tell your story

This page has been added for people to just simply tell their Chat story! We will print the story exactly as written. Sometimes, people just need to write things down, to initiate their own healing. This page is intended to allow people to do just that. We are not going to be a mediator. These stories will NOT be investigated, just simply printed "as is" Also remember, when writing your story, that if it involves another person, then that person will have the right of reply. The story will stay on the site, approximately one month.

Just send your story to us, via the "contact me' page... or e-mail it to

Chat-Rats@hotmail.com

Some "Story Rules”: Each story needs to be a "Story". This page is not for debating, nor is it for slinging dirt back! If by chance, you are some-one mentioned in another's story, then you need to write your "own" counter-story to have it published. If some-one has a comment to make on any Story, then they can certainly make it, however, if it is published, it will go to the e-mail page.

When writing your story, do not c/p extracts from other web-sites or other stories. As this can be a breach of copyright law, and even if its not, it's just not respectful. Please attempt to keep the story clean. We prefer it, if we do not need to edit the story.

Try and keep the story to 500 words or under, (example of this is approx 25-30 lines)

We wish, to thank any story writers in advance, as sometimes it can be difficult to write these stories.

All stories are exact copy paste, unless otherwise stated

I have never seen such petty name calling and foolishness in my life as I read on this page. It amazes me that adults, if you are in fact adults, can be so silly all because of a chat program!! I was new to Voodoo (an old friend from another chat program told me about it) and one day I saw someone mention this page, they showed the URL so I visited it and some of the things I read were quite interesting but some of it was so silly it was not worth reading. Voodoo is a CHAT program. Don't any of you even know how to do that? Are you so busy in your make believe world that you have lost all your natural senses? Come on people, chat can be fun. I think that the developers of this page probably had a good reason, in their minds, to make the page for people to actually vent about something but I am surprised has now turned into this. I remember years ago someone made a *wall of shame* page and it soon became a place to name call and put people down. It died but I don't know why. Some of the things on it were a lot rougher than what I see here but it too was begun with the best of intentions, or so the people thought who started it. If you want to see something on the page you wrote, try telling of a personal experience, like Meghan did. I found that story all too familiar as it has been told by other women such as Meghan, who have fallen for someone's lies. If something happened to you....tell it ..we don't need a name. Well not only women have told that same type story, but men too have fallen prey to women who troll the chat programs for the *sucker born every minute." Come on people, stop the name calling and get with it. I am sure many of you out there have a story to tell and it would be interesting to read about it. Mine is boring as hell.....hahaha. I met someone from online in 1998 and believe it or not we hit it off. We have been married since 2000 and could not be happier then I am now. We met in old VP in Pixie's Garden, if any of you remember the rooms she had in old VP. We were about 200 miles from each other, him in North Carolina and me in Virginia, but managed weekend visits and eventually we decided to marry. My type employment made it easy for me to transfer to Carolina and find a new position (I am civil service). So I guess my final word is try to enjoy chat for what it is and can me. It is a fun thing to have and you do get to *meet* many interesting people thru chat. Thanks

Could you please print this out of concern for many like me.

I have to admit that for a very smart woman I have made many mistakes. I seemed to have been taken in by a man that I thought was honest,and trustworthy. I know this is the typical chat story but I wanted to let others know that with the ease of a smooth tongue someone can talk you into something you are fully aware is a bad sign to start with. I was friends first with a man that I later fell in love with. Talked to him for hours on the phone...in chat...in messenger. He calls me one day and ask me for money, telling me that his brother was in jail and he needed money to bail him out. I had been down this road before where it cost me thousands of dollars and yet here I was again and of course " in love ". The promise to pay me back always in the wings. I had the nerve to ask about it and got a response that both shocked me and hurt. The response was simply that I was a spoiled B***h. How dare I ask to be repaid. I heard nothing from him for months, only then to get a phone call with a hi how are you like nothing ever happened. At the time I forgave, but never forgot. I backed out of the relationship and thought to just mark it down as another time chat screwed. I get an IM telling me that the wife I didn't know about for over a year found out he was playing in chat and also with a local " chat friend " wait...that is her friend...or was. What I learned from the conversation was that (name removed) aka Thumper told her that he was playing me to get what he wanted. To be honest with you,I don't know what of that is true, but none the less I'm still without my money. I hope that everyone out here realizes that there are many people who prey on the ones who they know are good hearted and have fallen for the lies they live. Please be aware that if this man comes to you in all of his sweetness and so called good hearted nature that he in reality is a married man who seems to thrive on cheating not only his wife, but other women out of their respect of self. I am an educated...single woman with no children and thought I was hooking up with the same in a man. I know now that as it was put to me by him and his wife, that he was sitting back and laughing at me while I sat with my heart in his hands. Be careful out there to all that are here for an honest chat and those that may want to put their heart on the line. There are many who have no problem with taking full advantage of the situation. Please let everyone know that Thumper is not who you would consider taking home to momma...seems he already has one.
