OMG Digital Magazine | 279 | Thursday 12, October, 2017 • PAGE 5 I Was Manipulated by an Online Predator Confessions No remorse From ages 11 to 13, I was in an online relationship with an 18-year-old. For 2 years he manipulated me into sending him nude pictures of myself. He was so persuasive; telling me that he loved me and if I didn't send them I was not woman enough and didn't really love him back. Soon after he shared my photos on the "black web". My parents, of course, had to get involved. I am now 25 years old and only just realized that he had mentally abused me into submission. I've never told anyone in my life about this. I'm  suffering long-lasting issues from the event, and I'm scared I'll never fully recover from the damage he inflicted on my life. CEO of two companies want to quit..... I am 32 years old and work as a CEO in two companies that are in two different countries. I worked myself non-stop in the past 5 years. I now have 160 workers under my command and I make plenty money. The problem is, I am so unhappy with my job and my position. I never wanted this. It really was a big accident. I just did my work "right" and here I am. All I want is to have a normal job with a normal work schedule. I want hobbies, I want children, I want to be with my wife more often, to have vacation and all that stuff. Nobody understands me. They all think I am so "lucky" with all that money. I am NOT. My life is going in a totally wrong direction. I'm wasting it on things that I think are not important to me. I hacked a friend's Facebook and Instagram accounts. I noticed that she was still talking to one of her exes and was actually lying to me about it. All the things they were talking about made me so jealous and hurt that I took the nudes that she sent him and I shared them on Instagram, Facebook and I sent them to her mother. Her mother went crazy and took the matter to the police. They have no idea that it was me who did it, I am still talking to them and giving them advice on how to deal with the matter. I can't stop looking at his wife's Instagram He and I worked together and were very friendly and a bit flirty, but never became close friends because he was married. This didn't stop me from completely falling for his charm, brilliance, and kindness. It's been over a year since he moved away for a better job, but I still regu- larly check his wife's Instagram even though I know it's creepy and wrong. She's one of those perfect women who run marathons, keeps house, and manages her own business. All it ever does is remind me that I'll never be as pretty, smart, or talented as she is and that's why I'm alone.
