Nothing like an old fool

yes that is me i was played like one. i did a small holiday cheer sending cards to teens / young adults that had been disowned by there family at Christmas time. At the time it was a good thing. one of the guys reached out and we got to talking. he was a female to male trans gender and had no one to talk to. so we treated each other a mentor / father / son. we talked daily and became friends. things were fine and then i got played. i have made a rule that i will help anyone once. if they repay or return then i will help again. he asked me for some money and i sent him some money. he got the money and was grateful for it. a couple of weeks went by and he asked for more money this was this past weekend. i told him no and then all heck broke loose. he wasn’t pleasant and went straight to down right nasty. words were spoken and things said. i stood firm and still said no.  the amount was not that much. they blocked me before i  could blocked them. 

so i feel like an old fool trying to help some one out. it’s a shame a small deed can make you feel so bad.
