When we go to – or earlier on in our relationship – When we would go to family gatherings, you know, a family member might say something a little bit sideways. And I'm not one to cause a scene. I would never do that. I feel like that doesn't achieve anything. So my reaction is to talk to him after the fact. And he has said everything in order to avoid going to that family member to talk.

Say, hey, you know, you can't talk to her that way or you can't you shouldn't say that or whatever it might be. You know, one thing that he said was I was drunk. I didn't hear it. Or the next time was or she didn't mean it that way or like it's at the expense of how I feel. That's right. It's called gaslighting. Yeah.

We weren't really sure what she was going to do because she had gone back and forth. Even in my phone calls with her, I never really got a straight answer with her because I think in her mind, if she didn't get the plea that she wanted, she wasn't going to take a plea.

And in our minds, we're thinking like, there's no way you're going to get something that satisfies you enough that you're willing to plea out and take this amount of jail time. So even going into the court date that day, we're all waiting on pins and needles to see what she does. Is she going to take the plea or is she going to request a jury trial?

I almost thought she was stubborn enough to just go to trial. The amount of evidence they had on her was overwhelming. They were felonies, but they were low-level felonies. The plea that she was offered, none of us felt like it was enough time. To her, it seemed like too much time, like she was almost too good to do that much time.

But I think the lawyer that she had at the time was like, you're not going to get anything better than this. I think it's best that you just take what they're offering and you do your time, you keep your head down, you pay your victims back. You're good to go. And so she goes in and she accepts it.

When Tom shared with me what had happened with Megan, he shared every text message. He shared the statements from his bank of the transactions that were made. At one point, I was looking through those transactions and I saw a transaction to a man. Sometimes Megan would ask Tom for money and she would say, I need you to pay this person for me. I need you to send it to this person.
