I am not too hurt about the loss because she is actually the niece of
my aunt's husband. We were not that close until recently. My aunt
told me to start hanging out with her because she was somewhat of a
loner and we have kids that are around the same age. The thing that
hurts is that I know that I am a good friend. And that is what I was
to her. I knew of how f'd up her family was and thought she was
different because she kept telling me she was different. I was always
telling her that I was praying for her and her family and her
situations. And I really was. One thing about me is that I really
don't care for women drama, (I am more like one of the guys) But I
really wanted to be a good friend to her and listen and give advice.
Trust me it was emotionally draining, listnening to her life story and
problems. I felt so bad for her. (She does have a lot of issues) So
it is sad to me that she is being made an MLM victim. My husband and I
keep thinking that wow, they caught the perfect fish, hook, line, and
sinker. She is a stay at home mom (with no skills that I know of), her
husband makes average money, and I think she has bipolar disorder also,
because she says it runs in her family. I have nothing against being a
stay at home mom, because I currently I am one. But I am home because
I can't find a good job with my degree and my record for the time
being. I have talked to her about possible at home jobs such as
babysitting, jewelry making, cake making, etc. but she never seemed
interested, and that is also what my aunt says about her. And she
won't get a job, because she does not trust day care. Well the point
of this was to ask the question, are there certain types of
personalities or characters that can be easily manipulated by MLM's?
Besides being ignorant and uneducated? (I know education is not an
issue because a lot of people have common sense without a degree.) Who
is most likely to be atrracted to MLM's, the lazy, the poor, the
proud? Or can anyone easily be a victim because MLM's are that good at
what they do?
