I was introduced to Lisa Dines through an online dating site. We text, talked on the phone, and would video chat. I was very intrigued by her intelligence and spirituality. Lisa was looking to relocate to Colorado, where I live, to fulfill her zodiac meant to be of some sort... I offered her my home to stay as she searched for an office where she could "live and work". While living with me, Lisa dove in full force taking over my home and life. She immediately ran off my mom who was my primary help with my two kids at the time in middle and elementary school. She took down all the pictures on my walls that did not comply with her feng shui ideals. My linens and even shower curtains were replaced, at my expense to comply. Lisa found a white board in my son's room and created a chore chart that was strictly enforced. I was required to immediately quit drinking permanently and cold turkey. Not a single even non alcoholic beverage to help with the transition. While living with us, Lisa continued to council one lesbian couple online, right in front of us. She set up a desk in the corner of the living room where she "worked" and became a dictator of my family. Lisa set up a joint checking account that I funded so she could buy groceries etc. While I was working, Lisa dove into going through ALL of the storage bins in my basement. The items in these bins that hadn't been touched in years were then integrated into my drawers and closets. My junk drawers were so full. I freaked out a little and Lisa went into a weeping, you don't appreciate me thing. One day I arrived home from work and asked Lisa if she could possibly park her truck in front of my house rather than in my neighbor's favorite spot... This resulted in the biggest weeping screaming rage that I have ever seen. This was also right in front of my son. By this time Lisa had rented a closet sized office near by, at my expense, that she would rage off and stay in. One day I came home from work and Lisa surprised me with hotel reservations in Hawaii, yes Hawaii, that she had purchased using the account that I funded for living expenses. I was supposed to be happy about this. Wonder who was going to pay for travel expenses...
While Staying with us I would have therapy sessions with Lisa. I revealed childhood trauma, insecurities that Lisa then used against me. After three months Lisa mentioned marriage so that she could enjoy the benefits of my Teamsters Union Employment. She also thought we should move, my home of 15 years was Morgage free, and get a place that was "ours". Finally I cracked, couldn't take it any more. Picked up a six pack of beer, drank it all. Lisa went to stay in her "office". I kept her dog at first and begged her to let me keep Meridith. No go, the dog I would see sitting all day in Lisa's pickup truck outside her tiny office. Eventually one day, the truck was loaded to the gills with everything she owned, once again, and Lisa Dines set off to find her next victim,
Lisa Dine thinks everyone should be on Lexipro as she is. My 90 day supply arrived as she was angrily moving out. Odd, I never received it. Hmmm. Lisa had arrived in May and by September had left in a rage. All of her possessions, and quite a few of mine, and everything we had purchased together using my money was piled in a heap rolling out the back door into the garage, literally couldn't close the door, giant pile of clothes, linens, pictures. Lisa insisted that I pay her $1,800.00 (the total money that she had when she arrived in Denver) to leave peacefully. I was very afraid that she would take my fence down again to get her junkie trailer back out of my back yard. I ultimately got stuck with her also junky and broken camper shell. When I had this camper shell returned to the office building parking lot where she was living, Lisa called the police. Said she had gifted this to me. I don't even have a truck...
Total insanity! read more
