Addicted to Love, Pt. 1

from The Perfect Scam · host AARP

What do you do when you learn your parent is wrapped up in a scam? Christine's mother is a giving, caring woman who never raised her voice in anger throughout Christine's childhood. But when her mother starts online dating, her personality changes. Now she's up at all hours of the night texting with a man she's never met. She's dismissive and easily angers if family members question the relationship. When her mother begins giving this new online boyfriend her hard-earned money, Christine really starts worrying, and with good reason. Christine's mom, it turns out, is addicted to her online relationships forged with multiple scam artists. Across the country, another family deals with a similar issue.
