I have to admit, this is fascinating for me in a dark sort of way, and it's the hardest part of the whole Andy business to wrap my head around. Andy's actions I feel like I more or less understand. What always escapes me is why other people are so willing to accept his lies.

For example, the stuff about Andy being a disembodied spirit or whatnot, and his "sister" Amy living in his head with him... you just decided it didn't really matter what the truth was? That's sort of what I gather from your response. Please forgive me if I'm wrong.

Did it bother you at all he essentially said he'd deny everything if called on his email, and threatened you with legal action? What was it about him that made you willing to accept that from him?

I'm sorry if this comes off as critical or harsh at all. I'm just trying to understand how Andy manages to pull off his manipulation. For what it's worth, I think it's very brave of you to share what happened.
