In the TV show, I take you along my journey as I experienced it: How I met my ex-husband online — he presented himself to be a war hero, Hollywood scriptwriter and successful entrepreneur. How we got married — twice. How he convinced me to invest in his business opportunities. How all his business efforts collapsed. And finally, the betrayal — how I discovered that everything Montgomery told me was a lie.
Then I describe how I fought back, founded Lovefraud, and finally married the real man of my dreams, my new husband, Terry Kelly.
It’s an emotional story, and Love, Honor, Betray does a good job of capturing what I was thinking and how I felt. The show also presents the perspectives of my good friend, my father, my divorce attorney, and Terry. His quotes at the end of the program are wonderful.

I would have liked for Love, Honor, Betray to go into deeper detail about the behavior of James Montgomery, who, after I left him, was professionally diagnosed as a sociopath. What the show presents is shocking, but Montgomery’s lies, manipulation, exploitation, deception and betrayal were even bigger and more outrageous than what you’ll see on TV. However, the show is only 42 minutes, so they had to skim the highlights.
If you’d like to know more of my story, it’s all in my book, Love Fraud – How marriage to a sociopath fulfilled my spiritual plan. My book covers two important aspects of my story that aren’t in the TV show at all — how I recovered from the experience, and why it happened to me in the first place. There was a reason for it all, which slowly becomes clear as you read my story.
Love Fraud is available as a hardcopy print book, ebook and audio book.

Donna, I watched your episode and was really impressed how you managed to not only overcome a fraudulent marriage but how you ended up helping so many people escape abusive relationships with your website. Learning that you met such a wonderful man after all of that, your husband Terry, made me happy for you. Thanks for all that you do. Robin
