Has anyone had a santeria love spell cast?

I know someone who did one with a babalawo. I am not sure if the thing worked or not, the victima tried to resist the spell and her life went down the bill pretty much straight away...work, finances, selfsteem, friends, family...everything gone. She kind of turn into a zombie and the only person she trusted was that guy, eventually she went back to him but became obsessive and jealous, she doesn't travel or goes away anywhere as she wants to be always with him. The worse part is that she could not make a decision at all and everything she did she had to ask the guy first (she lost all trust on herself). Anyway, I think he got more that what he bargained for and his life is also a living hell I am not here to tell you what to do, just think about that story...is that what you want??
