Please give me advice

Try to make it brief as possible.
Met a woman on the net over a year ago. Talked ever since then. I love her, she loves me. Shes won my heart and several times we've planned to meet.
I've shared everynight for year on the phone with her. I planned on waiting for her and we wanted to be married, etc. She had sickness, I stuck thru things with her. Helped her make decisions. Cried with her supported her emotionally, totally involved. But only on the phone. I have sent her a few things like cards and some minor little gifts on occasion over the year. My family knows I love her and friends.
I found out shes not who she says she is. She made a ficitious myspace and the face on there I grew to love, well, not the face, the person...her. The face, the sickness, all the long drawn out talks we had, all the crying we went thru was not true. She even went so far as to say she was going to comit suicide prompting me to send authorities looking for her. She later said she had thought about it but didnt d o it..She is in fact, someone else. Not sick, not true stories. But yet, the person I love is her. Make sense? I feel betrayed, feel stupid, ashamed and yeah mad as hell. What can I do to this person legally? I feel she should be taught a lesson for lying to me making me believe she would be coming to my home and life. Even talked to my family and so on. We completely believed her and supported her.
Granted I know she loves me, she does. Theres no doubt in mind she loves me. I care, but the thing is my pride is sore and I want to know is there any legal issue I can stand on to teach her a lesson?
I can say this maybe this can help you with my legal question. Before you even ask I'll tell you this:
yes she did use fake pics, but its the person i love.

yes she lied to me and led me to beleive she was ill and we went thru emotional turmoil for a year now. yes i've cried with her so emotionally upset.

but no,
i've never given her money nor anything. and no shes never asked.
shes done nothing but send me gifts, my kids gifts, money, cards, a 300.00 pool, clothes for us all, toys at xmas, decorations for our house, cards cards and toys and just stuff all the time.. easter, bdays, school supplies, school clothes, special surprises in the mail, we never asked and she did this because she has a good heart, she does love us. Worries about us constantly, we talk everyday. I know "her" so well. I just dont know the face. The right face. She does love us. I know this. I just dont understand why she would keep this up for almost a year. Why?
Overcoming the part that she lied and said she looked like someone else, had cancer, etc. I know this woman must have a good heart. Aside from that,
shes kind and loving and will do anything for others. Even my family. Shes done that.
But why lie? Why not stop somewhere along the way and just tell the truth? I already loved her. The inside her.
So now I feel stupid. I dont understand how she could do this. Be this way. I trusted her with my life, and find out shes not who she says she is. Over a year now. What can I do legally to show her that she cant do this to me? to us?
Do I have a legal leg to stand on? If so what kind of charges could I use?
I dont hate her. I just think she needs to be taught a lesson. I loved her.
I know shes deep down a good person. I dont understand how someone could do this for so long?
Advice please!!

Can I legally charge her with something?

Thanks.

I'm a woman and I think that a woman with good conscience wouldn't do something like that. She must be very insecure about herself to do something like that. You really can't love her since you don't know who she is except for talking to her. Legally,I doubt that you can do anything. You put yourself in that position. Nothing legally can get you out,I doubt. We all do things that we wish that we wouldn't have done but we have to pay the price. All I can say, is good luck and be very careful next time. She may be who you say that she is but you just have to be very careful.

I know. youre right. But, I cant explain her. Shes not a bad person, shes a good good heart, she cries over commercials, shes smart, educated, and shes perfect..shes just not being honest with who she really is. Shes not a threat, shes the most awesome person I've ever known. But I'm kind of thinking maybe she is insecure? maybe she got carried away and just cant stop now? She'd do anthing for me. Anything. Shes got a sofr heart. Perhaps she cries alot because she may feel guilt? Maybe she doesnt know how to tell my the truth??? Maybe I'm all she has that makes her happy and shes afraid to tell the truth because of course, I'll bail. I feel sorry for her. I feel bad that the face isnt the person, because the person is so awesome.
She doesnt know I know, but lately shes been more hesitant in her talks,
I think shes getting the feeling I may know something...what do I do?
I dont hate her. I really dont. I wish she would have just been honest. But me? Am i just typical man who let a pretty face catch my eye, then totally love the real person??? see what im saying? her looks, brought me in, but the inner person made me love her. I know what she looks like in real, and shes cute, pretty. The real her. I just dont know what to say to her anymore..its building up and I dont know what to do. Its like I dont want to let her go, I want to know what to do? Tell her I know, then just forget her?
I dont know. I'm confused.

tell her to pound salt and go on with your life , I know that sounds crude and rude, but move on to someone you can see and get to know personally, without lie and deceit

I'm torn thinking that this woman is a world class liar and has built an alter ego to suit the person she is speaking with that may not resemble the real personality underneath. Speaking of that person underneath, it can be one of three ways, a total fake who doesn't care about you but wants to be loved for who she CAN be but IS NOT (I can't think of why anybody would keep this up for long), or a totally fearful person who thinks nobody could love who she is (and there are a lot of them)... or given today's online dating scene, maybe she has been hurt before by people who come on to her, spent time with fake courting, and just want the same thing men have always wanted, and treated her badly and now she just wants the interaction, not the real thing which she knows now to be a bad imitation of life in a class where she would never want to tread. This last one is the one I'd be ready to bet your LOVE is. She is tired of being rejected by people who interest her and decided to give herself a little time to grow on you before she decided whether YOU were ready to make a decision... in her favor.

I get it that she is hard to let go being that she has tried to be your everything for so long and succeeded, but this person has a hole where her soul should be. She needs help in the ego department. To have gone to this trouble and never have the nerve or the need to make her real self known should let you know that she is in trouble emotionally.

The one thing I'd say you should do is to meet her for real, on neutral ground and let her know that you know and that you have strong feelings for who she has presented herself to be but you also have strong feelings against the person who would do this to you. You can decide together whether it is worth continuing the relationship.... or if it is over.

I would also warn you that there is probably still some element of who she is that is unknown to you. One like age or previous behaviors or marital status.
