I'm canadian and married a Turkish man, younger than me, but i was smitten by the charm and good looks etc. When Canada didn't give him a visa it all changed. gee, what a surprise, and he filed for divorce, though he had been abusing me in order to force me to start the divorce.

Now, after having taken everything, he is possibly married to another woman illegally in a religious marriage while we wait for the judge's decision. Here is my question and it relates to his trying to get my money right from the start. I was so naive i didn't catch the signs. I was suffering dizzy spells every night but he wasn't. I think he was drugging and taking money from my account as he leared the number.

Then on two occasions i was violently sick with what could very well be a poison. I am never sick like that and now think he wasn't after a visa primarily - he was after my pension money and married me to inherit it after i expired. I think i was saved because i kept returning to canada to work on his immigration. have any of you experienced anything similar ? people think i'm crazy thinking this but my husband can do anything without any conscience.
