I was married years ago have a daughter 23, just finished college and now lives 2 hours away. He knows I still help her when she needs me. I also have a son 13 whom I have joint custody with my ex. My muslim friend chats with him also and talks to him over the phone. They discuss things that they are going to do together when and if he gets to the US (smile). I have been divorced for 12 years and have only dated 3 times since. I wanted to wait until my kids are almost grown before I married again.

I have this thing about stepfathers. My muslim friend was very impressed with that, and the fact that I devoted my life to my children, my job and my church. He knows that I am a christian active in my church and he claims thats one of the reasons he loves me. I'm 46 and he just turned 39, but to look at us you would think we are the same age. I look young for my age.

How do you feel about him marrying? Does he still want to see you? Its obvious that he does or he wouldn't still call. My heart goes out to you. I sense you still have feelings for him. My m f and I talked on the phone today, and I let him know that I can't give him a $1000 when I come in may, and that if he doesn't want me to come, tell me now. He say he still wants me to come, so I don't know what to think. He may eventually let me go when he realize he can't get money out of me. I will let you know when I return from Jordan.
