To Leesa

Sorry for delayed reply Leesa. He took my home by keeping the apartment in his name and then informing the landlady i was moving out without consulting me. Since he never gave me her number or name ( i thought it was just a cultural thing where the man handles everything ) i was forced to come back to Canada.

I later learned that when he got each of our apartments ( i was back and forth to canada doing his immigration ) he put my name down on the lease as garantor, NOT as tenant. This was part of his ingenious divorce plan - he could show court we never lived together and he was planning to argue that he paid me to get him a visa !!

Brilliant plan except i did have to get a lease with both our names on it for immigration and showed this to court :) As for my money, it disappeared by my doing his immigration and from his stealing it from my wallet constantly. I believe he was drugging me at night to be able to go out and use my ATM card. And as for my daughter, she is distancing herself, as friends also have, because of my stupidity in marrying this man. And they're right - i WAS incredibly stupid. desperation lowers one's IQ.

And no, i don't want anyone again. It's finished.
