You are going to be just fine. You were involved emotionally with a very sick man who has told the same lies to God only knows how many women and, yes, other men. They don't just flim-flam women. They also get their fine clothes, money, and toys from men. Sociopaths have no conscience and when someone finally backs them up into a corner, they regress to a very primitive state (they were able to cover some of the primitive behavior when they were in control but when they lose control, their world comes crashing down and insanity overshadows everything else). If he tries to contact you and/or makes any more threats, simply tell him that you are going to call the U.S. Embassy in Moroc and you will also report him to the State Department.

I think the part about his wife and children being in the house when he was playing the flim-flam game with you, other women and men on-line clearly shows what a worthless creature he is. It also demonstrates that the women who marry these men are just as helpless and hopeless as the men. Of course she liked the money and gifts that were pouring into the home. Others might say that she has no control over her husband which is true but if she had any self respect she would take the children and go to a shelter. I have no patience with women who tolerate lack of respect from man, woman, or child. Being poor is not a valid reason to take anything that one dishes out. I was raised in a very poor family but my grandmother made very sure that we respected ourselves and others. Respect and Love are two emotions that are very foreign to this man and his family.

I wish you the very best. Stay away from tramps and thieves. They are like crabs in a basket. They try to pull everyone else down into the heap because they have no motivation or desire to do better. Good Luck.

PS. I hope Hammadi's friend is reading this post.
