Concerned Mother

Submitted by Elizabeth (United States), Nov 30, 2008 at 21:46

I am reading all of the horror storries and my heart breaks for my daughter as I watch her walk into the same trap and I cannot stop her.! I have researched and sent to her all I have found, such as this website, and I know she is not reading the material I have found.

She thinks "her" Moroccan is not like that and is sweet loving and kind. She ended her Christian marriage becaue of her online relationship with this guy and is planning to fly to Morocco to meet him and possibly marry him there. She is being very naive and completely without common sense. She told me last night she has talked to an "online lawyer" ( another scam) who says he can get Mouad to the states for a flat fee of 1800.00.

She is 40 and Mouad is 28, or so he says. She has a 14 year old daughter who knows nothing about this romance. They talk every night and in between the mother calls her and keeps the flames going..... I am heart sick about all of this and I do not know what to do about it.

How can i stop this from happening, how can i reach her? This is worse than your child being on drugs...much worse. Some one Please help me. The name this guy has given her is Mouad and is from Beni Mellal. I would love to give his last name but do not know if I am allowed.
