Thanks for responding Farrah, i really did not mean to be so tough on you. We all here for different reasons. We only get a glimpse into people's lives. I do really like this site, because i am always learning. And i am very interested in Islam, i don't think I will convert but i will raise any future children to be Islam.

I do believe the father should have a say in their future, but to be honest he is going to do it by himself as i am still learning. AT least my fiance has a opinion, where my ex husband never had a opnion it was always what i wanted. Which was nice to a point, i was not married to myself, but that was how i felt. And then he felt he should work his regular job and then work with farmers, we hardley ever seen him. And the extra money well i don't know what happened with it. But i had enough when we had to plan family time around farmers.

Thanks for sharing your story with me. I am addicted to this site too. I want to help others and combat some of the misconceptions. Unfornatly i think anyone who chats and goes to the popular websites will advently will be scammed or at least tried to be scammed. The worst site i seen for it was Zorpia.com . These men from nigeria and ghana would say they are business men in Africa working in oil or peace comp of some kind. They either offer love or want to send stuff to your house and have you send it on to them. Which is punishable and illegal. Who wants to sit in a federal prison for love, but i am sure many have and will. That is why it is not good to shop online with debit and credit cards, they can hack these systems and get that information. And they work together buying information all the time. About 3 months ago we had a scam from Nigeria where they had a automatic calling system saying something about there bank and had to call a certain number. Many called this number and gave out information before calling the police. It was a big mess here. So there is many ways to scam, and they are willing to scam you out of your house and everything. They have contacts here in the states printing fake checks, posing. So it is just not the arabs that need to be worried about, there is big money in nigeria scamming and woman fall for that too. The biggest problem is after a women realizes she is scammed she is embrassed to say anything to anyone about it. And these things needed to be reported to the police and U.S.C.I.S. Many women can actully black list these men, and if a women tried to obtain visa'a for these men again they are in there system., and will be stopped. It is not instant gratification, but it is comforting you stopped them in there own game.
