Hi Susan

I came across this site when I started having problems with my Egyptian guy…to seek some advice, some support, something to help me cope with the situation. I will post my story soon…just to share my experience with other girls so they can learn to be cautious and protect themselves from potential heartache insha'allah.

I empathize with you as I have gone through the experience of broken relationship as well. I think the guy took advantage of you because you were so young and venerable. I imagine he was a lot older than you and charmed you off your feet – as they do :(

I know it is hard but you have to pick your self up, learn from the experience, and move on with your beautiful son. Be cautious, but I pray that no harm will come to you or your son. Is he in the US with you? What's keeping him there I wonder if he doesn't want a loving relationship with you? Anyway, just wanted to say be strong and carry on with your life – as life is short. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is healing for those us who have been hurt as well – knowing that we are not alone :(

Take care and my prayers are with you.
