hilda, i see a better side of you now. see behind the psycho there is a good person! yes, women in the middle east are treated very badly. something does need to be done about this. my mother was married to a middle eastern man who treated her badly. he never raped her, but he cheated on her all the time. she was just there to clean after him. she lived a very good life. she lived in a beautiful home and drove nice cars. we lived in america for many years (over 20). we are all us citizens but my dad is always overseas making money. when my mom and dad split up, she was not able to get very much money. she had never worked before other than operating a cigerette store for him about ten years ago. she didnt know what to do. she had to work in another tobacco store for a middle eastern man. he was a terrible person. he would not give her paychecks because he stated that he either needed to fire her to save money for rent or he could sleep at her house. he would never give her real paychecks. he would just pay bills and bring home food. she would even let his son sleep in my room when he had custody of him. we never understood why my mom let this man who was her boss stay at our house. she always told us he had no where to go and she couldnt let him sleep in his car or at his store. she finally told us the truth after he was deported. i helped her (along with the little money she got from her divorce) buy the store that that terrible man used to own. he even tried to screw her out of the closing and wouldnt mail the documents back. we now found out during that time he was calling everyone he knew trying to get them to buy the store for more money. now hes trying to sue her. in the meantime his crazy mother-in-law posts total BS on the internet about how my mom still works for that man. and how she smuggled cigerettes for him. how he slept in her bed. all lies. i have spent hours reading her bull crap. little did she know, if she STOPPED MAKING UP LIES ABOUT MY MOTHER then we would help her keep fawzi out of this country. we would give her any information we had. valuable or valuless. whatever documents we would give to her. but instead of assuming we are good people, you assume and make up lies andpost them on the internet. you are worse than an arab man. now all arab men arnt bad. there are some nice men who treat women like gold. but you're right it is in their culture to treat women badly.

well ....are you ever going to do the right thing?? you have to move me to get my help
