I understand you

Hello April

I read your email and I felt for you so much as it was like reading my own life.

I married an Egyptian man who is Muslim and if I could take it back I would.

I have come to the conclusion that religions should not mix, it is the Bain of our lives, only his religion counts nothing I can say is right, everything american people do is disgusting as we believe in nothing we are godless in his eyes.

When I met him he drank and got high all day every day and never prayed now he prays 5 times a day We live a very unhappy existence together as everything always boils down to his religion I want to leave him too, I cant tell you how much, I am west Indian and he wants children and I really don't as I don't want my children to be made to feel as horrible as I do.

I wish you strength, be who you were born to be.

Sadie
