I know how you feel

Hi there,

I too am married to a muslim man. I am American and Catholic. His family has always been more important to him than me and our child. He will send them money and lavish gifts but mine or my daughters birthdays come around and we get nothing, literally nothing. Not even a card!

I keep my mouth shut and I do not say anything, I am not a greedy or materialistic person. I will say that it hurts my feelings and makes me wonder why I am even in his life. I hope that you and I both find our way through this. I know how hard it is. It feels good to hear someone else talk about these things. I feel alone out here, but now I know I am not.

Thank You!
