Anne,

You are right to be concerned. I have read many of these posts, and elsewhere too, and I am shocked by the amount of older women being preyed upon by young muslim men! It seems to be a clear pattern and quite common.

You must think about this. No one does anything in this world without getting something back for it. The support you have gotten will be in exchange for your services, whether it is money, visa, security, or who even knows what. You must read these posts from women who could not accept the cultural and religious changes put on them a few months or years down the line.

Face up to reality Anne. For your sake, for your children's sake. You are a strong woman, I am sure. Do not fall prey to a fantasy. when things seem too good to be true, they usually are.

Good luck and be strong!
