Thanks for sharing your story, I'm sure you're a much stronger and wiser person to come out of this! I'm positive that these bad experiences make us stronger in our character and our own faith so it isn't all in vain. You will all be rewarded for your selfless actions one day.

Blaming you for your mother's illness is as low as it gets... but this is how manipulative these men are and as you can see they leave no stone unturned. I can imagine how low you must've felt for everything to happen at once... it always seems to be the way...when it rains it pours. And you're sure as hell right about them being good actors: while I don't wish to derail your own story I will give an example of one of mine. Last year my so-called best friend betrayed me in the worst way imaginable. But can you imagine, that while he was inviting me out for drinks, his mum's house, having deep conversations, even getting down on his knees massaging my feet lol... he was launching a smear campaign behind my back. He even watched me block one of his fake FB persona right in front of his face. This is how sick they are. And yes he was middle eastern.

It was when I visited the Vatican that I told myself I won't allow this to happen again. You really have to find your inner power and say enough is enough. Your loved ones will be there for you, your god will listen to you... but for the love of god trust no man. Let him prove himself with his actions BEFORE his kind words. If something doesn't feel right then 9 out of 10 times it probably ain't.
