Baby won't soften him up

Girl, run and save yourself the heartache and pain that will be your life. I have two children with a Moroccan guy who lives in Italy. I had to move back to the states and he had stories of losing his job, living with friends, in cheap motels or on the street because he was "homeless". I felt bad and sent him money from time to time. He started asking too much so I told him I couldn't send him anything else. His response was what's the point in talking to you then. And when I mentioned the children he was basically like, "and". I believed him and for me it was no coming back from that.

Fast forward some years later I call every month just to make sure the number still works and to see if he will have a heart and talk to the kids. Ofcourse he doesn't but one day after not calling for about three months I call some lady answers who proceeds to tell me she is his wife, they have 7 kids, and have been married for 15 years. My kids are 10 and 7. Girl, run. I hope it's not the same guy because he is around that age.
