It happens more often than you think. You're not dumb.

Hello darling,

I just read your story and my heart goes with you... I have no words.

It doesn't surprise me because after what I went through it is the only thing I expect now from a Muslim man.

In the end, it doesn't matter what they say. They have to follow their parents' will. These men don't know what love means. They're players, cheaters and nothing but big children. They are used to be kings in their homes and expect that we put up with all their madness.

You're not dumb. You're not the only one. Read our posts and you will see that what we are is empaths and they take advantage of it to extreme levels.

I investigated a lot about Islam so I came back to my senses and got his game before it was too late. However, the emotional damage is done. Most of us have tertiary studies. But I have noticed that also, an overwhelming majority of the women who have suffered from Muslim men have been hurt and abused in past relationships. They know really well from who they are preying on. So be gentle with yourself. It is not your fault.

I know it must be hard after all these years. At least you came here to warn another women who are on the same boat. Don't be hard with you. On the contrary, allow yourself the time you need to heal. You're already on the mend since you come here! And we can warn other women to go through what we have gone.

My best wishes for you... We all are here to listen to you and help you overcome this terrible hardship...

With my love,

Keira
