Love

If that's what it is... can make people do stupid things... and I'm sorry to say but it seems like your daughter had some kind of void in her life, and this lowlife happily came along and filled it. That's what they do. They make you think they're opening you up to complete you. When what they're really doing is drilling for and exploiting your resources.

When I was in the honeymoon phase with my mena man I thought my mother just didn't like him... or was just being mean or even jealous. The men also brainwash you against your family. Although in the back of my head I always knew something was up... you just don't wanna admit you've been vulnerable.

So unfortunately, Nikki, you may have to wait for her to come to her senses. It might not happen yet but by opening her eyes to the reality of her situation... bit by bit you can help. Convince her that this is not real love... it's one sided. Send her verses from the Bible about what love is and what it isn't (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Let her know that a man who truly loves a woman respects her mother, even more so if he's from that part of the world where family is everything. The only women who aren't enough for a man have to finance his lifestyle. Once she starts to see what he's about she will despise him. She just needs to get those rose tinted glasses off.
