MEETING THE FAMILY

LONG AWAITED .....LOL HERE IT IS BY 'BITS AND PIECES'...LOL


The very first day was after I landed in Manama, Bahrain. "WOW, I thought...at the time, they are welcoming me.... "thank you, THANK YOU, " they said to me. I'm thinking what the hell for? They handed me a baby to kiss....I was like OKAY...Like I said Bits and Pieces. We all drove off looking for a hotel to stay in. It took forever...lol ANYWAYS, my first day in another country and I was some what scared, happy, excited, depressed. I didnt know what to expect from the 'family'. The next day, we all talked. Well, not me, I just listened and said. "WHAT did they say, say this." It was funny....lol

I spend 3 months in Bahrain. I was waiting for the visa to enter Saudi Arabia. BUT.......I had to GO back home. I was like? WHAT? why? it was a hard decision to do. Leaving my husband for a month or so.

Its funny when you left, they missed you but when you came back, they wanted you to leave again. That's what happened to me when I went back in 1999. I missed my husband when I went back. I did it again in 2003, the last time I went home to see my mom and brother.....that's

As years went by, lesser and lesser, seeing the "family" They were HAPPY to see me but now they can care less about us, meaning ME, because I am a outsider, and they dont want that. So, I gave my husband a choice, its either, I leave taking my daughter at the time, OR we divorced. It was getting to the point, they were talking bad about ME at the time. and I know they are still, so they
like it or not, I am here to stay....lol

The ONLY person who really accepted me was his father. Sadly, he past away.
