When I started dating, my mom had a talk with me about different cultures and how they view women. She told me to be smart about understanding who I was dating because marrying them was a life-long decision if I had children. I trusted my mom, I knew she was being honest, not controlling. Her advice saved me from a marriage like this; I dated a man from Middle East; he was very aggressive and pushy in our few dates. I think after our 2nd date, he asked me to marry him and move to Iran. I broke it off right then; my mom's words rang in my head. I am SO grateful for her honesty with me. When your mum tells you, watch out... pay attention, your mum loves you more than herself.

I cannot stop crying. All those years of suffering. It's horrible this happened to your family. God's grace must have kept you. This situation almost happened to my son and I. His father is Arabic and he had prepared to take our son out of the country. I wised up, filed for divorce and my lawyer placed us in a safe place. We stayed safe while he was summoned and he had to leave the property, due to domestic violence. It was a scary time, but we made it through. That was about eight years ago. These type of men are charming chameleons, who need to control women. They will hurt their own children to destroy the mother.

He actually TOLD her several times, that he would take the kids away, out of the country........ why would she "never in a million years" think that this wouldn't happen to them?

That’s what happens when teenagers get involved with older men,the father should have chased him away,15 years old belongs in school.

When you come from completely different religious and cultural backgrounds. If you don’t have the same rights in your partners country as in your homeland it is not a good match.

Beautiful beautiful Nadia, I cried so hard looking at her kissing her Mum. Heartbreaking she died so young . I wish Jackie all the happiness she missed out on.

Iam so glad the mother was able to have some of her family back to her.

This is such a beautiful ending. It’s really sad that her daughter passed away before she got to move to the UK. I’m so happy she’s finally getting her family back.

Am I the only one who balled my eyes out when Sophia and her family arrived 😭 oh my lord ❤️

15 years old hardley gives experience to make adult or wise choices. The man should have arrested for molestation from the beginning.

My son was taken by his Egyptian father and I was not able to find him. It took 4 years for us to reconnect. He came home at 15 and is now 24 and still going through therapy for the abuses he endured. I don’t advise any western woman to marry these men😢

I have a daughter to a Pakistani man, we met abroad. I lost our first baby, a boy then had our daughter who he has seen once. I honestly believe that my little boy saved me because boys are sacred in their culture and i dont know how things would have turned out! Without a shadow of doubt he did love me but his family had a huge pull on him. Our daughter, he didnt provided anything for her. I moved home to have my daughter with him supposed to follow. my mother helped me. She was the apple of my Dads eye and he absolutely doted on her!! I live in a very rural location here in Ireland and the community always talk about her, how beautiful, kind, mannerly she is etc, its really remarkable! she's absolutely stunning looking and i had the pleasure of raising a beautiful, articulate girl who is flourishing at college, absolutely fantastic personality and he has missed out on that. My heart goes out to all the mothers who had their children ripped away from them and others where their children were murdered by their father, which has happened here in Ireland too. The one thing I've told her is, do not marry a foreign man because of culture etc and she completely understands

They left that poor girl in a room to die how terrible.

Strong mother, she never gave up searching her kids. It was emotional to watch for me 😢

There is a book called for the Love Of A Child by Betty Ma Moody she warns young women on marrying into a different culture after her real life experience Not Without My Daughter ! It’s worth a read !

A lot of things touches one’s heart on this story. Sweet Nadia. She was so bubbly and happy despite everything she went through. May her soul rest in peace. And the gift of her granddaughter Azalah that looks so much like her mom at that age! The love of a good mother never goes away.

This man not only preyed upon her when she was only 15 and he was 28, but he then did his damndest to destroy her world.

This story should be listen by every woman in the world. A great lesson for every woman

would like to see update on the other siblings in Yemen

Such a selfish cruel man to do this to his wife and children. Horrible.
