Sad & Discouraged

hello friends; (shift key doesn't work all the time, so please forgive my capital letters) I'm very sad as i write this. My friends in Egypt have informed me that their oldest son is getting married. The girl he is getting married to is so cruel and mean to the oldest son and it breaks my heart that they are getting married. This girl also told the family that they couldn't have anything to do with me anymore. She doesn't like me cause i told my friend Ahmed not to put up with how she treats him. My family died when i was young, this family has taken me into their hearts and i've taken them into mine. I felt as if they were my family....now i've lost them too. They were teaching me Arabic and all about Islam....i'm so sad. Tami~

Hi, Tami! It sounds like the fiancee is either (a) feeling threatened by your friendship with Ahmed and his family, or (b) just plain mean! I hope everything works out, though.
