So yeah, I'm new to all this...and wanted to do a blog a looooong while back, but never really had my mind set to it. Many because of the responsibilities of this tangled poop we call life..... please DO NOT IMAGINE IT! ( my words are like this, so please get used to it.) Anyways, lemme introduce myself, my name is Rejected Angel.... yes some people have been copying my name.... even though they don't understand the meaning of it😒. I have six wonderful yet annoying kids.... yep half a dozen. I am 34 yrs old.... yep that's old 😭 my oldest child is my 14 yrs old son, then my oldest 12 yrs old daughter, followed by the eldest of the mighty naughty girls team 9 yrs old, and 7 yrs old, then my innocent 6 yrs old son, and last but not least, the last member of the MNG team 22 months.
My every day is a real strange struggle. I came to the UAE four years ago, since this is known to be the city of riches. I just wanted to make enough money to buy a house, a family van and pay off debts so I can give my kids a normal life.... which is like around 300k USD. Sadly, I didn't know that I would be stuck here worst than being stuck in quicksand.
The people that we met here were nothing like the people that we were used to. Instead of being fair and working as a team to make big money, they were deceiving, selfish and low minded. I am not being judgemental here, because of not meeting one person that was honest.
After 2 and a half years of nothing working, we finally decided to pack up and leave. And even though we had most things packed, we made one last attempt to make some money. This time, it was a totally different person.... an Arab. He and his partner owned a restaurant, which wasn't going well and we had the best ideas and methods to fix that, mainly adding me to the restaurant partnership so they could a loan. These Arabs even gave us enough money to pay the monthly bills and for food, until the project was completed. It had us hooked, we thought that these guys were really sincere. They even had let us borrow their car. Then after 5 months of nothing happening, we started to get a little annoyed that, as planned nothing was happening. It was worrying us, that if things didn't work out as planned we would be really stuck. In a few months, my husband's visa was going to expire and, we didn't have enough money to renew it.
The behavior of Arab partners started to change. They answered the phone whenever they felt like it.
If we went to the restaurant, we had to wait for hours for them to give us time. That too didn't go well either, because they stopped giving us money as they had promised. Soon the rent went behinds months and to top it all of we saw a dead guy on the garage rooftop. That just made me so sick that I HAD to move. there was no way I could stay there. So we had argued with the guys to find an apartment for us since they had promised it...
Finally, after two months or so we went to the new apartment. It was used by the partners and their two employees. They had moved out just hours before. Most of the furniture was still there and it was decent enough to live. which was funny because the A/C wasn't working at all and before we could ask about it, we received the eviction notice on the door, stating that the apartment hadn't been paid rent for months. When we asked the partners they said, "it's ok, nothing will happen." Then we found out that the car we had been using was stolen. The car had belonged to a rental company and the registration had been expired a year back. We thank GOD that we hadn't gotten into any trouble yet.
Only a month left before my husband's visa would expire, we went to the restaurant to talk about that. Their answer baffled us and we finally understood that this whole thing was a trap. The whole idea was for my husband to go to jail while I had to do WHATEVER they had asked for.
Ok, I am getting stressed and tired of remembering this whole thing and typing it down all the while looking after my kids too... so the rest will continue later.
I had to make a few phone calls for some financial help here.... which didn't go well as I think because no one called back as they had said and since today is Saturday they are closed.... so I am upset since I do have to pay rent and need money for food....I tried to sell my last golden chain which would give me 2400AED, but without my passport, no one can buy it..... AHHHHHHHH...... anyways....
Stay safe and always think about your kids( future ones too)
