Laurie Birdsong hasn't added a story.

dear friends... many of you are aware of our situation, but to refresh... Bruno and I are in love, we have a 3 and a half year old son, and we want to be together. But Bruno is Belgian... so, in order for us to be together, Bruno has to immigrate to the U.S. - This process, in addition to being (understandably) daunting, is also very costly. Since I have not been able to work for the last few years, due to debilitating depression, anxiety, and chronic pain from Degenerative Disk Disease, we are shy of funds, on this side of the Atlantic. That's where you come in... if you can help us meet these costs, we will be able to stay together, as a family, as a couple, and oh so importantly, Bodhi will have his Papa here, instead of seeing him on skype, like we'd done for almost 3 years. 

UPDATE: Early 2014.... in late August 2013, Bruno started staying out all night, refused to take a cell phone with him, and suddenly wanted to "reinvent" himself (for instance, he hated quinoa in July, but by october he LOVED quinoa! in addition to a sudden desire to lift weights, tan, get a haircut and whiten his teeth - but more on the quinoa in a moment.) He told me that his all night excursions would help our struggling, sad, and ONE SIDED marriage (i did ALL THE WORK!!) - turns out Bruno was CHEATING on me with a shallow*, cruel*, selfish/self absorbed*, pretentious*, skanky/slutty*, manipulative", deceitful* person who, SURPRISE, loves quinoa (making the connection?) whom he probably stalked on Facebook to learn about her habits/interests, etc.

then i found out, in october that he was telling people HE NEVER LOVED ME, did NOT want to be married to me, never wanted to have a child with me (even though he told me REPEATEDLY in previous years that he WANTED to "impregnate" me) - this contradicts EVERYTHING he said to me via email and phone in the years that he was away, having told me that ALL he ever wanted was to be with me, love me, be a "family," make love, and he told me that he wanted to "worship" me "like a goddess." - any time i would attempt to end the relationship because he would not do anything to actually make any of that happen, he would beg me not to leave him, give him (another) chance, etc...

but obviously, based on his actions, the truth was what he was telling people in the months of September and October 2013..

the reality is that he conned me into thinking we should be together..,.

in my experience based opinion, Bruno is a liar, abusive, a cheater, and he ABANDONED his wife and child, emotionally, physically and financially... he was not the person he tried to convince me he was from 2007 through July 2012... he psychologically and emotionally manipulated and abused me when he would repeatedly threaten to kill or hurt himself if he had to leave the country/his son... but it turns out he could not care less about either of those things... Bruno is the epitome of self-centered, superficial, and irresponsible... he left in November 2013, and i swear i will never have anything to do with him (or his fake*, arrogant* enabler) ever again.

*those are all words that OTHER people used to describe her to me... based on the consistancy of disgust and general dislike for that female, i feel compelled to describe her as others did, without regret.

i am SO SORRY that we were ALL duped by that person. he broke my heart and by cheating on me and abandoning his son he has solidified a generational family dysfunction. 

i will try to disable this fundrazr after i update this message.
