I'm dating this Cambodian guy and his family seems to be really messed up! But so many of his Cambodians friends are in the same boat. Is it normal amongst the Cambodian culture?

Ex: His step-dad goes back and forth between his X-Wife and current wife.
His "current wife" isn't legally his "wife" although he lives w/ her most of the time, b/c he married another Cambodian lady for $$$.
His step-dad supposedly forced his daughter (my boyfriends) half-sister to fly to Cambodia to marry a cambodian for money in order to legalize him.
The sister mentioned above, doesn't care for her 2 daughters, she abandoned them. By boyfriend and his mother are responsible for the girls. Why the mother doesn't make the daughter care for them but can maker her marry someone for $$$ is beside me.
This sister lives w/ her half sister and fathers X-Wife.
He supports his mother financially, i'm still unclear as to why the step-dad doesn't have this responsibility.

Is this an isolated incident or common practice for Cambodians?
Please enlighten me.

How much schooling do you have, girlfriend!

Why do you have to associating everything to the "CULTURE" for? Do you even know what it is? Just like you said and concluded: "Your boyfriend's family seems to be really messed up." What is your number by the word "MANY"?

Just case by case, girlfriend. Look at it case by case only. There are countless of white girls going through incestual experiences as documented by Freud himself, does that mean the it is the culture of the white people for the fathers to molest their daughters?

Girlfriend, listen to "Yougottaknow". I think is comment is reflective of who you truly are. Just because you are a mess, please don't generalize that others are in the same boat as you. Lol. Move along now, ya hear, girlfriend.

That is just one dysfunctional family. Is your bf's family mormon? I don't see why they all can't just live within the same house, its normal practice for them to be pro supporters of polygamy.

Web hosting is an exciting and growing industry. With that, however – comes a lot of confusion. At HostNews we work to condense that information and free you from the fluff. Our goal is to help consumers effectively compare web hosting providers, and to provide industry professionals with easy access to news and resources relevant to their business – As notably mentioned in the Journal Sentinel.

What is webhosting?

Web hosting providers basishost rent out storage on computers known as servers on a monthly basis. This storage can be used for a variety of purposes, but usually when referring to “web hosts” we are referring to companies that store or “host” web sites. Most starter hosting plans are around $5-10 a month, and provide everything you need to manage a web site, the ability install blogs, etc.

What is a domain?

Anytime you see a “www.example.com” type web address, that’s a domain name, or web address. We recommend you reserve a domain name before selecting a web host through an accredited provider such asbasishost. Your web host will then give you a nameserver address that will allow you to sync your web hosting account and your domain name automatically.

If you want to make a blog, look for web hosts that offer “wordpress” pre-installed to make life easier. If you will be using a visual editor such as FrontPage, look for “FrontPage” hosting. Make sure your host supports PHP scripts. Unix/Linux hosting is more often used at a beginning level than Windows hosting. If you are unsure, look at a hosting package feature-by-feature.

For designing actual HTML pages, FrontPage is as easy to use as Microsoft Word and does everything including, uploading your files to the server through what’s called FTP (file transfer protocal). Paint Shop Pro is ideal for making images for logos and buttons, or try LogoWorks. Your hosting package will already have basic analytics on it to track visitors, and will have email capabilities.
