With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. With a new found hope, I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, my mind full of thoughts
I realized that In a healthy relationship, vulnerability is wonderful. It leads to increased intimacy and closer bonds. When a healthy person realizes that he or she hurt you, they feel remorse and they make amends. It's safe to be honest. In my experience, it's quite the opposite.
I have come to terms with the fact that I am in an abusive marriage, vulnerability is dangerous. It's considered a weakness, which acts as an invitation for more mistreatment. Abusive people feel a surge of power when they discover a weakness. They exploit it, using it to gain more power. Crying or complaining confirms that they've poked you in the right spot. That's why I have stoped caring about whatever Ahmad does to me these days, neither do I cry over it.
In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. From my weakness, I drew strength that never left me.
I was getting dressed after a shower when I heard my phone ringing, I glanced at the screen and I saw "mum" written on it. I did a quick happy dance before hitting the answer button
My mother wanted to know how I was doing, we talked for a while and it felt really good. There is this thing about her voice, it makes me forget all of my problems, even if it was for a little while. She gave me the strength, courage and motivation to carry on with my day
My mother is a safe aura in a sea of worries and uncertainty. She stands for clarity where only chaos seems to grow. She is a fresh breeze that lifts the souls of people, the restorative wind in my soul.
She is the kind of woman you turn to for support, guidance and comfort. Who create things that become a source of stability for people, some sort of home. She is marvelously kind in difficult circumstances of all sorts
In character, in manner, in style, in all the things, the supreme excellence is my mother. An inspiration to all women
Like all magnificent things, she is very simple. Her beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, She's got this timeless elegance with a modern appeal
Her class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky.
Her lips only speak words of kindness. Her lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
While growing up, she told us she had two hands but only one belonged to her. The other one is for helping others, she is the kindest person I have ever known
After finishing my house chores and lunch, I went to the hair salon to make my hair. I was stepping out of the salon when I received a call from Ahmad
"You need to come home really quickly" he said, as soon as I picked up
"What happened" I asked, with panic evident in my voice
"It's my mother, we need to go seat with her and comfort her" he told me
"Omg, what for?" I asked
"She was stopped today by some road traffic law enforcement officers earlier today. She was caught talking on the phone while driving, which is a national offense. Not even her husbands name or her fathers old glory could save her today. She had to pay the penalty for the offense" he said, bitterly
"But how is she?" I asked
"She is sad, down, and was in tears when she called me narrating the incident to me" he said
