Salam Mary,

I want to start off by saying I am sorry you had to experience an abusive but I am happy you got out of it. Not just for your own sake but your children. It’s very normal to go back and forth between feelings of being able to move on and that of sadness. Remember healing from grief comes in steps that are fluid and we are constantly going back and fourth between these steps. You will one day accept your past and be content with your present and future. I used to best myself up for not getting over my divorce quicker. I would get frustrated with myself for crying, feeling sad or thinking of my ex husband but I later realized I had to go through those feelings to process my divorce and later accept it. I encourage you to keep reading this series and I hope it helps you during your time of need. My duas to you and your children.

Mariam
