To
SingleMom.com, please share my story:
I'm one of those afghan women who
been abused in united state for almost 11 yeas same way as other afghan women in
Afghanistan. I couldn't even make any different between living in U.S. and
Afghanistan till one of my neighbor met me at grocery store and she told me "My
God! What The Hell is going on with you ? You look like a sick person are you in
drug or something?"
I said "No, I just do not feel
like talking with you, I need to get back home before my 30 minutes given goes
up." She asked me what do you mean by minutes given to you? I said my husband
said you should finish shopping in 20 minutes and get back home in 30 minutes if
I get late he will beat me up like anything :(
Then she showed me a way to escape
from that jail. She told me how to find a safe way to runaway she contact the
police and right now I'm in police custody and I'm safe the only thing is
bothering me is financial problems. I have 3 kids. I'm full time student and
English is my second language. I'm trying hard to finish my study because once I
asked my husband that I want to study and then he laughed at me and told me that
"You are going to study? you? afghan women don't study. They just stay at home
take care of their kids and worship their husband." "I'm telling you that you
will never study till I'm alive. You have to kill me before you go to school."
That was the very bad effect in my
brain until now and by the time I got separated from him I started going to
G.E.D. classes. After that I got my High school diploma, and now I'm enrolled in
college and I want to finish my college to show my husband that all afghan women
are not his shoes to be used by their husband. They can live by them selves if
they start believing in them selves.
I shared this story with you all
because I'm the first girl in my whole family who lives alone after marriage.
And I might be the first afghan women sharing her story with you all. I really
do need support and if I get support from you all, I might be the best example
for all afghan women's freedom and they all will see their dreams come true as
mine.
I really love this website and
that is why I shared my story with you all hope to hear from you all Good bless
you all.
