Landed...
I'm in Cda. Arrived some time ago. Drove away to my new freedom. The freedom that my children and I so rightly deserve. We kept it all hush hush.
What more to say? I'm sooooo busy. Paperwork and more paperwork. We have not contacted hubby / ex. He knows we are here. They discovered us missing quite fast, surprisingly. But yes, when you are being watched constantly, what more could I expect.....
And what's the interesting news? Well, many friends of my hubby/ex are sending me desperate emails.....supposedly the ex is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the family together. He wants to know what I want and he'll do it.....
Boy! Do I need to ask? Don't u think after saying it again and again, that something would have STUCK in his brain?
And then there is the little problem of it being too late.
I appreciate everyones help and support.....I know that I'm going to be quite busy these coming days........make dua for us. Who knows what this new road will bring??

Alhamdulillah!!! You did it!!!
Don't fall for his stuff. It smacks of desperation.
Be careful if you see him. Maybe have a friend or family member with you.

PS - I didn't tell you how PROUD I am of you, and how I admire your courage. You go girl!!! You and the kids deserve this. Imagine: a new life! Many sisters don't get this opportunity from Allah (swt).

Safa, you are so awesome, Masha Allah. I am so happy and excited. I'm having a down day, and reading this perked me up a bit, alhamdulillah. I am so relieved you are back in Canada. I'm sure you must be breathing a sigh of relief yourself to be on home turf again.
I agree, too little, too late on his part. Do what you have to do to bring stability and happiness into you and your kids' lives. May Allah make it easy on you. Ameen.
Are your kids doing okay? Insha Allah, I hope they are excited about being back in Canada. I hope it is easy for them to settle into a new life in a (sorta) new country for them as well, insha Allah.

Safa I'm sooooo proud of you! You are a strong woman! I really hope this transition goes quickly for you as I'm sure it won't be easy, but alhumdullilah that you got out safe and fine.
Honestly, You ARE amazing!

You go girl. Stick to your guns and do not fall for his 'too little too late' tactic. You do what you need to do for you and your family, you deserve the best and I am afraid that your stbx is not the best for you. Miss you tonnes.
11:06 PM
Alhamdulillah, Safa, that's wonderful!
12:08 AM
I am glad you have taken control of your life. May Allah be with you.
12:18 AM
OH I placed my hands over my mouth and cried when I read this.
Alhamdulilah! This is so wonderful..
Dear I don't know how the laws are in Canada but I wouldn't let him take the kids alone until you get the divorce and the child visitation rules settled.
OH I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!
WAY TO GO SIS!
12:38 AM
Freedom.....yes, you and your children do so rightly deserve it. I am glad you all have made it safely to your homeland. May Allah continue to give you strength and courage now and in the days ahead as you work to create a better life for you and your children.
2:57 AM
Safa,
Alhamdolellah! Welcome home! I was making lots of do'aa for you to be through the police control at the airport safely and without fuss.
When exactly did they discover you were gone? Same day?
Masha'Allah you are one brave woman. Lots of hugz and prayers for you and the kiddos.
3:50 AM
I can't exactly say that I am excited or happy. I am actually quite sad. It's always, to me, sad when a family is broken. It's sad that so much had to be given up for something so not necessary. something optional. something not a right but a privelege that one had to earn. something that he did not succeed at.
i pray for you some peace and security in your life. know that on this difficult road ahead we will always be here for you. you are a very strong woman and don't ever forget that safa. this proves it. it takes a lot for a woman who has known nothing but that life to break free. not many have the courage to do it and you did safa. you have taught your daughters a lot about fighting injustice and oppression and they will be better women...better muslims because of that.
luv you,

Hugs

I agree, you are a very strong woman. He just doesn't get that it's far too late to do anything! The window was cracked long ago, now the crack has spread and the whole window is coming out. It can't be repaired.
Big hugs to you!

Wow! You go girl! I'm so glad that you made this step and had the strength to carry it out! I'll be saying prayers that you will settle in easily and find some peace. Hugs to you!
8:04 AM
Safa!!!!!!!!!!! SubhanAllah. Yay!!! Alhumdulillah this is such good news. Alhumdulillah. I hope everything goes well.
And for him to act like he really cares now??
He can rot in hell. He'll do anything? He should have done it long ago.
Alhumdulillah you are safe. Alhmdulillah.
8:04 AM
ps- you rock my world sweetheart, you absolutely amaze me and inspire me.
8:07 AM
I am so proud of you! I know that it is not easy to say goodbye to a marriage, regardless of how he has been treating you as of late, but your daughters are going to be better off in the long run. You are doing the best for you and the fam and it will pay off. And Gd willing, your daughters will remember the importance of strength throughout their lives!
10:28 AM
I wish you could have seen the smile on my face when I read this! I am so happy you are home. May Allah make the path ahead for you and your children a smooth and easy one.
4:12 PM
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I read the first sentence!! May Allah guide you and your family.. stay strong...

Congrats Safa!! I'm so proud of you. Your story sounds so similar to mine. These past few weeks I've been from hell and back but finally I'm now back in my homeland Australia. I spent 3 weeks in a shelter only to return back to the ex for passports etc...had to fake everything. But I'm happy to say that I'm FREE too! I've been here for a week now and have been busy reestablishing myself and the kids. I have to tell you about my trip here with 5 kids and 15 pieces of luggage, total nightmare!! Look forward to hearing about you future plans!
Love

Safa,
I am so proud of you. You are such a brave, strong, woman. You are an awesome role model for your children. You are free Safa, spread your wings and fly. You can achieve anything you put your mind too. You give me inspiration; you give us all inspiration for a betterment in our own lives.

Alhamdolillah you are on Canadian soil and can now deal with things from here.
If I remember correctly, when you were first married.. you did so 'legally' in Canada, so by divorcing him here he will be required by Canadian law to pay child support (and possibly alimony) as long as he stays in Canada.
My fear is that he will be able to put the business in MM's name (or his brother's) and declare bankruptcy in order to screw you out of a settlement or support. I hope that you have been able to get that power of attorney, you gave him previously, cancelled.
You can't waste any time in getting the process started now Safa. You know you can't trust him farther than you can throw him and he will be getting advice from MM and his friends.
Just don't let him get the upper hand here whatever you do. I know you're a smart woman and a strong woman and that you'll do your absolute best for your children and yourself.
May Allah protect you and your children and make it easy for you inshaAllah. Ameen.
I'll keep you in my prayers.
3:42 AM
You are in my prayers. I knew you would do it when you needed to do it. May Allah bless you and keep you and your children.
Ameen
