on another path.....
Do you know what its like to wake up one day and realize that you are surrounded by an ocean? And that no matter what you do.....no matter how hard you swim......you still appear to be in the middle of it?
Yes, that's what I've been going thru. Sometimes I feel like I'm making it....and other times....I'm surrounded by anxiety.
I think that's just what it is when you are a single mom. You don't have the support of the spouse.....and you have to do what you have to do. Responsibility always falls to you. You are the master of your house by default.
I'm comfortable in that position, because I've been in it for years now. It's what I'm used to. Yet sometimes, you wish you could just hide away........just sometimes.

Did I tell you I've gotten the Islamic Divorce? Khula. YES!! It's done! WOOT WOOT!! Soon I will have a piece of paper in my hand stating that it's done. WOOOHOOOO!!! I have an imam here who is helping me....he's great...masha Allah! Oh how it feels to be free..... (*big breath of freedom....)
~~~~~
And lastly...I'm going to be doing some TV shows. One of them is a 13 episode series called Sex and Religion. That should prove interesting. And the next one is an interview on Soul Tv. Sounds promising, doesn't it?
Hmmm...much more going on and around....but I suppose I'll save that for laters......

OMG - you are such a tease. Just a bit and then you clam up. Yes I agree that is what single parenting is all about - getting comfortable being in charge at all times under allconditions - it is not an easy job - I only had one - but it was a constant challenge - or as I used to think upon it - a constant source of growing opportunities. Keep us posted.

safa thats great! it sounds like youre in good spirits alh. just a couple of weeks ago i received my own islamic divorce which was a huge relief for me but the ex is worse than ever now, refusing to accept it. and alh you have a good imam helping me. it took a while but i finally found one that wasnt on the "man's" side to help me through all of this.
cant wait to hear more about the tv shows!
congrats. Allah is with all of us.

Safa - Congrats on the Kula! I am so happy you have an imam that is on your side. Not enough of them like that. Insha'Allah the rest will happen in no time.
I can so relate what you are going through. Being a single mom is tough. Sometimes I don't want this heavy load of responsibility. I feel like half of what I am feeling should go to my son's father. But he is there, and I am here. And so it goes on.
Please let me know when it will be on.
Love and Hugs!!!

Nope...everything is in his name. By inheritance laws, when he passes on, it will go to the kids......
