As a child I was sexually abused for years by my servant. I felt ashamed of my weakness yet I could never talk to my parents as i thought none would believe me … I buried horrible part of my past in the dark depths… I was never good in studies and the comments of my family made sure I would never be … I didn’t realize they loved me or cared for me until I got married … I was a failure in my eyes..
My Mother-in-law would blame me for not being a good wife as I didn’t know how to cook I always had help … slowly, I saw my husband resenting me which eventually turned to hate … feeling was mutual as my mother-in-law hated me as I wasn’t a perfect housekeeper … and my parents did their part too as they were in a habit of controlling our lives and I always did what they told me to …
So after around a year my husband started hitting me and belittling me … this went on for 7 years .. My kids grew up looking at me being beaten and insulted … but I never accepted or subdued … I would fight back. And then we separated.. I had just snapped. fast forward six months, I returned but this time I was there for revenge as because of kids we couldn’t separate … and I was going deeper and deeper in hate n depression …
Then I got to know of Munira and then the life started to change … I was able to understand and empathize with my mother in law and husband … I learnt to accept myself and love myself with all my flaws … I rejoice at my resilience.. I love I am still standing tall … Boundary Setting…. the phenomenon that changed my life. Private sessions with Munira taught me how to set boundaries with all the people in my life.
