Life returned to Her after 20 Years of Suffering
Suad (a pseudonym), 40 years old, did know that a life of misery, pain, and suffering awaits her after she is associated with her cousin who married her 20 years ago.
Since her marriage, she has never known the taste of happiness, because of the cruel treatment of her husband. However, the fear of the three children and their fate, made her bear the cruelty of her husband over these years patiently and in silence.
Although her husband an expatriate in one of the Gulf states, he did not change his cruel treatment of his wife, but his cruelty increased, especially after he returned as a result of deportation.
Since his return, he has become a terrifying nightmare for his wife and children. His children have been deprived of their education and forced to go to work to return with the money. Those who do not return money are imprisoned in a room for several days without food or drink.
All this made his wife and children in a bad psychological state, especially after he threatened to divorce her if she spoke with him a single word.
Then Suad tried to find a way to save her children from this torment and suffering, but she had only one way which is to kill her children and then commit suicide.
But the divine predestination intervened, and before that, her husband expelled her from the house on the pretext that he could no longer bear her and wanted to marry another woman, forcing her to return to her family’s house.
Now, Suad is suffering from distress and hopelessness in everything. She begins to hate all men and encourages her daughter to reject anyone proposes to her and convince her that all men are like her father.
Suad does not know that this will be the beginning to change her life and her children from suffering and pains to happiness and joy.
One day, during her stay at her family’s home in AL-Bayda governorate, a woman from the village met her and told her to call the free hotline to take psychological counseling to relieve her troubled condition.
Suad initially was not enthusiastic about it, but she later saw that she would not lose anything if she tried it. She actually called the hotline, and from here the twinkle of hope shone in front of Suad. the hotline psychologist listened to her story and her condition, asking her to attend some psychotherapy sessions.
Undergoing treatment
The psychologist began by encouraging Suad to relieve herself of all that she felt and helped her to show her condition. The psychologist also encouraged her to have psychotherapy sessions and told her that she is not the only one facing such conditions.
Suad agreed to undergo psychological treatment, the psychologist explained the nature of the treatment and told her that her husband’s cruel treatment is due to suffering from personality disorder as well as from mental disorder, as a result of his parent’s death and his life as an orphan who moved to live with his sister and her husband, who was brutally harassing him. This means that he did not deliberately treat her with such harshness, and his cruel treatment would end as soon as he is treated, which made her feel reassured and relieved.
Developing her capabilities
She was helped to expand her vision of things more for her to relax and control anxiety and tension throughout the sessions, her sister-in-law was around during that period as a physiotherapist assistant in the behavioral therapy. Besides, Suad was trained to return to her ordinary activities and reintegrate her into society.
Improving her conditions
Signs of improvement began to appear during the first two weeks, which made her keen on continuing the psychological treatment sessions. Suad did not only recovered from the psychological disorder but also was able to convince her husband’s family to find a solution for their son, and indeed her husband underwent a clinical appointment with the psychiatrist in the same institution and was diagnosed as suffering from a “state of psychosis and personality disorder and needed treatment. The wife was told how to deal with a husband and help him with the treatment.
After six months of treatment and psychological sessions, Suad, the wife returned to her children. The husband, who soon after recovered and started getting better, was able to reunite with his children and wife since the divorce was an invalid decision due to his incapacity at the time.
