A Woman’s Strength: Fighting Against the Odds
Written by: Ms. Shahnoor
In a strict and traditional society, life is hard for a divorced woman. But for a mother who has not only suffered an abusive marriage but was also abandoned by her own parents, life feels even more painful. She is alone, with no support, but she refuses to give up. Every day, she picks up her broken pieces and keeps going—for herself and her son.
Her marriage was full of pain. She faced cruelty, harsh words, and actions that made her feel small. But one day, she decided she had enough. She walked away, knowing that leaving was not the end of her struggles. People would judge her. Her own family refused to stand by her. But she chose freedom over fear.
Even when she feels lonely, even when people talk behind her back, she does not let it break her. She puts her trust in God. She believes that everything happens for a reason, and that every hardship is a test. This belief gives her the courage to keep going.
Every morning, she looks at her son and finds a reason to smile. He is her strength. She teaches him to be kind, to be strong, and to never let life make him bitter. Though she has been hurt, she does not want him to carry anger. Instead, she wants him to grow with love in his heart.
People may say she is weak, but she knows the truth. She is not weak—she is strong. Every scar, every tear, every painful night has made her braver. She is not just surviving; she is learning to live again.
She does not wait for people to accept her. She has learned to accept herself. Life has been unfair to her, but she refuses to give up. The wind pushes her back, but she keeps moving forward. She believes that after every storm, there is light. And one day, she will step into the sunshine, stronger than ever.
This woman is me. I believe that success is moving from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm. No matter how many times life knocks me down, I will rise again—because I am not defeated. I am a fighter, and my story is not over yet.
