Preferential Treatment


My name is Amena and when I was barely 18 I married Amir. My parents had arranged the marriage. He was 36. Twice my age. He already had the big house and cars and the only things missing were a wife and children. This is where I come in. We married, I lost my virginity and became pregnant. Everybody was happy and wished me a son, not health and happiness, but a son. Well their wishes were in vain, I delivered a baby girl naturally after 32 hours of labor. Silent contractions as per my husbands request. At 18 I became a mother to 7 pound 2 oz. 20 inch long Leena Farah. My relatives were dissappointed but I was happy, a son would have been the entire familys son. Leena was simply mine. I took her home and began the crying fits and sleepless nights we call newborn parenting. Even though I had my husband I was the one who was expected to go get Leena when she cried at night. The first time Amir came to the doctors with me was at my 6 week checkup. The doctor told me I was good to go and that night Amir decided he wanted me pregnant again. It happened and 9 months later I had a baby boy, Jaser Amir Nasser. This time my family had a ton of celebrations and parties for Jaser. It was very tiring to go to a party when you didn't sleep the past two nights, your body had just pushed out a baby, you dressed and fed and cuddled said baby plus babys sister, you got baby taken away by relatives eager to look at him, and then you were reunited with the very same baby, although now it came back screaming looking like a purple sea creature. Repeat 10 times and you have the first two weeks of my sons life. Plus Amir kept telling me how to be a mother. When I had Leena he hadn't cared whether I breastfed or not. With Jaser I could only breastfeed him. No bottles. Amir gave me times and places to take him and he really lost intrest in our daughter. It was like she didn't exist to him now that a boy was around. Amir wanted one more son just in case and when Jaser was only 10 months and Leena was only 20 months I had another girl, Samara Amena. Amir simply ignored her and Leena and took Jaser places. It was unfair and ridiculous. At Samaras 6 week checkup everything was great. That night Amir said he wanted to try for another boy. I told him no. I left the next morning with the three kids and all of their things. And by all I do mean I packed the suitcases full with the entire contents of their drawers. I even stuck the stroller in the back of the SUV. Amir and I got divorced. I had a baby girl, Mirah Leila. Another daughter of Amirs. I am a single mother of 4 young children but I get child support and I actually got the house. I love all of my children equally. UI am engaged to a wonderful man and we are planning on two children together, either gender is fine. He loves my babies more than Amir does. Amir tried to get custody of only our son but he lost. Thank God. Luck to all!!!

THIS IS FOR GLORIA AND ANY OTHER PRE-MOMS!

It's okay. Take a deep breath. You're bringing a beautiful person into this world, who has a chance of their own. Don't get abortion, you'll be scarred for life knowing you killed your own baby. If you don't know a way to tell your parents, here's one: Tell them calmly. Say you are ready to take full responsibilty and please ask them for forgiveness. Say you have learned your lesson, but you are ready to bring a child into this world, but you can't without their full support. If they kick you out, then they're not good supporters. Find someone who is. BUt NEVER give up education. It's so important. Get all your schoolwork one week at a time and do it at home. Then, after your babby is born, focus on getting early admittance to colleges and getting your diplomas and scholorships. Education is so important. Don't worry, it'll be okay. xoxo,
Shelby.
