My best wishes, and prayers, for you.

Thank you and Insha'Allah everything will work out as it should. I have spoken to him in the last couple of days. He is showing some remorse for his actions and it seems that he wants to change his life. We are taking things very slow and Insha'Allah by the time the baby is due. We will be able to come together as a family.

I know that this is not my fault, but I do not want to lose my husband. Putting him in the jail might have just caused me to lose him. Right now I was informed he will be leaving for kuwait and he will not be allowed back into the country because he could have killed the baby when he hit me and something to do with his school. If he leaves I will more than likely never see him again and he will ask for divorce. I am so confused and deeply depressed. I know Allah will help me through this but right now I feel completely hopeless.

Greetings karimah,
I am so sorry.  I know, no one chooses to raise a child alone.  I had to raise my 3 children alone after my husband left but God's grace and goodness got me through as I turned my life to Him.  I hope you find the support that you need in your community.  It does sound, thankfully, as though your family is there for you, yes?  You would not want to live your life being beaten, or to raise a child in that environment.  Perhaps God will send a partner who will treat you well and be a good example for your child.  No matter what you must lean on God as your provider and your strength.
Salaam and may God's blessings be with you,
Caringheart

I so wish my other posts had not disappeared.  I know that I was moved to share my heart with you the other night.

Salaam, as I know hitting a woman while pregnant is very wrong. My husband is battling substance abuse and alcoholism. I think this might have caused him to become angry. He was not able to get alcohol or drugs for a couple of days. He has never been violent like this. This why I am not sure if I said something wrong or he just reacted to an innocent remark. He asked me strangly if I would kill for love and I said no, I would only kill for my family and for my religion. THis for whatever reason sparked his anger.
