She was surprised by the agreement of everyone around her, so they wrote her marriage contract and announced their joy at this engagement. But \"Thuraya\", from that moment, saw the \"dream boy\" only in nightmares that pursued her in her sleep. She saw him every night beating her and being harsh with her, and night after night she saw in her sleep that he divorced her and her life turned into hell.<\/p>\n<p>And \"Thuraya's\" problem does not stop at her refusal or her lack of desire for marriage, but fear pursued her because of her suffering from bedwetting, which her mother and her fianc\u00e9's mother \"her aunt\" knew about and paid no attention to, at a time when it was considered one of the causes of the nightmares that pursued \"Thuraya\".<\/p>\n<p>And here, from the midst of this weakness, the girl could not bear this tragedy, and lived a real battle with herself and the society around her, until at last she rose up by her own will and shook off the garment of weakness and humiliation, and saw at last that her treatment and the saving of her life would only be by her own hand. From this starting point she arrived at, she began to fight the war of will with circumstances and with illness, and her address for that was \"the Palestinian Center for Democracy and Conflict Resolution\".<\/p>\n<p>\"Thuraya\" went to the Centre, caring for nothing around her, and met one of the psychological specialists there, and began telling her story, recounting her suffering and casting off the worries that had weighed on her youth. And time after time she began to feel safe, as if someone were extending a hand to her and calling to her: \"Come closer and be strong, for you have begun to go towards the shore of safety.\"<\/p>\n<p>And with \"Thuraya\" undergoing many sessions of treatment and psychological support at the Centre, through which she came to understand the solutions to her problems, how to deal with her fianc\u00e9 and how to face her illness, she began to feel safe, and came to master the art of dealing with every problem or obstacle that tried to stand in her way to happiness and a clear life. Of her own will she improved her treatment of her fianc\u00e9, while her suffering from her illness began to lessen time after time, the nightmares disappeared from her sleep and she began to build her dreams in reality and in sleep, thereby embodying a story of success and victory over the afflictions and problems of the society around her.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0628\u0642\u0644\u0645\/ \u0631\u0646\u0640\u062f\u0629 \u0628\u0640\u0631\u0643\u0640\u0629 \u0628\u064a\u0646 \u0623\u0645\u0648\u0627\u062c \u0645\u062a\u0644\u0627\u0637\u0645\u0629\u060c \u0647\u0627\u0626\u062c\u0629 \u0645\u0646 \u0628\u062d\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0623\u0633\u0627\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u064a \u062a\u062d\u064a\u0627\u0647\u0627 \u0643\u0648\u0627\u062d\u062f\u0629 \u0645\u0646 \u0623\u0628\u0646\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062c\u062a\u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0644\u0633\u0637\u064a\u0646\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0630\u064a \u062a\u0623\u062e\u0630 \u0628\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0638\u0631\u0648\u0641 \u0645\u0646 \u062d\u0648\u0644\u0647 \u0648\u0645\u0639\u064a\u0634\u062a\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0646\u0643\u0629 \u0625\u0644\u0649 \u062f\u0646\u064a\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0634\u0631\u062f \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0636\u064a\u0627\u0639\u060c \u062a\u062e\u0631\u062c &#8220;\u0627\u0644\u062b\u0631\u064a\u0627&#8221;\u060c \u0644\u062a\u0648\u0627\u062c\u0647 \u0648\u0627\u0642\u0639\u0627\u064b \u062f\u0648\u0627\u0645\u0627\u064b \u0641\u064a \u0623\u0634\u062f \u0645\u0627 \u064a\u0643\u0648\u0646 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0644\u0645\u060c \u0645\u062d\u0627\u0648\u0644\u0629 \u0623\u0646 \u062a\u0646\u0642\u0630 \u0646\u0641\u0633\u0647\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0628\u062f\u0627\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u063a\u0631\u0642 \u0641\u064a \u0645\u062a\u0627\u0647\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062c\u062a\u0645\u0639\u060c \u0648\u062a\u0633\u0645\u0648 \u0628\u062d\u064a\u0627\u062a\u0647\u0627 \u0641\u0648\u0642 \u0643\u0644 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcdcr.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
