Later, I found out it was because DHS told her to leave or she could loose children. It took the threat of loosing her children for my mother to leave my father. After that though she never left us kids alone with him for she did not trust him. My mom once told me she left my father because he started abusing her in public.

It sickens me, it truly does, that the people of my country, the ever-developing and modern Jordan, refuse to let go of these backward traditions. It is a shame. Look at that. Jordan, 90%.
