The Transformational Community Development (TCD) program continues. During a visit to project participant Umm Jumana’s home, she said, “I was very sad and bitter because my husband is an addict. I tried many things to help him give up his addiction, but to no avail. I convinced him to go to an addiction treatment facility, so he went, and my daughters and I were left alone under these difficult circumstances. I began to feel an explosion in my emotions, which led to quarrels with my children. I also began to feel physical pain. This had an impact on my health, and I felt like a failure in my life. I surrendered to my anger, and I was bitter with myself. However, after I heard the TCD lesson about bitterness, my thoughts began to change, and I began to welcome something new into my life. I began to realize that my circumstances were difficult, but I needed to let go. My husband is now home until he heals. I have begun to calm down and be filled with peace, even with the pressures I am going through. I deal with my children calmly. I talked to a friend of mine and told her about what was inside me. I practice sports and replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts about my life. I fill myself with reassurance and peace.”
