We grew up in a Roman Catholic home and my father was abusive. My poor mother had no voice! She lived in terror until she turned 65 and I went to the police. They supported my Mother but she did not know how to live on her own. So she went back. He never hit her again but the emotional abuse she lived under was terrible! I will never ever forgive him or the church for allowing this to happen to two innocent children, always blaming my sweet kind mother!
Her story is not just about domestic violence. It is a cultural practice and belief that women and children are properties of men. Unless people recognize and admit the difference, this lesson will never be learnt.
So beautiful!
In Canada it's not very expensive to legally change your name. She should change name.
Poor lamb😳😭 so sad!!!!!!!!
The interviewer sucks
Wow
I remember the movie and it left a great impact.. Brave mom and daughter
I dont listen to you any more because you promote Christmas telling "true story of Christmas", which is lie its pagan.you are lying to people about a pagan festival that has been portrayed as christian.its detestable.God hates that.sacrifices today are a blasphemy.yes but she was a divorcee and disobeyed the Lord by marrying a non believers.and antichrist.you do t have to go back to some one who repeatedly hurts you .you are supposed to separate from disobedient christians.and lupus has herbal remedies and try keto genic diet and dr berg advice on nutrition that affects it.I can rember if its wheat juice grass that helps leaky gut you'll have to seek for yourself.my daughter was kidnapped by ss in UK she was taken with out court order when I was proven no risk.
Strange things……… dear woman……… you tell us of a celebration in your honor by committing a murder of an innocent creature….. What's wrong with you to be speaking in this way……. and you're smiling……… Wow…… I turned your video off and never saw the rest of it…… Dear woman, you ought to have your mind and your heart examined by your soul……… and see what it things of this……………..
Very wonderful story. I can't wait to read the book!
Please look into natural remedies for lupus it saved me.
who cares
Whole story is weird. She is weird. Maybe needs more counselling.
Til you wanted to leave…..horrible…. forgiveness is amazing …so are you ..!!!
Cat nap is correct. I completely agree. It is hard enough for different races to mix due to families not accepting one or the other. But to mix cultures is a big no. One would have to give up for the other, hence losing one's own self. This story is the perfect example of what happens. And especially nowadays anyone who would marry from over there would be just crazy. No just no.
God Bless you and your family, Mahtob💖🌹
Your story is inspiring till this day, I love hearing about your faith, and I am so glad you forgave your Father🌹
Merry Christmas 🎄🌹
The movie was one of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. I cannot imagine how much fear there was but also how much inner strength it must have taken for you and your mom to escape the country. I can hardly wait to read the book.
This woman CAN'T be 26 years old. WTH?
She make money,
When I visited my parents I chose not to go back to my husband who had choked me and kept me in our bedroom when he was furious with me over petty things. My husband didn’t know where I was. My parents encouraged me to reconcile. Then this movie cam out. My parents agreed to go with me. This movie saved my life because my parents understood and brought me to a woman’s shelter where I learned how to keep my children and myself safe. I lived in terror for 20 years until he passed away (from cancer)
The movie not with out my daughter never even mention the lady was a beliver in Christ ….
I've watched all 3 stories. From Bettys to Sayed and mahtobs… Maybe they went through tough times, but I have to say there are holes in betty and mahtobs story. I know her dad spent many years trying to talk or see his daughter… We Will NEVER know the whole truth…
I remember the film it was brilliant!
This woman looks like she’s pushing 50. How old is she meant to be??
So Christian men don't beat their wives???
I loved the movie with Sally Field. Of course, as an incredible actress every move and feeling was expressed and came out in the movie.
I blame the dad for knowing how his family felt about Americans. Why marry outside of your culture and have children and then cause such pain.
One of the best books I have ever read
She has such a sweet and kind disposition.
She get fat, ugly and are 40 years old and not get married yet, wow good life , after she listened to her mom lies story so they can be famous and make money……
Where's the feminist movement?
You are all stupid ,this is money making .lies for riches not the truth,lies for money making movies and becoming an athur with one book.if it was the truth they would change their familie names, not keeping it for making money.
Does anybody know if he ever spoke to his daughter or wife again after they left iran?
What an intelligent and interesting woman. Amazing and tragic story. I hope she is able to overcome her illness.
And that is why the muslim nations cannot be trusted. The treatment of women and children is inexcusable .
My father was very abusive with my mom that she had to escape with me and my younger brother, and we are Hispanic
Tbh every race or culture they are bad seed men
I married a Indian Muslim man and he is way better then any man I have ever been with have two kids with him
People will tell me jokes about this just cuz he is Muslim so I will tell them stop being ignorant
They’re kind men helping her and her mom escape
Like I said not all of them are like that my husband is great father and great husband
But not my father
I did forgive him but I don’t talk to
Him much
a very controversial case due to the difficult relationship of USA and Iran – things got mixed together
I see it as a story of domestic violence and cultural differences – and I very much admire this woman for her courage
but I do not agree with USA pretending to have rights over the Iranian people or any people of the World
I am not an "enemy of America", but I am very much against the shadow ("Mr. Hide") part of USA, the Imperialism part
I am also against all predatory imperialist practices around the Globe done by any psychopath individual or regime , including the shadow part of Iran or any other country
the fight should be against the shadow, the predatory practices, everywhere
we must practice tolerance to protect the Earth and humanity
Her mother prayed to Christian God. Jesus. Muslims pray to allah and spill blood. I spit on them.
may i ask where can i get there books that they both wrote
Funny to look back just a few years and see this video-
There’s no way in hell fake news would tell this story in 2019
Islam is nasty. Escape ASAP.
One of the 99 Names of Allah is "The greatest of all to deceivers"
YouTube " David Wood " " Islam Critiqued " " Christian Prince "
Thanks GOD her father is death he is in hell
She’s attractive , Good men would chase her
Ladies please DO NOT marry middle eastern men!!! Take it from an Arab
Wow she's the picture of her Mother Blessings ✌️🍀🌹
Her mother was incredibly brave.
