How I found myself by freeing from others' expectations.
"Married to Find My Place": How I Stopped Being a Homeless Girl and Found Myself
A woman in her 30s came to me; she lives with a man but is not married.
Every day she feels like "nobody" — without legal support, without a blessing, without status.
She is tired of fulfilling the duties of a wife while remaining "just a cohabitant." She believes that a stamp in her passport will give her what she has never had — a place, security, protection from a judgmental society.
But deep down, her request hid a completely different hunger: she didn't so much want to get married as she dreamed of breaking free from the prison of others' expectations and finally allowing herself to live the way she wants.
