My Family Disowned Me

They disowned me 3 years ago after I married my husband. I had converted to Islam 4 years prior to my marriage. They finally accepted that I wouldn’t change my mind and leave Islam, so they cut contact as did my old friends.

They are orthodox Christians. Very conservative. I have a beautiful child that they have never met. The don’t know where I live. If I died my parents would never know and wouldn’t be there to bury their child. They refused to meet my husband and that hurts him deeply.

I feel so alone sometimes. My in laws are fantastic and have took me in. I can’t help but miss my own family very much. I make dua that Allah guides them. It has been harder after I had my own child.

I know this happens to many converts so I’m sharing my story to help them not feel alone.
