In this episode of Family Matters: Real Divorce Stories from the South Asian Community, Sarah Khan-Bashir sits down with social care specialist Salima Iqbal to discuss her divorce journey and life after separation. Salima shares her approach to navigating divorce with dignity, focusing on maintaining respect and positive relationships, especially when children are involved. She shares why she thinks it's helpful to keep personal matters private, control your narrative, and not let community voices dictate your decisions.
Salima’s story is one of grace and mutual respect. She continues to be welcomed at her ex-husband’s family events, which she credits to the way they navigated their divorce together, and how they present themselves to the world. She also touches on the challenges she witnesses by daughters who take on caregiving roles post-divorce and the complexities of decision-making within family structures.
Salima’s advice on open dialogue with children and seeking support is both practical and inspiring, offering a refreshing perspective on navigating life after divorce.
