Somayeh's life in the desert: How to prepare mountain tomatoes

The picture you paint of Somayeh is more than a simple narrative; she is a symbol of a mother's sheer resistance to the most difficult circumstances possible: homelessness, pregnancy, hunger, fear of predators, and being chased by an addict husband who threatens the life of her child. Let's peel back the layers of this suffering: · "She was forced to come to the desert alone" This sentence is the most bitter part of the story. Choosing the desert without water and grass was not out of necessity but out of despair of human shelters. Where there is no sound except the howling of jackals and the hissing of snakes. · Mountain tomatoes This meager and sour-tasting food becomes Somayeh's most golden possession. With trembling hands, she divides every bite between herself and her fetus, not knowing how long this raw food will last. · Running away from her addict husband to save her child This means that her husband was so dangerous that even a dilapidated shelter in a distant village was not safe for her. Somayeh preferred to stand empty-handed facing an enemy called the desert rather than die under its shadow. #Saving_Somaiya #Don't_Leave_the_Desert_Mother_Alone #Shelter_for_Damaged_Women #Helping_a_Homeless_Pregnant_Mother Suggested composition for a compact post: #Somaiya #Homeless_Pregnant_Mother #Alone_in_the_Desert #Escape_from_Addicted_Husband #Save_my_Child #I_Want_Shelter
