Pavla: Uh-oh, another heavy topic of conversation. Did I hear something about divorce?

Jami: Yes. Olga’s saying how Muslim women are abused.

Pavla: That goes for all women, doesn’t it?

Olga: You what??? You’re saying you feel abused?

Jami: Well, at least Pavla knows what I’m talking about.

Olga (stunned): What???

Jami: You’ve never heard her stories about her mother’s divorce?

Olga: How is that related to abuse? That would be horrible?

Pavla: Well you wouldn’t survive it, that’s for sure!!!! A drunk father, mother on pills, bruises galore, broken plates and windows, doors kicked in … you want any more details?

Olga: What?? And when did this all take place???

Pavla: I was young, I don’t really remember, but my brother was old enough to remember.

Olga: God, I’m so sorry …. …………….

Jami: You see Olga, that wouldn’t happen in my country….
