I understand her pain, but she's also making pretty dumb decisions, just like Hamza. At this point, I don't care who is more right (none of them is). They are both stupid and need to just stay away from each other forever.
It's not about "belief". Its a fear SJ as an abuser who has a reach in her brain (which is how abuse works) placed in her mind. And honestly, is it that irrational, can we completely blame it on trauma ?
When SJ infront of the whole family said she would take the baby and raise it herself, freaking Raees gut reacted going what the hell. Hamza didn’t move an eyelash. Hamza never ever does counter his mother or go against her. Reminder that from Hala's pov, SJ tried to kill her child and Hamza watched. If they remain apart, then all SJ needs to do is prove Hala is mentally unstable (which she can easily do, Hala has panic attacks on the sight of her) and bam, custody taken from Hala and possible restraining other. SJ can and will snatch her baby if she wants to, Hala knows it. What will Hamza do ? Being a mama's boy, he will just watch at best, or believe his mother and blame Hala again at worst.
I am sorry but I am exhausted of people mocking motherhood fears, and Hala's fear of losing her child actually makes a lot of sense.
It's not about believing SJ, its about the legitimate fear.
