Part 2- My conversation with Jumana continues. In this episode Jumana tells us a heartbreaking yet heartwarming story about her life as a noncustodial mother. In 2002 Jumana was 24 years old, serving active duty in the United States Air Force when she gave birth to her first child. After receiving orders to deploy to South Korea when her son was just a baby, she faced the painful reality of leaving him for an entire year to serve her country. Years later she came to find out that her child’s father had become the primary custodian of their son during that initial deployment. A legal technicality that was established by default while serving her country stood firmly in the way of any parental rights she assumed were equally hers. Jumana and I discuss the judgment she encountered, the misinformed stereotypes that exist, and what it means for a zip code to have no bearing on a mother’s emotional presence in her child’s life.
