Even in the few moments I steal for myself, I’m thinking about my children. They stay up studying and working on the computer, while I go to bed. I’m always worrying about who will turn off the generator; maybe a bullet will come from somewhere...I can’t fall asleep till I’m sure they’ve all gone to bed. I don’t want them to feel like I’m restricting them, but I can’t overcome my fear. Antoinette, Mosul
