“When mama and papa separated when the kids were still young, it wasn’t easy to go through because they didn’t understand anything at the time,” she said.
She added that she only managed to persevere thanks to the support of her family and her late mother, who helped care for the children when they were young.
“I’m grateful, back then I had my late mum, dad, brother, and sister who helped look after them together.
I also had close friends who were willing to accompany me anywhere.
It wasn’t easy, but Alhamdulillah, I had Allah,” she expressed.
Now, her eldest child Danish is 22 years old, Dania is 20, and her youngest Danisha is about to turn 17.

“Looking back, I’ve gone through so many amazing things,” Abby added with gratitude.
In the same post, Abby also apologized to her children, feeling she hasn’t been perfect enough as a mother.
“Sorry mama isn’t perfect enough to be an amazing mama.
One who can do everything, who can solve every problem.
Thank you, Allah,” Abby expressed again.
For the record, Abby and Norman tied the knot in 2002 and were blessed with three children. They divorced in 2009.
In August 2015, Abby remarried to Muhammad Faizal Zakaria. – BOOM!
