I had a ridiculous mystical experience and it set me up for faith. Everything I had available to me, literature- wise, was apologist or pandering to Islam. My husband at the time was very nice. He was not practicing, but he believed. So I was already in the community. I had an unorthodox and difficult childhood, with no parental guidance. Islam is the ultimate parent. It most likely filled a vacuum within me. There are instructions for every little thing.
Ridiculous mystical experience - did it involve mojos or coincidence or hot air on a beach?
Parental Guidance? No father. needed a father figure. It is very important to have a father at home (imo). The presence of a father supresses the physical maturity of his daughters, merely his presence. Girls, scientifically proven (not checked but I know I think) develop physically much faster without a father. In my opinion many girls are way way physically mature before they are emotionally mature.
Girls are different to boys in this respect.
Not talking about anyone on particular but I have mis-spent a lot of time in pool clubs, since the age of 11, I mean I would know the owners their wives (one particular hot one, I am 12 made me be good at those question arcade games/general knowledge and made me like American Pie, the original tune). Anyways all the waifs and strays, blonde/brunette in boots that turned up on her own was without that family 'balance', see them all the time, since 11, I am 44. Vulnerable to men, all sorts of normal men.
Girls bodies change, they get looked at, if not responsibly and practically dressed, they will notice the different look men give them, some will be exploited because of this, some will use it to their advantage.
Example - Three blokes, an English an Albanian and me, in car, leafy environment, warm day, girls on side, one in shorts. From fifty yards, she had shapely limbs, easily 19, the English dude, the youngest of the three, shouts something as we pass near, we look back, she is 13/14, matey boy dies of embarrassment. But what affect on young girl?
