    Guess that's the benefit of having a mother raised/from the same country you are. My mother came from the school of parenting that taught her adults shouldn't ever take part in children's games so she left us alone whenever we played.
    "so now, if you leave (Allahu A?lam is you already have) what will u do??? go out and show ur body to all the men??? sleep with countless men?? maashaAllah if you think think this is freedom or womens right then may Allah guide you to that which is correct."

    Look at it this way. You now know how to be the perfect parent. Whatever they did, do the opposite. That's how I get over it.

    That's if I have kids.  Wink

    I shit on my parents too much, though. They're great. We just come from two different cultural upbringings and they didn't expect me to identify with Western culture as much as I do. We just have a lot of misunderstandings.

    But I don't want to highjack movingfeet's thread so I'll shut up. whistling2

    Because, as a battered spouse, reading about the effects of battering from the point of view of older children, and their reactions to it, confirms my choice to leave the situation and safeguard my children from it.
    The fact that it is remembered, in detail, is telling, too.
    My children remember standing in between victim and perpetrator, as well, and they were toddlers. They still ask me how I felt at the time, they truly do not know, from my reactions then. Now they request consistency in my responses, that it is wrong to hit people, that being hit makes you feel sad. 
    You understand, I am sure, what internal cultural issues I am dealing with, that turn inside out the concepts of right and wrong, in regards to women and children under Shariah. It is better, but it is not gone. I still argue with myself.
    I am appreciative of any support I get from outside sources, to aid in bolstering the right side, the common sense, in that internal argument.
    I win, you know, every time. Or I would not be here. One day I will not have to argue against any past remnant at all anymore. That will be a nice day.

    One day, I hope that happens too. It is good to hear that you took that from it and use it that way. Makes me happy to hear.

    Our batterer also could not tolerate laughter. Buzzkill was an art, for him. It is a personality type, I believe.

    Good choice Yeezevee. Living in the past negates your present and disallows your future.
