My father is gonna drive me insane
OP - June 23, 2017, 02:52 AM

Being an ex Muslim in a Muslim country in a family like mine is driving me insane. I have a very hypocritical father and even mother. She supports all he does and says I am an adult he won't let me work, go out, marry who I want, dress how I want, all he lets me do and already thinks is too much is let me go to my university in which he controls my schedule. After I am done he wants me to work for him and marry whoever he chooses. I don't know what to do with myself and I come from a family with quite the physical and emotional abuse and with all this on top of that I am gonna lose my mind. And my mother thinks I am a disgrace and a whore for wanting to marry who I want and work and lead my own life. I don't know what to do and I can't leave the country. There is a lot more detail to this health and abuse wise also but it's all making me very suicidal. And they keep saying if I pray to god I will be happy how is that gonna work ?? I know what I want and I am being forced to not have it praying won't fix it. I don't want my parents in my life I live with horrible father and a mother who's sexist to her own gender and her own self and daughter what should I do ? I want people to give me advice or opinions I can't handle this.

Sister, I am telling you to get out and go where you have human rights. Come home. You are perfectly capable of surviving on your own in the US. You are an adult, and you ought to be able to live like one. It is completely understandable that you are feeling like this, but you can fix it. You don't have to stay there. I have sent you some contact info in your inbox, the organization is very reputable and I would encourage you to talk things over with them. Probably no one knows their stuff better than they do.

Don't let Hitler have the street.
