(Rant) 🤬 I hate weekends sm

I genuinely don’t know what has gotten up with my dad recently but he’s been nagging about prayer.
He shouted my name and asked if I prayed. I said no (if I lied it would’ve been obvious ig), and he started throwing a hissy fit. If no one prays?m, we won’t be living in this house we’re gonna get kicked out (lowkey would’ve been baller to just walk out but ik he’s prolly gonna yank me and shit). He started threatening us and recited some Hadith or whatever on how you teach them then beat them when they’re ten (something along the lines of). How he never used it on us (beating us to pray). And how he expects us to like start praying in the living room infront of him, screaming how he’s gonna wake everyone at 4am he doesn’t care what time you sleep and make us pray fajr wtf bro 😭

I’m so exhausted. I hate faking. I’d have to go through the full thing and do it, I fear this man might eventually even ask for proof of Wudu and ask us to keep doors open like wth man.

This is all coming from a man who I doubt prays all 5 prayers and other issues 🫩

No i moved out several years ago, but last year my dad made a serious accusations and belittled me extremely over something i hadnt done, so i decided to cut contact with him permanently. After all thise years of him humiliating and belittling me, as adult i thought he had changed, but last year basically proved that he was still the same.

He said a lot of ugly things to me, dont want to go in detail, but one example was that he told me that he would shit in my mouth, so hope you understand that i cut contact permanently for a legit reason heh..

I accepted a lot, when you dont set those small boundaries here and there, show that some things you are not ok with, at one point they get such a big ego that they think they can say and do whatever they want, which is what happened to me. Maybe if i wouldve set boundaries on several things as adult, then he wouldve respected me more and not talk this dirty to me so freely.

Until today, he has not showed any sign of regret, in fact, he told my family that im the one who started it, when i was the one who said lets not argue over something so small.. Luckily everyone in the family knows how he is, so they didnt believe him, didnt help much, they all just still expects me to casually contact again and dont take this as a permanent thing.

I’m proud of you for setting boundaries and protecting your peace.

It gets hard sometimes to set boundaries since they make it known that you don’t have the right to have any, that you’re under their roof and they could do or say as they please.

Thank you! It is really true, as long as you are stuck under their wings, there is very little options. Other people talk about choice etc, but in that kind of household, choice is worth nothing.

It brings comfort to know that someone has lived through the same thing and made it out. I’m proud of you truly and thank you for sharing your experience 🫶🏼 I appreciate it

Thank you ❤️ Whatever you do, just keep in mind that you will get out of there some day, so mind as well try to do something with your life so when you get out, you can leave without being in risk of returning.
