Question Hello,
I am a 16yrs old grade 12 student turning 17 in December this year. My mother is a Polish Catholic who is very outgoing, kind, etc. My father on the other hand, is a prick. He's a strict Afghan-muslim who prays more than 5 times a day. They fight daily, my mom feels as if he is psycologically abusing my smaller sister and I as well as her self for the longest time. He's very controlling, manipulative, and has a bad temper. He is keeping secret from my mom that I am muslim, because my mom and him promised not to talk about religion till my sister and I grew up to be adults. So, in his eyes i am muslim and I pray a couple of times a day. I actually told my mom this and she teaches me her religion and we keep this a secret from my father. I couldn't care less about religion. He is driving my life insane. I have to lie about everything I do. He has no clue that I have a boyfriend, that I go to parties, and what not. I lie about everything I do, but i tell my mom, that when im not at the library that Im actually with friends. But now, I really can't go out, its so hard for me. Be home for 7pm, grounded eternally for talking back. He's constantly in my face, doesn't ever leave me alone, he's miserable that his life sucks, and my mom has no life. My dad thinks my mom family is worthless and im forbidden to see them, also because of their religion. My mom keeps saying once my sister is done highschool (shes in gr10 currently) then she will divorce him. I want to leave the house so badly, i hardly show him any respect. I feel bad, but he won't ever change, i cant talk to him, power and control is like his unchangeable entity. I lie so much that I don't know who I am at home. And it sucks because this is my family. My mom knows who i am and what i do, but shes now being so complacent because she doesnt want to fight anymore. We constantly fight, and my mom keeps saying just wait til uni. I WANT TO HAVE A LIFE TOO! i want to enjoy my last year! what do i do?!
Answer Hi,
Can I ask your country/state? Ok religious questions, I feel may be better with a coworker of mine. Can I recommend a rabbi? Because I want you to get information from another religious expert. Please ask follow ups and I'll give you their contact information.
If there is abuse in the family you need to report this
