Dealing With Emotionally Abusive Parent
Please read my reply again I didn’t say you try and change your father but change yourself only So u want to work on your career and chase your goals and that’s why you have limited yourself to talk with your family only when necessary Would you be ok with the above if your father adopted similar attitude when you were young? The bottom line is that we all have our share of responsibilities, obligations and rights. We can not ask for our rights unless we fulfill our obligations. Islam can not help you here. Allah commanded us to treat our parents with love, care and compassion. It’s upto us to decide how, why and when and upto what extent we should do it. You will not find a fine tuned personally tailored plan for yourself. It’s for you to decide. Your obligation and responsibility is to be the best son you possibly can in your own circumstances. Anybody can be nice if the other person is good and that’s not an achievement at all. At the end of the day you are responsible for your actions alone and not your father’s
