You're not alone, I'm trying to help my bestfriend, she's married, has a son with ex husband, recently married and pregnant with her new husband, grow up with an abusive parents & relatives, and wishing bad for her. stayin for the sake of her children & can't leave & go back to her family because it's gonna be worse and just judging her & hating her more. i want to have a place so she can come with me but says she can't, that's her life now, she stays like this, & i can't help her raise her children together it's not my life, my duty or anything like that What to do? Still searching The worse is her husband thinks it's her who need to go consult but he has no shame, no regret.., not thinking about healing himself & do smth now he just thinks that she accept it like this & in any case she has no choice because he's the man, he gives her permission to do, say, go, without that she can't

Mothers, if your children see you putting up with abuse, not only are your sons twice as likely to become abusers themselves but your daughters are a lot more likely to end up in abusive relationships just like you. Protect yourself for their sake if not your own.

[@SK-ns6sl]

@@humanityfirst1551 how? How can they stop the abuse? It's very easy to say it, but what steps should a wife take to stop it, don't you think she would have stopped it on day one if it was in her control. The answer to abuse is the wife telling her husband not to be rude, for example. If he doesn't listen, multiply this appoach by 20 years of marriage. During that time all the children have seen is their parents bickering and fighting and an unpleasant home environment. The wife standing up for her dignity hasn't done much for the family atmosphere here. As it is just a never ending cycle of back and forth bickering, raised voices, it doesn't do much for anyone. It's very easy to say it that the wife should stop it as if her telling her husband would make him stop like magic. Usually people who give such advice haven't been through such a situation or they just mean, get a divorce

[@breakofdawn44]

10 years ago i left my ex husband. We had been married 18 years and had 8 children together. By that point i had spent half my life with this man and suffered from his onslaught of mental, physical, and verbal abuse. I was alone in his country…cut off from family and friends back home. His family knew nothing until his dad saw him hit me in front of him. He’d beat me until I couldn’t walk, broke my arm and let me sit at home without getting it casted. When he did take me 3 days later, he said he was showing mercy on me. I was always told that if i wanted to leave, I’d never see my kids again. So i stayed quiet. Until he started trying to molest our 2nd daughter. My oldest helped pave the way to leave through her school counselor. We did leave, but the verbal attacks didn’t stop. He would be sweet and tried to use bribery to get me to come back, when that didn’t work, he would berate or accuse me and then threaten me. I learned to just ignore him. Eventually I got the divorce and custody. I had a long hard road to mental recovery. I still suffer from some self esteem issues but my new husband has been my rock every step of the way.

If their parents say, “No, what will people say?” and send them back to their abuser? We need to teach people what steps they should take to help themselves and each other.

My husband and I are practcing muslims. He came to my father first and we got married real Quick. He prayes He does a lot of volunteer fasting and majority of the time he spends in the mosque. I am covered, don't wear make up, pray and so on. Practicing hasn't changed in fact it got even better. But at some point there are people that are very toxic and abusive. Ma Sha Allah he does so much for the Deen and gains knowledge and everything but unfortunately he has no akhlaq. He fights over silly things. How I wash clothes, if I let lights stay on, how I separate trash and when I cook what stove top I'm using for different pots. He's very extreme when it comes to sustainability. He doesn't want me to waste energy. He doesn't like to buy meat either. It's suffocating. Of course getting green, being cautious of the environment and being sustainable is really important for us muslims. But when I do things wrong or refuse to accept certain things. We are getting Into a huge fight, to the point where it becomes hell to live with this person (astaghfirullah). He insults me, shouts and yells. Breaking things, slapping things out of my hands. He terrorizes me. No one wants this treatment. On top of that we are both still students at uni. He doesn't earn much and I'm getting financial help from government. I pay with that half of the rent and spent from it on clothing. He doesn't do that for me. My parents are supporting me in my driver license. He would never do that cause he consider it to be unnecessary. I was patient, enduring hjs behavior over 2 years. We fight way too often amd he gets abusive. Of course I'm not perfect and made mistakes as well and provoked him but nobody deserves to be treated like that because of silly silly things. I'm not happy with him, I got mentally ill. Recently I throw food away that didn't look good anymore. He got so furious getting the food out of the trash can, breaking it and shouts at me. Later I was angry provoked him till the point where he slapped me with pillows, throwing them in my face without stopping. He insulted me in the worst way possible. Lifting my cupboard throwing everything out of the bedroom and locked me out of it. From that point on I seek for divorce. That something like that happened is not the first time. In fact it's countless. My parents always picked me up and comforted me. They wanted me to divorce him, they are unhappy and also done psychological. He was also disrespectful towards my parents and they want to support me in getting divorce. Before we moved together it wasn't like that. Of course there were red flags and my parents warned me and didn't wanted me to marry him but they supported me cause they want me to be happy. I told them, the most important thing is that he's practicing muslim but having no Akhlaq turned out later when we moved together. There were signs before but I was blind! He had a problems with himself. I don't hate him, I'm not angry. I want him to be happy. Of course he regrets, he wants me back but we were there dozens of times before. Trying to solve our problems. Our parents were involved even sheikhs. We did so much to try to save the marriage. My father doesn't want to anymore, I don't want to anymore. All the hope for change and for him to get better is gone. Too much said but so less was done. Empty promises and compromises. May Allah ta3ala make us pious husband and wifes, ease our pain and show us the best possible solution out of this situation! You know I'm twenty two now. Alhamdulilah we haven't tried for kids before and that's a blessing alhamdulilah cause it makes divorce way easier and also finding another husband!

I always have felt guilty for even thinking of talking about my abuse to anyone. I think it was mainly because my parents made us not tell anyone what was going on inside the home. My father has always hated me for the most part and made no secret of it. I only gained respect from him when I started making an income and it was clear he only wanted a piece of it. As a young girl and teenager I always felt guilty around him for no reason and used to get beaten for really small things eg. using the microwave, singing, dancing, etc. those things don’t qualify for physical discipline or abuse however you want to call it. I have for the most part envied girls and women who have that trust of their father and can sit on their lap and hug them. It just seemed so alien to have a good relationship with him. There would go days, weeks and months without saying a word to him or him saying a word to me. My safety was to stay in my room and not come out to eat until he was asleep. Have spent a considerable amount of years trying to fill that void and resented both of my parents for their lies about me and for trying to brainwash my siblings against me. Since being married, my life has improved drastically where I don’t always encounter them and have learnt how to be respected. When I look back I wished that I had moved out earlier just to save my sanity, I really don’t know how I did it.

subhana allah, i married a girl with the same story as you. the only diffence is that she still was abusive against me after we married and i thought i could save her. she was kind but if we had a discussion she would get angry, and say bad words and somtimes be fysicaly. i talked a lot with her parents but they didnt do anything but say, yeah youre right she has no right to do that, but thats it. i just couldn't anymore and decided to divorce.

[@Haleema_21]

As a domestic abuse survivor I would say this topic should be discussed more n not brushed under the carpet, women shouldn't be told to save their marriage despite being abused in every way possible, khula is allowed in Islam n it's better to be divorced than dead, the feeling of being trapped and tortured every single day mentally and physically, the emotional and sexual abuse is just unexplainable, absolutely horrifying but its made me a stronger and wiser women alhamdulilah

[@rm7250]

I was in a emotional draining relationship pls make dua for me brothers and sisters use to go behind my back and speak to women and say it is my fault

[@rima5791]

wow. thank you very much for this video. it left me in tears. having witnessed many abusive relationships occur in the lives of my loved ones, your video reinforced that the abuse, and justification provided by abusers is not religious but tabooed in culture and that Allah, the most High, documents everything. i pray Allah swt guides those abusers who so confidently articulate their love for Islam publicly, but behind closed doors, are emotionally-driven, manipulative beings who so fiercely dominate the space they own and impose their distaste onto their wives, their friends and their children. abuse is thulm, oppression.

After few months of my marriage, I faced being abuses by my husband. Now coming up to 4 years of my marriage, it's normal for me now. He was so angry at me, he bit on my cheeks. I cried and I kept in silence because end of the day it's normal and the day I die I will be questioned on my patients level and to be honest I really want to go to Allah when Allah calls me.

However do not be silent about this issue, it can only have negative impact on you and your children if you have any. Please reach out to people you trust to help you. Abuse never gets better it only escalate to the point of no return! May you find peace. Ameen

[@SpeechlessRoid]

Years ago I commented that I was abused and few people still replying to my comment. Now my old man got kicked out by social service for domestic abuse and taken to court. You MUST always report abuse. I can feel the affect and still get nightmares. I practically left the religion by now. I felt like religion helped him hide behind the curtain for 7 years of harassment. But always speak out if you are experiencing any kind of domestic abuse. There are proper authorities that are there to help.

This lockdown has destroyed me because my narcissist parent is home 24/7 and I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells so as to not anger my parent. Even the smallest thing sets them off into an anger fit. I have major depression, possibly PTSD, severe anxiety and it's only getting worse. I've been isolated from society so I have no friends, just a mountain of mental health issues thats getting worse. My life isn't worth living anymore because I can't even get help as my parents won't allow it

My child and myself were abused. Even after leaving the abuser the years of abuse affected in such a way that I became bitter sad and abusive myself. Allah SWT saved me from that sinful depth of darkness and transgressions. I payed a heavy price and ask for forgiveness. Thank you for standing with us to fight abuse as in most cases abusers malign character and spread lies and prevent any support system to help. Along with it in laws family join in the abuse. It does take such a huge spiritual toll especially when abusers are apparently religious. May Allah SWT protect us all and our families. I am in search of mercy love and respect for past 25 years and so are my children. May Allah SWT grant it to us and everyone. Ameen.

[@ShinsekaiAcademy]

Men and Woman, Moms and Dads, if you think mental/emotional abuse doesn't exist, you are deluded, I can corner someone into suiciding with words only, I've mastered the art of emotional abuse because I understand how emotions work, I can observe people and understand their vulnerabilities, I can go as far as make the other person think they're crazy and drive them to the edge of madness, and in fact, If I did it, especially to highly sensitive people, it would feel so good too, better than ones who are patient and don't show how they're hurt. I am not saying I do this, but I am saying I am a person capable of this and this is very real and I noticed myself doing this subconsciously with my siblings before and pulled the brakes every time I noticed I was doing it, If your son, daughter, spouse or whomever they are tells you that they are being emotionally abused, know that they took a whole lot of time to think it through and fight in their mind to finally make up the courage to tell you about it and take it seriously, before its too late.

Thank you so much for having the courage to say "even" husbands get abused. Jazakallah khair. If only there was support for them just like there is for women.

[@emma647]

Shoaib Siddiqui- True but the difference is, men can usually defend themselves against any abuse whereas women being the weaker sex cannot, Men also are able to leave relationships financially, whereas women usually are dependent on their husbands so are trapped, women abusing their husband of course happens, but is unusual especially in the Muslim community, whereas the abuse of wives is widespread, all abuse is disgusting, but you can't compare the two..........

[@farahryne91]

Yes, there are a lot of men out there who are being abused. People say it's rare. These men are mostly silent maybe because of their kids and many women take full advantage of women's legal right and somehow manipulate the system. Because of the blackmail, some men endure everything and live their lives like that

I am sorry brother for the abuse you or the men from your family have suffered ..h Islam has in the Quran given an entire verse on how to deal with it directly you can go as far as to physically admonish her or leave The thing is there is no help for women either you are wrong about that ..if there is help them it's of no use we are always blamed

I never knew that emotional abuse of 4 years will lead to me depression. Bipolar syndrome. Each day I pray to take my pain away and bad memories away. I even don't like to look at his face sometimes. But my parents asked me to stay in this marriage as they cant show their face to society. I kind of mentally detached from everone around me. I stopped eating my tablets too. Even my own parents don't want me., then whom I have to take care of.

[@verakociraj]

Many cultures consider the emotional abuse as nothing. It's not a reason for a divorce. You should listen and obey your partner, but they don't understand that the other person is suffering and is losing himself. You shouldn't talk about that because they will call you stupid, and they will blame you. Like "what did you do that he or she is doing that to you?" We need to teach ourselves when to say "Enough is Enough"

Just one week to deliver my second baby, went to the park with in-laws and my 4 year old son wanted to set in the swing. My husband was busy flying his kite, out of no energy at this time I went and asked for his help. I told him I will hold on to his kite so he can help my child set in the swing so I can push him. I have no experience with kite and his kite went and stuck in a tree in less than a few seconds. He shouted at me in front of my in-laws, broke his kite accessories out of anger and humiliated me in front of everyone. At that time I asked Allah to save me and take my soul because it’s not his first time doing this, it’s been an ongoing circle for almost all my life in family gatherings. One way or another he always put me down in front of others. Even though that same day on the way in the car I begged him if something happenes that he doesn’t like or go against his wish I begged him not to shout, scream and humiliate me. I asked him for the sake of Allah have mercy on me at this time carrying our child and only one week to deliver. He has a perfect image to my family and all his family but he emotionally kills me all the time. Before having my kid I always thought and searched of ways to end my life but now that I have my son and another baby on the way I can’t think it leaving them behind so now I ask Allah to give me strength to live my life but I can not wait to go to my Allah 😔😭
