My dad and brother are threathening to kill me
I am trying to find the right words to express how i feel… but what i am getting is my hands shaking while writing.
I grew up in an arab strict muslim community. They used to beat me a lot, whether i make a mistake or no… sometimes even without reason.
My brother used to push my head on the wall and beat me so bad just because he does not like what i wear or if i do not follow the rules he was imposing on me. My dad never made me feel he cares about me. The last incident made me hate him deeply… my phone rang, he took it from me and started shouting “who are you talking to??” He was shaming me, saying i will ruin their reputation. I pushed back and he brought a knife from the kitchen and started threatening me. He put me on the ground and started hitting me with his legs like i am nothing. Like an animal. I had no one to call. Nowhere to go.
They forced me to wear hijab. I wore it just to silence them, not because i wanted it.
I started learning English slowly with whatever i had. Then i started teaching toddlers in the house. I saved money, little by little, and i booked a ticket to Dubai and left in 2023.
I started working with very low pay just to survive. Then i found a slightly better job, but still i could not save anything. Maybe it is stupid, but i never had a life before… so i was trying to feel like a woman, even in small things.
Then one day my brother found my TikTok account. He called me, my dad was with him. They kept threatening me… telling me “stay there, we do not need shame, we will kill you.”
I tried to ignore it and continue working because i am waaaay far away. They are in another country and i am in Dubai. But then everything collapsed. The situation here got worse, my job got affected, and they made me sign 5 months unpaid leave and leave the accommodation also. This is all because of the war. When Iran attacked UAE , the hospitality feild got effected.
I felt paralyzed. Completely lost. I did not know where to go or how to survive. I tried to find another job, but all i get is rejection.
I feel so lonely in this big world. I feel like i am breaking a little more every single day.
Why am i alone? Why i do not have a family that loves me as who i am?
Was i born by mistake?
I am questioning everything but there are no answers. No one is answering.
I do not want anything big. I just want people to feel… even a little.
People here look down at you if you do not have power. They judge you based on what you wear, what position you have.
I did not choose this life. I did not choose to be in this position.
I am so scared. I do not what to do or where to go. My heart is beating so fast.
I do not want to go back. I can never live with them again.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Does anyone have a real answer?
