Was anyone else neglected in every other area as a child except for when it came to islam? I was never taught to brush my teeth or how to clean myself properly. I wasn’t taught anything about periods or hygiene because my parents were too busy forcing me to read the quran and make my whole life about islam, what I could or couldn’t do, etc. My dad was really emotionally neglectful too & would shout and scream at me a lot of the time and because my mother was sick a majority of the time no one would intervene. He was really strict with clothes & my interests & would scream at me for being on my phone or reading or doing literally ANYTHING that wasn’t just reading the quran. He kicked off really bad if I said I didn’t want to wear the hijab or go to quran lessons. I don’t know if this is common for anyone else? I left the religion at 12 (I’m 22 now) and came out as bisexual but I think that’s when he stopped bothering altogether.
