I hate having Somali parents

Its the worst household and I wouldn’t even wish on my own enemies
I can’t do anything especially as a girl. im not allowed to wear what I want, I’m not allowed to sport, I am not allowed to hang out with friends, I’m not allowed to even have my phone in the holidays and sometimes im not allowed to even read a book? My mom married a bum who doesnt even care about his children(yep that’s my dad) and now she is a single mother who takes all her frustration out on her children. I really feel like I’m cursed. The worst thing is I can’t even move out because there is an extreme housing shortage where I live even if you have you’re degree it will be hard finding a house Especially one without riba. So I’m stuck and I dont know what to do anymore. I’m literally watching my youth slip away infront of me.

Oh ur not even allowed to hang out with friends or read a book? Thts so extreme. Are u a teen?? Whenever u save up enough money and become an adult just get an apartment and live ur life. Lots of girls do tht.

Have you tried having a conversation and telling her how you feel without maybe getting worked up. I don’t know how many siblings you have but it’s possible your mother is very overworked which is leading to some of what you’re experiencing. You can try to help your mother with some responsibilities and see if that gives you more freedom. Though it may not work

Move in with relatives or friends. Your parents being shit doesn’t really have anything to do with being Somali. This isn’t common.

Your parents suck as individuals. Just say that. “I hate having white parents” “I hate having black parents”… see how silly that sounds.

Are there older relatives or respected communitymembers you can reach out to that can speak to her about her parenting? I feel like parents like this already dont respect kids so talking to them about how their bizarre parenting makes u feel doesn’t matter, perhaps it’d be easier for another adult to speak some sense into them ❤️

im sorry for all of this sis it must be really hard on you. This is mostly an individual issue and is different for all families. My hooyo nor any hooyos i know arent like that

i think you should speak to a trusted family member that could perhaps talk to your mum. Or just take your freedom, she will get mad at first but then she will get over it
