“Instead of hating on them…THANK them.”

Are you from Pakistani/Indian subcontinent? Because I tell ya- those brown parents take some sort of secret courses to be their own child’s best critics. You know what though? Instead of hating on them…THANK them. They are preparing you for the world (and they may not even know it). Yes, parents should be a source of comfort and confidence- but when yours are not doing that for you, you can either sit and cry about it feeling awful forever or do the following two things 1) Remind yourself to be so much better to your own children 2) Work faster and better to make something of yourself to prove them wrong and enjoy your life as an adult.
Parents from the older generation maybe suffering from diseases such as depression and anxiety and they don’t even know about it. So find it in your heart to realize, for a parent to be so harsh on their own child- they must be going through a mental struggle and forgive them.
It’s easier said than done, but find peace in knowing that they have already broken you and now you will build yourself. Find peace in knowing that many other children suffer physical abuse from their parents and still manage to survive their life. Find peace in knowing that maybe your parents ARE your test and this patience is exactly what will give you your place in Jannah
