“We are all here for you. We are a team and we support each other.”

“Salaam Walekum sister,

I know times like this may be really rough for you and I understand how it feels. For me, it was always with my mom, may Allah bless her. I would always get into fights with her (and it still get shaky sometimes even now) and I have slowly come to realize that a lot of it is just misunderstanding, which leads to more fights. Once you keep fighting, you lose that closeness with your parent and that is a really, really hard thing to face. As I’ve grown older (I am 28 now), I have learned to just stay quiet and let it blow over. Believe me, I know how hard it is to keep my mouth shut but really, there is no point in adding fuel to the fire. I know that my mom loves me a lot and a lot of it has been my fault. She wants me to be the best person she believes I can be and that is in ever aspect. It isn’t easy bit you have to hang in there. If something goes wrong and a fight is about to start, step away and pray or find something else that gives you peace of mind. I’ve seen that a lot of times, just taking a deep breath or two really helps.

Find your peace. Try your best not to talk back. You’ll be okay. I promise. And believe me, not all of it is your fault. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

We are all here for you. Don’t make this your last resort. We are a team and we support each other. We support you.

May the rest of this month of Ramadan go well for you and your family. Don’t hesitate to come on here and even vent if need be. We’re listening.

Take care.”
