Abused in Your Home?

Abuse comes in different shapes and forms. They can come verbally, physically, financially and emotionally.

It is totally understandable when any abuse happens, you feel yourself like a child, crying, hiding, following the instructions and doing what you are being told to do.

However, you also are a grown-up adult. You are an independent person with separate thoughts, feelings, opinions, dreams and aspirations.

If it happens you find abuse happening inside your home whether towards you or any other person, don’t let it go or accept it. There are threshold boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed over.

This can be tricky for nice people who are used to pleasing and accommodating other people expectations. The problem with this is you confuse yourself between feeling sorry for the other person and holding on to your own sanity, safety, security and self.

I like this idea I learned about putting other people in a proper perspective. Others are like you. You are like others. All of us have got separate and individual needs, wants and preferences. And all of that need to be recognised and respected.

We all are equal. We all are the same. We all have got one God we worship. We all are going to die. If that is the case, they why fear others or worry what they think and feel?

Changing your perspective and checking in with yourself and your current needs and preferences can open up doors to life you never thought exist. Keep going and moving. Continue questioning. Challenge your thoughts and beliefs. And use the Holy Book of Quran throughout the process.
