Question:
Asalamu’ Alaykum.
I’m 40 and converted to Islam. I have no family instead my mother. I’m looking after her, helping her financially and therefore putting aside my personnal needs (not married, no children). Anyway, she’s become very agressiv these last months. She seeks struggle for hours, charges me from every pain and sorrow she suffers from. She always repeat that she hates me. And i’m staying quiet, trying to control my anger and prevent myself from fighting back – but my silence doesn’t seem to calm down these painfull situations. My tears are the only answer
What shall I do? abandon her? staying away? She’s my only family.. It is sometimes so hard that i wish to be dead! This relationship has caused me many health problems (Psoriasis, migrenas..). I’m really stuck but continue to pray Allah (swt) and make regular zikr. I implore your precious advices.
Your’s truly
