Literally nothing in my life makes sense and there’s no escape from it. Even when I try to put my head down and ignore everything.
#my mom just told me to start going by a different last name to get a job#like it’s easy for her she’s never had a multipart religiously Muslim Arabic last name#but decided to make#all her kids have solidly Muslim Arabic names#and now because I guess she feels the effects I can just change it#????? what#she heard how horribly I was bullied daily thoughout elementary middle and high school and forced me in hijab through it all#I’m so angry at her I’m so done with all of this#she knows I plan on changing my name anyway but like.#am I just supposed to ignore the culture I was raised in???? BY HER nonetheless#i get it. i get it she never knew what she wanted to be but all she knew is she wanted to be special or stand out SLIGHTLY#she was fine with all her kids being violently harassed#and just didn’t give a singular fuck#but now this and some other things….it’s hard to deal with#my identity issues come from her just doing whatever it takes to stand out a bit while being a tyrant#while me/my brother/my sister actually tried being good Muslims.
