Hey #ExMuslim ladies.
Can you share your stories with @YasMohammedxx
About your relationship with your mum since dissent.
A mother daughter bond is meant to be so unique, but so often has been tarnished by religious values.

My mum always said "yes you know more than me" whenever I said something smart. Because I do know more than her. Or something like "I had you in my tummy for 9 months and fed you and changes your diapers and now you've just stopped believing" she felt betrayed.
Yes, but that the thing. We’re *not* extensions of them. We are full independent human beings w our own minds in our own bodies. That’s a fact that eludes them.

I’m so averse to this mindset now that if my daughters ask me about something, I give my opinion but quickly add ‘but it’s your life, not mine, so do what feels right to you’ and then I genuinely support them no matter what they choose.

I know right. My family is slowly learning that concept. My dad got my sister a tattoo because she really wanted one. And my family is wake up for fajr Religious. So they're making an effort to appreciate individualism. It's hard but they're making an effort.
