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.
We'd love to get conversation started. Join ushttps://twitter.com/YasMohammedxx/status/1130885840136052736 …

My relationship with my mom has worsened since i was enlightened about the horrible mindset behind quran and islam. She has shown her true color of being a true Muslim. We hate each other.

I'm sorry you have to go through that, I went through a bit of emotional blackmail myself with my mum, but I stood my ground. How was it for you?

I also remained firm and tried to convince that I'm still a human being who deserves freedom of thinking but no her stupidity has no match

I can relate to this. My mom always made me feel like I was an extension of her-I was obligated to live the life she wanted me to live. One day I yelled “I never asked you to get fucked by my father and have me!” That was the only time I ever saw her speechless

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.

You’re very lucky. Out of my whole family only one uncle (secretly) talks to me. I’m very lucky to have him and I love him so much for still loving me

I'm so sorry. I know it's hard. It took us the death of my niece, my brothers 4 year old to realise that more than anything. We need each other. And my extended family is so dramatic. But also because I've always been the golden child, I had some credibility of being responsible

Urgh don’t get me started on the emotional abuse of family members & their honour tactic games they play to try to manipulate us. I could write the book on it.
