My heart really goes out to everyone who’s suffered parental abuse, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The stories I’ve come across today are so gut-wrenching. I hope you all find comfort and healing ❤️
Everyone says a parent’s love is unconditional but I think it’s the other way round. A child’s love for their parent is actually the unconditional one. As a child, you can never have another parent, but your parents can definitely have other children.
Everyone keeps talking about “giving grace to your parents” but you hardly hear them say give grace to your children. It’s embedded in our culture and religion. That is why we have so many parents repeating the cycle because they know the society will always back them up.
So many people in the replies talking about how they used to fantasize about dying by the hands of their parents when they were children, just so their parents would feel just a little bit of guilt
Yet people still think beating children is just discipline and not abuse.
Bruh, my mom beat me so much one morning in 2018.
She sat on my stomach and strangled me with a studded belt. Then proceeded to kick my budding breasts, I didn't scream.
I just laid there hoping she kills me.
All because I gave my uthaz a cold fanta she had her eyes on.
One of the most horrifying and brutal scenes ever captured on camera in modern history.
Israeli soldiers opened fire on thousands of starving Palestinians in Gaza as they ran in desperation trying to get a piece of food during the war on Gaza.
A moment the world must never forget.
Seeing footage of Palestinians in Gaza, watching the World Cup and cheering on Muslim/Arab teams - it’s hard not to feel something in your throat. Abandoned by almost all of their Arab & Muslim brothers, so many still wave their flags in love and solidarity.
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
