Leaving your home country and going to another country to which you are a complete stranger puts you at even greater control of your father than you are currently in.

It doesn’t matter how many friends of yours have your details. They will be thousands of miles away. Running away in a strange country is not only daunting but far more dangerous than in your own country where you speak the language and know the ins and outs of how things work.

Establish a relationship with the local masjid and have the Imam talk to your dad. If you’re not educated and do not have your own job and means to get your own money, you will be at the mercy of ill informed and illogical people.

The problem is that my dad does not believe in any of the local imams and he says, none of them know what they are talking about and they all just care for money ( because they run on donations so ask for charity) and also

At the moment, I had quite a large sum of money saved up and my dad would not give me hold of my account until I turned 18…so luckily I can more or less control my finances but he always comes to me for money and doesn’t ask me…he just goes…give me your card and pin and then takes the money. So now I am left with no savings apart from some that I managed to hide from him.

I’m worried that when I get a job, he will do the same with my salary.
I have been looking for job for over a year but have been un-successful so far.
