Re: Dad chooses extended family…
Im 25, the kids are 11, 10 and 9.
because my dad is all about religion, he would never speak to me again if I went against this.
However, his brother eats none halal meat, had the kids outside wed lock, did a registry and not a nikkah. The kids eat non halal meat etc.
however my dad treats them better than he does to me and puts them first.
e.g. He goes to their birthday parties and when I wanted to go out for mine, which I was paying for, his brother rang to say he was coming so my dad chose to stay and wait for him and the kids.
it does bother me that they are out of wedlock because I dont have much family and it’d be nice to have Muslim cousins who are into the culture too but it’s not my life.
He doesn’t ask me these things because he’s not bothered. He’s never even said please or thank you to me. He’s never even asked me if I’m ok.
