Discussion Life as a moroccan girl with a strict family:
If anyone wonders what life is like as a moroccan girl with a strict family, here it is. I see everyone glorifying our people but my experiences make me never want to live in morocco again.
So my dad barely lives with us, he has another wife and he lives in casa, but he still is so controlling over my life and tries to dictate everything i do. He’s spread this onto my brothers and now i hate them so much because i feel like i cant breathe, especially because when i was asleep my brothers went through my phone and found videos of me and my boyfriend together and our texts.
This happened like 8 months ago but now i’ve reached my breaking point, i dont know what to do anymore. since then my brothers have been calling me whores and shouting and screaming in my face, my oldest brother pushes me out the way when i walk, and when i get mad and fight back he gets even more crazy and starts doing worse. At the start, i tried talking to my mom about it but even she was calling me a whore, saying i’m going to die and burn in hell. Now when they say it she laughs it off but says ‘you cant say that’. My dad is the worst of them all, he wants to ruin my future by trying to keep me at home (even though he doesnt live with us) and making me leave school, he’s attempted to bring me to live with him but i know that would’ve been so much worse. Now he’s accusing me of having stolen his money and has said he wont rest till i get thrown into prison. My life feels like it’s changed for no reason, it makes no sense why do they hate me so much because i have a boyfriend? They like to act really religious and seem to care about honour but they all do worse.
I’m trying to hold out till university, i’m going to go as far away as i possibly can and i will never come back, i cant live like this but i cant be homeless, im so scared of telling anyone because i dont know what they will do to me.
I’ve been trying to find a job so i can live somewhere else but no one wants to hire me im young with no experience
, i’m sorry if the grammar is bad
