I grew up in a very strict/toxic Muslim household until i ran away at 19 AMA

r/

for some more context: Im currently 21 years old, no contact with any of my parents even tho i keep being in touch with my sister and brother. I had to run away from my house because my dad forced me to got marry to a stranger while i was 19.
My dad made me pray 5 prayers a day since the age of 4. They forcefully bought a hijab for me when i was only 6 and made me wear it till i was 19. My parents both made me quit school etc.

    Your story is similar to mine but I’m unfortunately not in contact with my two brothers. My parents wanted me to marry after I finish my university studies.

    What was the final straw that made you decide to run away? How did you get by? Did you have any help? How is life now?

    What resources, if any, did you have when you ran away?

    I know you’ve had a shit time but at least you’ve been able to run away. Would have been a nightmare doing that in Pakistan

    Are you an atheist now? Have you considered other faiths, such as Christianity?

    First of all, I’m sorry you had to go through that. I wish you the best of luck. Coming to my question: Had you thought about running away before or did it happen instantaneously?

    All religions are made up, worse when they’re being used to decapitate innocent children while claiming other’s land, such as r/israelcrimes
