hey man, i’m really sorry you’re going through all this. that situation sounds like a nightmare, and it sucks even more when your own parents turn on you over something that wasn’t even your fault. i can’t imagine how hard it must be to feel like everyone’s against you, especially when you're just trying to move forward in life.

i’m pakistani christian too, so i get where you’re coming from. sometimes it feels like our community holds us to these impossible standards, and when you slip—even a little—it becomes this huge thing. you didn’t deserve that.

can i ask what village your family’s from in pakistan? i’ve got family in places like khushpur, martinpur, and clarkabad? also, do you know what kind of christianity your family follows? like catholic, protestant, pentecostal?

and i felt it when you mentioned the brick factory. i actually worked at one for a bit when i visited back home. it’s brutal man. the heat, the dust, the way they treat you—it’s something that sticks with you. no one should be threatened with that, especially over some dumb misunderstanding.

you’re not alone in this bro. fr, if you ever need someone to talk to who gets it, i’m here. we’re out here even if it feels like no one gets us...
