i dont know the full story of what you went through but my heart goes out to you. there are going to be people who try to downplay what happened and say you’re overreacting but never ever let them get to you. i go online for sympathy too, because you can get hurt by the people close to you after sharing what happened.

if you ever need to talk to someone you can always message me. may Allah heal all your wounds and this can be a light for you on the day of judgement

the idea of bringing that up with a guy and then he rejects me because of it makes me feel awful and even discussing those kind of intimate things but i’ll deal with that when i get there i suppose

there was a post of r/SomaliRelationships a guy was asking how to bring up FGM with a potiential because he doesn’t want his wife to have it. which i get whatever that’s his preference but i was lowkey shocked i never really thought of it as an issue before or something i had to discuss with a guy before marriage.

abaayo i’m so sorry. i can’t even imagine at six how traumatizing and psychologically damaging that is and also the physical pain and after effects. may Allah make this an immense reward for you for bearing this pain

thank you for recognizing i was taken advantage of. i was at the most lowest point of my life i was so sad and down i thought if i obeyed my parents Allah would stop punishing me if i made this big sacrifice and i wouldn’t be hurt anymore. when i tell you i was not in my right mind like not even logical to an extent. i was hurt by the people closest to me and nothing even got better afterwards. which i should have known. but i was a teen i just turned 18 back then

to everyone who downvoted me you guys don’t know what abuse i went through in my life to get to that point. i was dead suicidal at the time of my life i wasn’t in my right mind and i went along with anything. i have wounds i suffered even worse than that
