[quote=Anonymous]New Poster with a  European mom and Middle Eastern dad. Both were educated but mom had a PHD and came from a  rich family. She made the rules and everyone else had to follow. She did not want to have me/ wanted to have an abortion but no one aborted in the Middle East  back then.
I do not have any good  memory of her. She has never kissed me or hugged me. My brothers are 10 and 11 years younger and she treated them totally differently.
From a very young age, I could do nothing right. When I came from school I wanted to practice my piano (lower elementary) but she would tell me to do my homework first. She did not care that I needed sunlight to see the notes well. If she caught me practicing, she would bang the piano cover hurting my hands so that I would stop practicing. My dad always told me never to question her and I  could do it my way when she was away.
Every time my dad came home from his travels, my mom would cry and cry, complain about me and tell my dad to punish me. He would hit me until I would start bleeding. Then he would come and apologize and beg me not to get her mad.
He was a successful businessman but could not stand up to her. In fact he worshiped her (still does) and thought she could do no wrong (still does). Had I been in the USA or Europe, I would  have gone to a foster care. But in the Middle East, those things do not exist. I have not seen them for 15 years now.
  I  also married a man who is like her -- very charming on the outside, totally manipulative and overly controlling in reality. I thought things would be different here in the USA but they are not. Husband has diplomatic immunity and is calling all the shots knowing that he is except from abiding to US rules and regulations.
I wish I could just leave but my child has only US nationality and I do not want to leave him alone.
I do not know what I have done to deserve this type of life.[/quote]
