Is it normal that i wish to leave my family forever?

I'm an ex-muslim girl living with a strict muslim parents. They force me to cover and wear the Islamic hijab although I don't like it and I really want to take it off. They never let me go out, they don't let me have friends therefore most of the time I'm alone at my room. They don't even let me close my room's door for more than 5 min. I feel like I'm living in a prison and what hurt me more is that my brother has freedom they let him do whatever he wants. It's only me that have to be isolated just because I'm a female. I got sick of living like this. I just want to leave them and start a new life.

    I believe Nike had this one covered, "Just do it!"

    Coming from a western country I just have no concept of that kind of subjugation. Im sorry you grew up that way, if youre not happy living like this Id suggest getting a job and saving as much money as you can and moving out. Or moving in with a friend if you have any...if not there are womens shelters you can stay in until you can be on your own. It wont be easy. Good luck to you.

    Even though they are family, you didn't choose to start with them. However, you have the choice to leave. Just because you are a female doesn't mean they have the right to shut you in and keep you under surveillance like that.

  • I recommend to leave and not look back.
