    Dear vaishu:

    I wish this was  not your reality, your father hitting you with a steel hanger and kicking you, as well as verbally abusing you, and your mother being “super abusive”-

    How is your mother  being super abusive?

    I’m very sorry. I’ve been in and out of India my whole life, so I know what you’re talking about -although sadly, patriarchy and abuse is not limited to just Indian society!

    Do you have friends at school that you are close to? What about relatives? I know you might not want to tell them about the abuse, but would it be possible for you to spend more time with relatives and work and do activities at their house? Only so you’re not around your parents that much. What are your plans after graduation? Is there anything that you really want to do, and can you try to put your mind on that?

    I found a link for this organization- it’s in India- and I think they have a lot of counsellors you can talk to for free.

    Thanks a lot, Selkie

    I am planning to do a major in linguistics. Also, thank you so mich the link for the instagram feed. It is really inspirational. Also, I tried talkkng to my friends about it. All they can do is console me, right? They do their best for their part.

    Also, my relatives aren’t that close to me. So yeah. As of now, i just make sure i have minimum contact with my parents.

    I do some calligraphy in my free time. Again, I have to hide it from my parents.

    Once again,

    Really thanks for your concern.

    This made me smile.

    Dear Vaishu,

    I read your post and it saddened me. I grew up in India as well but was blessed with wonderful family. However I can understand your situation as it is a norm in some families in India. As much as it feels that this is a hard and difficult situation for you, you have to remember that you cannot let it shape the rest of your life. From your post, I can see that you are a very intelligent, smart and an enterprising young woman. Even though I don’t know you,  I can see that you are already a strong and an independent girl. Please don’t let these hardships shape the rest of your life. I really do hope you believe in God and the power of positive thoughts and the consequences of our past karmas. I am sending you blessings and positive energy beta. May God give you the strength to go thru this phase and hope a beautiful wonderful life is awaiting you as you grow older.

    Perhaps this can help you stay strong. It has helped me  a lot.

    Vaishu beta , if you know Hindi, please watch this video in it’s entirety. How you can develop ‘insulation’ against pain…this may help.  Stay strong and be good. God bless you??
