HOW FAR OUR PARENTS CAN GO (PART 4 — THE CONCLUSION) 😂😂
According to her, the slap took her by surprise and caused her to stagger backwards.
Her father, having seen the reaction she gave, burst into laughter and told her that since beating, including hot slaps that could give someone a black eye, was a love language, she was welcome on board to enjoy more of it.
In her words:
“My sister, I thought it was a prank because I cannot remember the last time my father laid his hands on me, except that day.
“Like play, like play, my mother gave me a warm hug and welcomed me inside. Just as I was about to settle down, she gave me an *abara* that clapped like thunder!
“I didn't know when I started crying. No wailing ooo! I cried like someone who had just lost a loved one.
“My parents asked why I was crying in unison, and my dad said he was very sorry for love-starving me all the years I spent with them. He never knew beating was a love language I understood so well.
“In the light of this discovery, the whole family had reached an agreement to show me love to the fullest.
“Me wey my body don sore from multiple beatings from my husband man, I knelt down and started begging profusely, yelling at the top of my voice that I was very sorry if I had ever given them the impression that I loved being beaten.
“I told them I would agree to any condition they gave me, as long as they would return to the status quo of loving and treating me like the princess that I am.
“My father pulled me up from where I was and explained that I was the one who made them come up with the plan because I was proving to be unreasonably stubborn and stupid.
“My sister, that was how my parents swung into action. They sent her uncles to pack everything she owned from her husband's apartment, facilitated her divorce, and made sure she was surrounded by the best people.
“She said she eventually went for therapy, but this time, as a divorcee who was ready to explore more beautiful options.
“In her words, she is now happily married to a widower, and she is experiencing bliss in her marriage.
“She said she usually bursts into another round of laughter whenever she remembers the incidents surrounding her first marriage and how far her parents went just to bring her out of the mess called marriage.”
My people, make una talk true. 😂😂
Who else believes that sometimes, parents can go to extraordinary lengths to rescue their children from situations they cannot see clearly for themselves?
And before someone will say the parents were too dramatic, remember that sometimes, when someone is trapped in an abusive relationship, ordinary advice may not be enough to help them see the danger they are in.
Sometimes, love has to be firm, intentional, and courageous.
But one thing remains clear: BEATING IS NOT A LOVE LANGUAGE! No matter how we package it, abuse is abuse.
May Allah protect our homes, grant peace to those going through difficult marriages, and give everyone the wisdom and courage to make the right decisions. Ameen. 🤲
And to every parent, may Allah give us the wisdom to raise children who know their worth, recognise genuine love, and never mistake abuse for affection. Ameen.
THE END.
