I am 18 years old now and as long as I can remember this has always been the case, my mother cries nearly everyday and it is very hard for me to endure, I have prayed to allaah as much as I can, I have cried to allaah. My mother on a few occasions had to pay off thousands of pounds of debt which my father had accumulated from borrowing money from the bank and friends and relatives. She has to clothe us, feed us and pay the bills while my father works and gambles away all the money. On the other hand my father works and earns but he does not spend on me and my sisters nor my mother, he does not pay any bills and my mother has to spend the benefits – which are given to her to spend on me and my sisiters- to pay off bills etc.
I am having great difficulty with my father, for years he has gambled away all his money and stole money from my mother, my mother has no income and the money she recieves is purely from benefits. Assalamu’alaikum, I was not sure if I could ask this sort of question on this website but I saw questions of similar nature here so I decided to ask anyway.
