Ok lets start out with a few basics. I've been muslim since9/18/09(I'll let you do the math depending on when you read this). I'm a single mother andI have a young daughter I working with at home/ homeschooling(she is going to a preschool in the fall and I'm still going to homeschool her when it comes to islam and arabic). and the third thing is I live with my verry strict christian parents.
Ok now the needing options part. it's about hijab. We are constantly at odds over me wearing it, and the only time I can leave the house with it on is when I'm going to friday prayer. I have a half a dozen scarves in my car I slip on when they aren't looking/whyle I'm driving(aka at the stop signs and red lights) but we seriously fight if I try to put one on before I leave the house, let alone wear one when we leave together as a family.:angryblue: I live with my parents because I can't afford to move out and they are willing to watch my daughter when I work.
basically the question is should I go against my parents and risk them kicking my daughter and I out, or keep doing what I have been doing and wait until I actually do move out on my own to be able to support the two of us.
Also, every sunday they basically wake us up so all 4 of us(my mom, dad, my daughter and I) can go to their church. "I just don't want to go", and "it's not my religion" are not good enough answers and I'm running low on excuses for not going. :angryblue:
any help or words of encouragement will help a great deal. thanks in advance
