Forced Prayer
#4
RE: Forced Prayer
Oh boy. Well, you have a few options open to you. It depends how you think they would pan out.

1) Ask awkward questions. Do lots of research beforehand, and present people at the mosque with questions they can't easily answer without looking foolish. This isn't hard since religion is ridiculous. Maybe they'll get too embarressed to keep bringing you.

2) Play along. Pretend you've "found religion" again. It will suck, but at least they will probably put less pressure on you. Fake it until you can leave home and become indepent, for a quiet life.

3) Warn your parents that they are damaging their relationship with you. The more they force you to do things while you're in their care, the less you are going to want to speak to them once you're independent. My parents abused their care of me, and now they are paying the price. I barely talk to them.

I wish I could offer more. It's horrible that parents are allowed to do this. Whatever happens, keep coming here to vent, and so we can support you.
