(Continuation of Alex's childhood story)
As we all know, there are many ways of parenting.
1. Few parents are very strict and scare kids so much where they will not allow their children to share their feelings/opinions about anything. They always look for perfection in their kids. Hence, few kids won't tell any of their problems to their parents thinking that they will end up getting beatings.
2. Few parents are there, who will treat their kids as a friend. That's when kids will share everything with their parents without any hesitation. (Doesn't mean to encourage everything)
Daniel, Alex's dad. He was a very strict father. Alex was very scared of his dad. He never shares anything with his dad thinking that he will end up getting beatings. Daniel always expects perfection from Alex and Alen.
When Daniel took his kids back home, he plans to leave Bahrain and settle in Saudi. When he checked for the passports, he guessed that his wife (Ayesha) might have taken the passports with her. When Daniel called Ayesha regarding the same. She demanded Rs.10,000 for passports (Money minded women). Daniel disagreed and applied for new passports. Later, they moved to Saudi, and Alex got admission to a new school in Saudi. Daniel got a good job as well.
Daniel's co-worker (Sheik) used to take care of Alex and Alen. Sheik was showing a great interest in Alex. Everyday Sheik will drop him to school and pick him back. Again drop him to tuition and pick him up. However, they used to reach back home real late.
Sheik was taking Alex to his place where Sheik and his friend used to stay and they both molested (sexual abuse/rape) Alex. This was happening a few days a week. This continued till he turns 7 years old. They both sexually abused Alex for 2 years.
However, Daniel wasn't aware of this because Sheik had asked Alex not to tell his dad. Even Alex was so scared of his dad and didn't tell him anything, thinking that he will end up getting beatings and Alex took the pain all alone for 2 years.
Can you imagine, how that kid might have felt? No one is there for him to share his problems. If he tells this to his dad, he will get beatings. The person who he was so attached to was his "Mom". She wasn't there for him. Doesn't know what is Molestation, doesn't know what is Law. When he doesn't have his parents, what else this kid can do?
What happens after 2 years?

ReplyDeleteA good parenting can enrich and give focus to parents’ lives, generate stress or calm and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Very well said in the story. Upbringing plays an imperative role in their childhood.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think, he should tell his dad about everything he is been through. If his dad loves him and mature enough to handle the situation, possibly they will find the best possible way. His dad should start taking care of his son, he should love him and help him in this vulnerable stage.
Thanks a lot for taking time to comment. I would love to know the person's name who is supporting me.
