When parents become dependent on their children…
This is not a story, this is the bitter reality of our society -
Recently, I met a mother... Time lines on her face and a strange fear in her tone
In the midst of her conversation, she said a sentence that hit me like an arrow in the heart...
“Now we are dependent on our children... We eat their earnings... We are afraid that if we say something, they will not stop spending…”
This was not just a sentence -
It was a whole lot of sorrow
It was the reward of a lifetime of hard work
It was a voice of helplessness
These are the same parents...
Who once stood as a shield for their children
Who sacrificed their sleep
Erase their desires
Dedicate their happiness to their children
Just so that their children could live a better life...
But! Today, the same parents have become a picture of need and silence in front of their own children.
*The sad thing is not that the children are paying the expenses.
The sad thing is that in exchange for expenses, parents also pledge their language, their honor and their rights.
Parents no longer even mention their needs…
*They remain silent even when the medicine runs out.
They remain silent even when the clothes are worn out.
*They do not say anything just so that they are not considered a burden…
What kind of relationship is this left?
Where love has been replaced by calculation and respect has been replaced by fear…
Children must understand this…
Parents never ask, they only wait…
The attention of their children
Their feelings
Their loving question
If parents start to fear their own children…
Then this is not just a tragedy of one family, but of the entire society -
Today we must ask ourselves!
Do our parents also hesitate to say something to us?
Are they also silent for their rights?
If the answer is “yes”… then stop.
Think.. change
Because time passes…
But regret remains -
Remember:
Parents do not just want expenses… they want feelings
And the children who give this feeling…
That is the real success.
May Allah make us those who value our parents, those who take care of them
those who give peace to their hearts - Amen
