Assalamu Alaikum! So I don’t really know where to start but it’s my birthday today and I know that not a lot of Muslims like the idea of celebrating birthdays, but I had hoped that my friends and family would at least have said something. Anything to acknowledge that I was a year older.
My parents aren’t the lovey dovey type and I don’t thinks they’ve ever said the words “I love you” to me or to my siblings. My mum had offered to pay for some £11 earrings that I wanted but I know she didn’t really want to give me the money for them. And today my dad just handed me £10 and said in my language “here you go for today”.
I can’t but feeling hurt. I didn’t want anything special for my birthday, but a heartfelt card would have been enough. Just something more meaningful than having money thrown at me. Something to show that they cared.
How do I get over this feeling of being ungrateful? I know Alhamdulillah that Allah has granted me another year but I still can’t help feeling upset when I think about this.
I would be grateful for any advice in how to overcome these feelings, Jazakhallah Khair.
