Do parents' angry duas ever come true?
Assalamu Alaikum - I’ve heard people say don’t let your parents’ angry Dua go out, because it might be accepted. My mother is the type who, in her bursts of anger over the years, has said plenty of hurtful things to me. She even uses words like “la‘nat” as if cursing is casual. Sometimes I worry those duas actually come true, even when she’s speaking in a fit. That scares me - she tells me horrible things, like calling me “useless” when I try to help in the kitchen and claiming my husband and my mother‑in‑law will throw me out after marriage (guess my background lol). I usually try not to take it to heart and I make dua to Allah that I’ll prove her wrong. But I’m afraid her angry duas might be accepted. Once she said something like that on Jum‘ah, and you know how powerful duas at that time can feel. What can I do? She sometimes attacks me unprovoked, and then I get pulled into arguments which only makes things worse - it’s hard not to respond when those words are being thrown at you. I also worry that if I’m getting to know someone and she makes a bad dua, the relationship could break. I’ve actually seen some of her angry words come true before, and that unsettles me. I don’t even want to tell her about good events early on because you’re supposed to accept barakah and blessings from your parents, and I don’t want to risk her turning them into something negative. Any practical advice or duas I can make to protect myself and keep my heart at ease?
