Sharing Hardships in a Muslim's Healing Journey

Assalamu alaikum, I've been wondering, is it haram to talk about the mistreatment I went through from my family when I'm in therapy? Like, would that be considered exposing their sins? My folks aren't evil, they just struggle with their own mental health and end up making poor choices. I forgive them for everything, even if they never asked for forgiveness, because I get that they probably didn't realize it was wrong-they went through similar stuff themselves.

This hit home. I carried so much guilt for sharing in therapy, but a scholar told me seeking help isn't gheebah when necessary.

Forgiving them is beautiful, but your pain is valid. There's a difference between exposing sins and processing trauma. Sending duas.

Wa alaikum assalam. Therapy is meant for healing, not backbiting. As long as you're not slandering them with ill intent, it's okay.
