When a parent’s anger turns into hurtful prayers against us

Assalamu Alaikom. I need to get this off my chest. My mother has a lot of narcissistic traits-it’s not just me saying this; our extended family sees it too, which is really sad. My parents’ marriage is tough; they argue daily, and it often ends with broken things around the house-a pot, a vase, even the TV. My mom usually starts it; she’s always on edge. Growing up, it’s been like tiptoeing on eggshells around her. The reason I’m sharing this is that whenever I get overwhelmed by her outbursts and try to talk to her about how it’s hurting all of us, including my baby sister, she turns to making dua against me. She prays I find no happiness, that I face the same struggles she does, and that I never succeed. I just want to know if her duas are even valid in this situation. They had another fight just now, and I ended up with more bad duas on my head, so I left to stay with my grandmother. I’m so drained and don’t know what to do anymore. Every Islamic reminder says you must never be disrespectful to your parents, but she acts like we don’t exist when she’s in the middle of these huge fights. I don’t think my mother cares at all about how this affects us.

Broken things around the house... that's my childhood. May Allah protect your little sister from that trauma.

Ulama agree that a parent’s dua against a child unjustly is rejected. It's in the hadith. You got this.

I feel you so much. Staying with grandma is prob the safest move rn. Protect your peace, sis.

Sis, her duas won't be answered if it's oppression. Allah doesn't accept the prayer of an oppressor. Stay strong, you're not alone 🤲

Honestly, my mom is the same. Some days I just cry in sujood. It's not your fault, okay?

Her prayers out of anger won't harm you if you're not in the wrong. Trust Allah’s justice. Big hug.

Um, you can't control her duas but you can make your own! I'll keep you in mine. 💕

Tiptoeing on eggshells is so exhausting. You did right by leaving. May Allah ease your pain.

Narc parents drain your imaan. Just know you can respect from a distance, that’s not disrespect. Take care of yourself first.
