I don't know what to write. It's embarrassing. I'm a girl from the South, I came to this life and the first thing I remember was my dad's irresponsibility. He likes to stay young, or as a matter of fact, a teenager. He hasn't left a girl he hasn't been with. Even alcohol is his close friend, always drink day and night.

ما عارفة شو إكتب. الموضوع بيحرجني. أنا بنت من جنوب لبنان، جيت على هالدني ووعيتها على بابا اللي ما عندو مسؤولية. بيحب يبقى صغير، أو بالأحرى مراهق. لم يترك امرأة إلا وعاشرها. وحتى الخمر صديقه، دائما يشرب ليل مع نهار.
وماما متحملة كل هذا الشي. كانت تؤمن للبيت كل شيء، يعني هيي كانت الرجال في هذا البيت، وإذا حاولت تحكي معه بخصوص المسؤولية أو إنو يهتم بالبيت، بيكون جوابه إنه يضربها.
لحد ما هلق وعيينا وبعد ٣٥ سنة من زواجهم، الحمدلله صار في مصاري (مال) معنا، قام أخذهم منا وصار يصرفهم على امرأة عاهرة بلا شرف، تركت ولادها، وإجت لعندنا على الجنوب. هيي من بلد عربي، لفت على بابا وهيي بعدها مزوجة، ولحد هلق ما زالت مزوجة. بس تزوجت بنفس الوقت بابا، يعني علاقة محرّمة، بس لما واجهنا كلنا بابا، "إنو كفى!" وصرخنا وهيك "إنو تعبنا من هيك مواضيع!" وإنو "كبرنا! فكر فينا شوي. ما بدنا تجرصنا (تحرجنا) أمام رجالنا تحتى يحترمونا" وما رد كمان إلا بنفس الجواب فكان الضرب
فأنا هلق ما عارفة شو أعمل. ملّينا أنا وماما واخواتي. خصوصي إنو إذا عرف معنا ١٠٠٠ ل.ل بالبيت ما بيتركها، بياخدها
ملاحظة: هيدي المرأة مزوجة وتحشش وتنام مع الرجال. يعني باختصار شديد، هيي بلا شرف

I don't know what to write. It's embarrassing. I'm a girl from the South, I came to this life and the first thing I remember was my dad's irresponsibility. He likes to stay young, or as a matter of fact, a teenager. He hasn't left a girl he hasn't been with. Even alcohol is his close friend, always drink day and night.
And mom is withstanding everything. She used to supply everything for the house, she was "the man" or the head of the household, and if she tried talking to him about responsibility or taking care of the house, his answer would be a beating.
Now that we're older, 35 years after their marriage, finally thank God we have money. So he took them from us and started spending them on a shameless slut, she left her kids and came to stay with us in the South. She's from an Arab country, she conned my dad whilst married herself, and married my dad at the same time: a forbidden relationship. And when we all faced my dad because "KAFA!" and we yelled that we're tired of such things and that we're "much older now" Think about us a little. We don't want to lose face in front of our husbands so that they would respect us. And his only reply was one and the same: beating.
So now I don't know what to do. Mom and my sisters and I are bored. Especially that if he knew that we have so much as one thou in the house, he doesn't leave it, he takes it.
Note: this woman is married and she gets high, and sleeps around.
Very briefly: shameless.
