then she switched careers to become a hair removal technician when we arrived in Egypt. My father is a Doctor of Physical Medicine and rehabilitation
and till now he is in the same field. After coming back from Saudi Arabia to Egypt
my mother and father shared a clinic
part of it a beauty center and the other part is a clinic for my father’s field of physical medicine practice. When we arrived in Egypt
we went through some hard times till they both could run their own business
but it did not take that long
and they did their best to not let us feel the financial stress. They tried to make the business grow fast by spending much time working
and during that time
they were absent from home most of the time. They were trying to get better financially
and they did not care at all about having a good and healthy relationship with each other
and it was not easy to express our thoughts or emotions. Thus
they were emotionally absent
and my mother was trying to control everything all the time
even our emotions. Furthermore
I grew up seeing my parent’s complicated relationship
they had conflicts
and my mother complained most of the time.
