Whenever my father gets angry he shouts at my mother and stamps on her and keeps her under his foot like a doormat, even when it’s not her fault.
He says things like, “you go to the kitchen, you belong in the kitchen.”
He is always demeaning her with his words.
This is the malayali patriarchal behaviour I was talking about.
Just washing the dishes won’t do. He should change his behaviour too and wash his mouth with soap.
He should do something about his anger issues.
My mother quietly accepts the doormat treatment and self blames to make him comfortable.
Also, they keep bickering all the time.
My father stared at my body yesterday too. I don’t know how many times I have to repeat to stop till he actually stops.
My parents are never going to change. Period.
