Manipulation
Growing up with abusive and narcissist father affected all aspects of my life. Despite the fact of trying to stay away from him, he doesn't leave me alone. Such fathers always try to get people against you. For me, he took my money, my gold and is keeping to harrass me in different ways. Once i had my own career, he tried to get me out of the house legally. The fact that the law is old and against women in general, beside that we are in a male dominanted society makes it harder and worst to live. It needs lot of strength and courage to face it. Everyone is capable to handle his life however this reality gives you alot of bad experiences that its hard to trust or believe anything.
Unfortunately the national women's council gave us no help when i went there, the maximum thing they were able to do was giving us a contact of a lawyer. Once that lawyer knew that my father is a lawyer as well, she refused to help us!
Many women here in Egypt have the same problems and its already normalized to be like that.
