Parents’ Rights (ḥuqūq) In Islam
My parents recently divorced, and I feel stuck about what to do. I am 25 and currently living abroad. My relationship with my father has always been very difficult. I feel that he is controlling and toxic, and whenever we speak he often yells, and disrespects me. Because of this, I have started taking antidepressant medication, as the stress from these interactions has been affecting my mental health.
Recently we had a heated argument, and since then I have stopped speaking to him. To be honest, I do not want to see or talk to him now. He has enough money to support himself, so he is not financially dependent on me.
From an Islamic perspective, I am confused about my responsibilities. Am I religiously obligated to keep talking to him even if the relationship is harmful to my mental health? What should I do in this situation?
