A lonely young girl growing up in Riyadh finds solace in imagining a romance with a fictional princess
Baba’s name was Mohammed Ali, and Mama’s was Sadiqa. I got used to our peculiar life in Riyadh. It wasn’t like anyone else’s; we weren’t like anyone else. Our apartment had just two rooms, without even a formal sitting room; the outer door opened onto the room that was my playroom and Mama’s cooking space, our dining room and bathroom, and the second door in the inner wall led to our bedroom and TV and the legless plastic wardrobes with their cloth covers that zipped closed. This was what people found if they got lost and came knocking on our door: me and Mama, in the very heart of our daily life.

Lost in a world of comparison
Your unhappiness comes from not being satisfied with your state and always comparing yourself with the people around you. This is most obvious from the child, no child likes to be compared with the people around them by their parents, but always can not avoid it, parents use to do a comparison to show off, one is to urge the child's motivation, but this way there is no way to let the child focus on the things that should be put, his attention at this time on the "comparison The child's attention is on the "comparison" thing. And this comparison is for the child, but the child experienced a lot of bad emotions, inferiority, disdain, jealousy, hatred, disgust, etc., and very few people can go from the comparison to positive progress. Because in the process of comparison, the focus is on how to be better than each other, how to be better than each other, rather than what they need to do. This is a game process, not a process of growth.

Where does a sense of self-worth come from?

I feel like I have a mental illness!
Psychology, a seemingly esoteric subject, an inner secret that some people would never come up with in their lives, was pushed to the forefront by the tide of the times, who had ever thought that there was such a concept as mental illness and that psychological problems were worthy of being explored. But as people's level of consciousness continues to develop, people are becoming aware of this discipline, people are becoming aware that there is something wrong with them, and people are becoming aware of how to grow up better, how to educate their children better, how to be happy in their relationships, and how to keep their children from being affected by their families of origin.

Talking about psychological counseling
1. Whether psychological counseling is effective No one can guarantee it, just like when you go to the hospital and ask the doctor, "Can you cure me of this disease? No doctor dares to give you a definite answer. The same goes for counselors, who dare not give you a guarantee that it will work and what effect it will have.

Quotes of Dad
Dad was born in 1933, in Pittsburgh, the surviving twin of a single parent, his twin having died at birth, making him a survivor right from the start. His mother had left Canada to escape the shame of pregnancy out of wedlock. The world was in depression and times were tough. She found work as live-in cook for a millionaire widow. Her life, never easy, was made harder by the fact that she was largely deaf, depending on hearing aids at a time when that technology was little better than sticking an “ear-trumpet” in one’s ear. She had coiled wires hanging out of her ears leading to a sizable battery box and can remember how those cumbersome hearing aids would sometimes spontaneously erupt, producing a loud, piercing squeal, which would illicit a hard involuntary hand-slap to that ear. Her son was raised in a succession of Catholic boarding homes, essentially orphanages. Not an easy start, and one he would never elaborate on, even when pressed.
