How should I deal with my cruel, greedy, and unjust mother who abuses me by hitting, cursing, and invoking curses upon me, and with whom I hate living, knowing that she constantly curses me, is always angry with me, and hates everyone, given that I am divorced due to circumstances beyond my control? And will her anger and curses be answered? And should I give her gifts from my money?

Even if the mother is unjust, her right upon her children does not cease. Rather, it is obligatory to associate with her in kindness, and it is not permissible to mistreat her or supplicate against her, except for her guidance. It is advised to be patient with her and associate with her in kindness, and to advise her gently and politely. If she does not respond, one may seek the help of relatives or righteous people to advise her. Responding to evil with good brings affection. If the child fulfills his duties of righteousness and good companionship, then the mother's anger or supplication against him will not harm him, as long as it is without just cause.
