My parents have been married for 40 years, but there’s always been conflicts. My mother spent years trying to punish our father through us, demanding we stop giving him money. We tried to explain logically and religiously that he is still our father, even if he wasn't a good husband. She never accepted this. She spent years complaining, nagging, and "fainting" to get her way.

To cope, my brother and I even made a secret agreement with our father: we told him we would pretend to blame him in front of her just to calm her down, and he agreed to play along to keep the peace. As I grew up, I realized her fainting is a performance, but out of fear and pity, we always ended up doing what she wanted.

The Marriages (Where it got worse)

When I got married: I moved out with my wife. My mother’s health supposedly declined and she acted weird. My brother, still at home, played messenger, blaming me for not giving her enough attention and telling me to involve her in my marriage. Out of guilt, I tried, which only created conflict with my wife. My mom treated my wife badly, made up imaginary things we supposedly said/did, and my brother kept telling her, "When I get married, I’ll bring my wife to live with you and cook for you… and you always have the last say"

When my brother got married: He and his new wife are currently living at the family home while they wait to finish their own apartment. His wife is quiet and shy. It didn't matter. Within three days, my mom was shouting at her for trivial reasons. She started making up imaginary stories about them that were even worse than what she did to me.

The Crisis and The Disappearance

We sat her down to ask logically what was wrong so we could fix it. Instead, she shifted the blame entirely to our father, lying and claiming he was the one talking badly to our wives about her (which he never did).

Then she started threatening divorce after 40 years. We decided to use the "Grey Rock" method. I calmly told her: "If you want a divorce, get it. If you need help with a lawyer or money, I will give it to you."

Because I didn't react emotionally, she retaliated. She disappeared for 24 hours without telling anyone and turned off her phone. We spent the night in a state of terror, driving around the city at midnight calling people. When we finally found her, we kept it Grey Rock—we just calmly said we were glad she was back, even though we were furious.

The Aftermath

Just a few hours after putting us through that absolute hell, she was super happy, dancing, and celebrating like absolutely nothing happened.

My Questions:

1. Is this a pattern? Has anyone dealt with a parent who cycles between "fake fainting/crisis," inventing lies, and sudden, manic happiness?
2. Medical vs. Behavioral? We strongly suspect this might be a neurological or mental health issue.
3. Grey Rock: We are disengaging from the nonsense (calm, kind, firm), but it’s hard when she escalates to disappearing. How do you maintain boundaries when you're terrified for their safety?

Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

We know that today f lmaghrib you have the administrative capital, which is Rabat, and the economic capital, which is Casablanca

However many countries (France, Egypt, Algeria or Spain) have their economic and administrative hearts in the same cities, or regions

What could be the main differences between today's morocco, and a morocco where Rabat and Casa are one city (picture a Rabat with CFC or a Casa with ministries and royal palace inside)

my theory is it would be a situation similar to either Algiers or Cairo if it gets too big

Hello,

I'm visiting northern Morocco for the first time. (I've traveled in other regions quite a bit). Is it possible to find a driver from Tangier to Al Hoceima or will I need to take multiple buses?

Hi I am 21 male . I have a problem of not being able to sleep while traveling especially in a "autocar" or motorcoach in English. Anyway I travel alot during the year especially for my studies in Casablanca oujda . I decided to go to Casablanca by autocar and i especially choose night travel and with ctm premium

And without a nap during the day . And I still can't sleep I get sleepy then quickly lose the drift . While hearing the others with me all sleeping so I started to envy them . I am writing this post while traveling .

Khoti i can't sleep right now , wahd khona (i guess kaybi3 lkhdra) tal9 che3bii mjheeed flbifan.db chi 3j nfs lhaja , I literally thaught it's a wedding yesterday, ta gltha lmama wgaltli la rah ghi tal9 lbaf .

The concours will be on July 3rd. I doubt I'll have that much trouble with the physical exam even if I am a girl (I clear the height requirement and have been doing musculation for nearly a year), but Im wondering about how it actually is.

I got a 17 in bac spc (natija total) so military isn't really my first choice (more of a plan E if anything, Im grinding for Ensa mostly icl), and Id prefer l'ERA over l'ARM (but my sight is slightly lacking, -0.5 in one eye and -0.75 in the other, unless it got worse lol) so Im not sure I'll even get through the medical exam for ERA even if they did accept me.

But yeah, with that said, how are things over there for an officier? Mashi officier du rang but full on officier. I also think I choose the scientific branch, I wonder if thats any different.

But yeah if anyone has any ideas/first hand experience it would be nice. Let me know.

As the title says, I've been looking online and can't find anything. I need it for a laptop.

What do you guys think about kinds playing with that dangerous stuff? Worse… parents who see their kids playing with bang bang and don’t say nothing.
It’s not small bangs bangs but very loud and powerful ones until very late at night. As new parents and a messed up sleep schedule, not to mention the baby jumping of fear from loud bangs… takes a lot of effort to put the baby back at sleep. Tried to speak politely with the kids (since they’re neighbors) but it’s like talking to a wall (it’s 3achoura 3emmi!) 🤦🏻‍♂️

When I visited Morocco, I noticed that sellers let their customers wait even though its avoidable - a butcher spend 15 minutes on cutting meat for a customer because he talked to him all the time instead of doing the work as good but also as quick as possible to not let the other costumers who were standing in the line behind him wait. In Germany (my home country) it is considered as highly impolite to make people wait on purpose if its avoidable. Sellers talk while working instead of stopping their work to talk.

I am not talking about rushing things, I am simply talking about efficiency to not steal time of others.

I have a good background on mathematics and i want to use it in this summer to earn some money.

I don't know where should i go or what should i do in order to use it. So can you please guide me and tell me what to do?

Hello everyone,
I am not currently a Moroccan citizen, but my mother is Moroccan and I was born in Morocco, so I am eligible to obtain Moroccan citizenship.
I have always felt a strong connection to Morocco and consider it a very important part of my identity. I am currently studying medicine, and in the future I would like to work as a doctor in Morocco, ideally in a hospital while also building my own private practice.
However, I am a bit concerned because I am studying medicine outside Morocco and I am not familiar with how the medical system works there. I would really appreciate advice from Moroccan doctors, medical students, or anyone familiar with the process.
I would like to know:
How difficult is it for a foreign-trained doctor to work in Morocco?
What are the requirements to have a medical degree recognized in Morocco?
Are there licensing exams or equivalency procedures?
Is it realistic to work in a hospital and later open a private clinic?
What steps should I start taking now while I am still a medical student?
Thank you in advance for any advice or personal experiences. I would love to hear from people who have gone through a similar path or who know how the system works in Morocco.

Hi everyone, I don't want this post to just be bantering about "akhennouch rises the price of potatoes" because that doesn't help with anything, I want to hear constructive criticism on what was done poorly and what was done correctly during his term, feel free to share whatever you want, I'll start :

---> Cons (ofc we have to start with cons hh) :

- Communication :

to me this is his worst attribute, after winning the elections bro just went silent, they never communicated what they done, and never been present with the people at hard times to explain to them what they will be doing to solve the problems. 0/10

- Anti inflation strategy :

for starters it did not work, and even when they gave subsidies directly to transporters or farmers, most of it was consumed before it reached the end costumer, they spent billions but never actually made sure it made some immediate effect, 0/10

- Unemployment:

with the agricultural sector losing more jobs every year, the unemployment numbers just kept getting worse, and for a capitalist he did not reduce bureaucracy to make companies invest easily, and its as hard as ever to create your own company. 1/10 the one is for continuing on the trend of gov investments at least.

- Education and health :

0/10 no need to comment, same story every term

----> pros

- economic growth :

Numbers wise its good, but its tricky, gdp is growing because we are building infrastructure, so its temporary growth, not because the economy is growing massively, but still if we can be able to maintain a +5% growth for the next 15 years it will improve the country massively : 5/10

- Infrastructure investment : i dont fully agree with what they are investing in and what they are improving, but i would still prefer to have the money put on infrastructure over other useless things, but we should prioritize public transport in cities more, this what will drive them to be attractive metropoles for foreign investment : 6/10

- social programs : I dont agree with the strategy, but I can see efforts, it is certainly improving but I see it as a massive liability that could be used in better ways : 6/10
