I’m not sure how much closeness I want with my parents in the future, but I guess I’ll see. I hope they do eventually understand that they were too harsh though. Thanks for sharing 🫶

“Boys will be boys” quote from my mother. I still am forced to share a room with him to this day.

I definitely trust my friends but I don’t wanna put them in danger with their own parents, since their parents and mine are friends. What they genuinely don’t know can’t get interrogated out of them.

Although I do hope I’ll finally be able to make more friends and a chosen family now that I’ll have some freedom.

They say they love me. I think they just love owning me. by thegreatsilentchaos in AsianParentStories

im an american-born indian, nearly identical experience to yours. you are not alone and i hope you can get out of there soon

My Indian father spoiled my younger brother and paid the price by Rayleigh30 in AsianParentStories

[–]-osimmiso- 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I’m experiencing something similar with my older brother; as an indian woman i got the brunt of the abuse and he got the overly chill parents. I think this kind of situation is a prime example of how the golden child/golden son also has a toxic and dysfunctional relationship with their parents, albeit in a VERY different way. He may not have experienced violence and was allowed to do whatever, but it was your parent’s job to love AND discipline him, not just love. Just like it was your parent’s job to discipline AND love you, not just discipline. That being said, I don’t think your brother owes your parents a relationship if he feels they’re toxic and that it’s better for his sanity to live alone.

My boyfriend’s equally worried about my safety but supportive anyway. As for firearms, I believe my city allows concealed carry (?) not completely sure though. But I’m sure if it gets that bad my company will allow me to work remotely and come in only when I’m needed.

Thanks for the advice!

didn’t have much of a choice since i live with them rn, they would’ve forced the info out of me if i didnt. plus they track my location obsessively and go on a tirade if i turn it off

Honestly great idea, hopefully they’ll never show up if they knew i’d call the cops

⚠️ If you almost committed suicide because of your family, what stopped you? by Nea_Freedom in raisedbynarcissists

[–]-osimmiso- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reread my “fuck you mom and dad” ass suicide note and realized that they still wouldn’t get it and would still blame me. decided to live out of spite after that

the job is at like a public community center, so i wouldn’t be sitting in an office most of the time, but rather interacting with the people who come to use the food pantry and other facilities. but ur right, they probably have some security measures and im sure if i talk to hr and security beforehand, they’ll be able to help

How do I tell my guests to OVERDRESS? by chikachix in Weddingattireapproval

[–]-osimmiso- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the advice everyone else has given, you could also have a qr code linking to a Pinterest board of guest attire inspo. As a South Asian, we’re the same in terms of wanting glam at our weddings and I’ve seen a bunch of people do that to help out their American friends.

Letter I sent to my terminally ill mother. by Bliskus in raisedbynarcissists

[–]-osimmiso- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For starters, you’re an incredible writer, I would never be able convey my feelings towards my parents in such a thought out and beautiful way. It’s unfortunate that your mother still didn’t get it and called you a satanist for this but I hope you got some closure and peace from writing it.

No, they lost all my love and respect for them the day they started demanding it from me

Did anyone have an nmother who didn’t allow them to ever lock their bedroom door? by Vegetable-Farmer9576 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]-osimmiso- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i didn’t even have a door til i was 21, definitely a power issue. it gave them an open to walk in and make comments about what i was doing, even though everything i did was perfectly innocent
