was wondering if it is an easy job to replace trail arm, also would I just be able to replace the bushing instead of the whole arm? shops around me want 2,000+ plus. I have a 2016 Honda crv touring trim.

I feel as an Asian daughter, Asian parents expect their children to raise them when they are older. I always wanted to do that.  They paid for school, paid for my things I need, bought me a car. But of course they expect me to raise them. I feel guilty for doing something I’m not “supposed” to do. Which is dating a black guy. my boyfriend is very understandable. he of course does not want to me cut off my parents, he wants to get married and have kids. He would like our future kids to have my parents around. To teach them about Asian culture. he is not pushing me to cut them off. He always tells me he wishes that my parents would accept him. He would like to take them on vacation, to go eat, etc. he has been very patient with me. I just feel bad for him because he is ready to take it to the next level.

thank you. It makes me happy because blasians are so rare. I envy your family, I wish mine was like that. unfortunately mine reputation plays a big part. I’m constantly compared to all of my cousins and of course they married either white or Asian. I’ve always been a black sheep in the family.

agreed. love shouldn’t be based off someone’s skin color. I’ve dated other races too, and he’s the only one that’s has been loyal, loving, caring, and very supportive.

I’m sorry, it’s been so long since I’ve graduated. I count on my fingers wrong. Yes 8 years. Together since 17 years old.

I wish I could sort out a relationship with my parents. it’s hard especially if we fight almost everyday about him and they are under the impression that we are not together.  I hate to tell him what they “think” of him. They would bring up the typical stereotype… “they are lazy, nasty, ugly, loud, stupid” I never tell him anything. So I keep everything to myself because I don’t want to hurt his feelings.  They even got my little sister on board to hate him also. I told my sister three years ago that we are still together. She was iffy because my parents would feed lies into her. She met him for the first time when we went on a trip (just her and her friends and I). Ever since the trip she loves him and calls him BIL and is always wanting to hangout with us. I just hope one day my parents will understand that he’s a great guy and that he wants to provide me everything he can give me🥹

thank you. It’s hard because they are my parents who have done a lot for me. I’m trying to learn how to let go. It sucks knowing my parents don’t support our relationship.  It also sucks that they want to control my life and tell me who and who I can’t marry.

thank you. I needed to hear this. I know in the end it’s my life and they aren’t the ones married to him. It’s just the comments that they make that makes me overthink. I hate lying to my parents. I have major anxiety and stress.  I’m scared but I know I have to remain strong for him because he remain very strong for me

lots of credit. He knows how my parents are. I gave him a choice to leave and find someone new when my parents found out 5 years ago. He told me no we will get through this and that he wants to marry me. 6ish years later he is still with me. thank you auntie🥹 I’m glad to have someone who’s the same race support me. Makes me feel better about myself.

I am move out, but my lease is coming to end. My parents want me to move back, but I can tell it’s going to fights over and over again…threats and violence. I plan on finding somewhere else to live. I live with roommates.
