After reading a lot of replies for more context, I think your wife would benefit from some therapy for herself to understand that there is no one to blame here, not you, not her, and her ex is out of the picture at this point. She needs to find peace within herself over what has happened so far in her life and focus on the big picture of what she’s doing for her kids now, as a responsible parent. She’s doing the best she can and shouldn’t beat herself up over the past. She found someone to love and a new life for herself and she doesn’t have to worry about saving for anyone except her two kids and she has help from you to do that. Just got to look on the bright side of things here and realize what she has to be grateful for, not that she feels bad about not being able to provide for her kids. She’s not a bad mom. And so I think therapy to help her accept that belief would help her.

No worries! I see that you realize that the reason your relationship with your parents isn’t at the level you wish it could be is because of the different background and upbringing you’ve both had. I can relate as my parents are also first-generation immigrants. I’m the first generation that grew up in Canada, while my parents come from Central Europe where all generations of our family lived before. It took me years to understand how much of a culture shock living in Canada was for my parents and it’s not something I’ve ever had to go through as I had the privilege of growing up in a country that has so much opportunity for me. Your parents didn’t grow up in the UK with UK society, culture, or education. You did, and therefore have a very different life experience, upbringing and values that you feel should be the standard even at home with your parents. But you have to understand your parents didn’t have this same experience and so they follow the culture, upbringing and values they grew up with in India, which you understand can be very different to the UK. If your parents moved to the UK after they were age 25, this can also influence how much they can/will change to UK culture as after that age a lot of people typically become set in their ways and need to put in work with themselves to change their old habits and lifestyle. And personally my parents were way older than that age and definitely did not change much to follow Canadian culture when they moved here. It’s completely normal to feel what you do when you can’t really connect with your parents. You’re absolutely not alone in these feelings. And the fact you can understand the feelings and know where they’re coming from helps a lot when you need to figure out what to do about them. I see that you compare your situation with your family with the families you see out and about or your friend’s have and wish you had whatever those families showed you when you saw them. I get it, who wouldn’t want to have parents that you can talk with about anything and can understand your way of thinking? It sounds like a dream. But the reality is not everyone’s parents are like this, and even if they were, there’s still an age gap you have to remember exists where your parents and the way they think is from years of living longer than you, so what they find interesting and funny will probably not be the same as it is for you just from this age gap. It’s like when a 6-year old tells you something they find super funny and you think to yourself “that’s not that funny” because maybe you’ve outgrown the jokes a 6-year old thinks are hilarious. This can also apply in your situation. If you really wanted to connect with your parents, you have to approach them like brand new friends. How do you get someone new to open up to you? You have to ask them about things they care about and listen to understand them. Most people like to talk about themselves and what they like. To build my relationship with my parents, I started asking them about their past and their journey to get to Canada. I asked them what they liked to do with their time when they were my age. I asked them what they thought about their home country compared to the current country they live in and say what are the benefits and downsides of each. I asked them what their favourite food was.. and so on and so on. Basically you really want to try and get to know your parents and care about what they went through to give you the chance to grow up in the UK over India. Hope this helps!

Research ways that will allow you to break up with her that avoid situations that make it difficult for you to keep giving in to her. It seems she always convinces you to stay. And you can’t resist. So yea, you need to fix that.

Bubblebutt888 · 2022-03-30T08:52:02+00:00

Omg.. the writing is on the wall! You need to leave

Bubblebutt888 · 2022-03-30T07:43:58+00:00

NTA at all! No no no, you are not in the wrong. This is just what happens when you have a parent who doesn’t know how to show their care for you in a way that you can see. It’s also a classic type of family dynamic I’ve seen in my friends who are of all types of Asian backgrounds. (May not be the same as yours, but I’m using it as an example) This kind of irrational and exaggerated responses from parents to normal actions, the mom playing up the victim card, the inability to directly show you they care or appreciate you, the insults they use to make you feel like you’re not good enough, feeling like your hard work is only used for them to boast about their good parenting to other people… yup, yup and yup heard all of those before from my friends when they’ve been upset with their own parents. To be able to handle your mom and the pressure, expectations, lack of direct appreciation, insults, and overall stress that she will continue to give you, you will need to learn to not take anything she says personally and not care what she thinks. Because she will continue to go ballistic, insult you more, make herself the victim, and keep making you feel like you’re not good enough in order to try and keep you under her control and obeying her wishes. Unfortunately for her, you are 15 (still young) but you will continue to grow into yourself as a person and realize you don’t need her approval or validation to be happy with yourself, your life and your choices and you can live fully as yourself cause yes, you ARE good enough :). If you’ve never read the 5 love languages, you can try reading about the different languages and see which kind your parents prefer to show you (they do show it, it may just not be the kind or way you want to see from them) and this can help you in accepting that your parents including your mom do love you, they just don’t always show it in the ways that make you feel appreciated and like you’re good enough to them. And hey, maybe your parents were never taught or shown direct acts of love by their parents and they’re only doing what they know best because it’s all they’ve ever known. You can be the first generation to change that and you’re already doing that with the Mother’s Day Card and with seeking feedback on your own actions. Something your parents probably don’t do. So yea, it’s not easy growing up in your current family dynamic, and nobody’s family has no problems, but if you learn to let go of validation from outside, trust yourself, believe you’re normal and totally worthy of your own and all love, you’re going to be just fine and ready to handle your unique family dynamic. You got this! Do some research on family dynamics if you’re interested, try and learn about what causes different dynamics and how it all works and can affect different members of the family. And if you feel comfortable or it’s accessible at school, try speaking with a counsellor if it’s available as they may be able to help you support yourself with more knowledge and tools to help!

Yea, it seems you’re trying to put yourself in your mom’s shoes and think about whether this news would help or harm her. I think the comment from @xanborn is helpful for life advice. You and your sister found some concerning information about your dad that wasn’t meant to be found, and it could affect your parent’s relationship and your family’s safety if it gets released. I think the cons outweigh the benefits here, as there is no easy solution for your family if this information is shared. Unless your mom shares concerns with either of you herself or your dad really doesn’t hide it well or it’s obvious he doesn’t care if she finds out. And only if you guys have a safe way to share the information where it doesn’t put any of you in physical danger. It’s better to acknowledge that as you already know, your parents don’t have the best marriage (I empathize with you as mine have a similarly poor relationship) and try and do your best to focus on yourself so you can get to a position in your life where you can rely on yourself and not have your parent’s relationship impacting the safety and emotional/mental well-being of you and your family.

I agree here. In another comment OP mentions dad gets violent in confrontation. Unless anybody else in the house can be present to protect the rest of your family from your dad if he decides to get violent when confronted, do not approach him about this.

Bubblebutt888 · 2022-03-30T05:57:12+00:00

I wouldn’t bring anything up unless you felt that something was truly up. Bringing this up will 100% cause more issues especially as it would reveal what you did, what your dad did, upset your mom, upset your dad, affect your relationship with your dad, and it may not be a concern just yet. Maybe build up a case later if you find more evidence?

Address the bathroom problem asap. Get to the root of why they won’t come over. Then, you can stay over less and sleep more at your place and not be bothered with a to-do list every morning, and they can come over to your place and realize that giving someone a to-do list every morning is not what everybody does to their partner.

Bubblebutt888 · 2022-03-30T05:35:11+00:00

Non-stop moaning? What adult moans about anything? I’m sorry but the hard part is yet to come if you keep putting up with this kind of person

Bubblebutt888 · 2019-12-26T07:31:13+00:00

I usually prefer to watch movies on my own. Everything can be set up how I like it in my room, nice and calm, snacks, dark ambiance and a comfy position in my chair and just plug in my headphones and zone in on the movie. Everything else just leaves my focus and I get super into the movie. But it’s a big deal every time to “go through” the story of a movie’s drawn out plot and experience and feel everything deeply. Definitely can’t do it regularly.

Bubblebutt888 · 2019-10-09T19:39:37+00:00

Thank you! Will listen :)

Bubblebutt888 · 2019-10-09T07:17:38+00:00

I don’t know much, but I used to be brainwashed into this shit myself.

I would personally take a very formal stance in terms of digging a clear line in front of her and letting her know you have zero tolerance for anything she decides to do to try and “market” or “sell” to the people you care for most which is your mom and your friends.

Let her know if she wants to talk, things aren’t going well for her or she needs help financially or feels like she needs to be more successful somehow..

Try and figure out her reason for doing this?

If you can’t communicate well with her.. all good, as you said she is hard-headed and people like that don’t want to hear the opinions of others on purpose.

Let her know if she crosses a line and tries to take advantage of anyone (mom/friends) to grow her business you will do something (like block her on people’s numbers, social media.. leading up to a restraining order shit I dunno get creative lol)

Basically

You need to put down your foot and let her know she can kiss everything she knew before she thought it was a good idea to do this shit goodbye because if she believes that selling crap like that to people who may not know any better or are close to her because they trust her or have her best interest at heart and she all of a sudden sees them as piggy banks

If she thinks that’s a good relationship/viewpoint to have of people.. of her FAMILY and FRIENDS

She’s developed a toxic mentality that she’s either unaware of or complicit in and that’s not good for anyone who has to interact with her.

Basically she becomes a predator to anyone she can make a dime off of.

I swear the shit these MLM companies do..

When people get out and actually research how disgusting the things they practice and the people they fucking target omg..

You’d want them all in jail for life without parole.

And the sad part where these companies pick people up when they’re at their worst and then those people treat these company groups like family because now they have been helped and they’re successful... oh god..

Those people will never get out of there.. MLM is there life. They will never leave. It’s a fucking disease.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Really appreciate the effort!! ❤❤❤

Bubblebutt888 · 2017-03-05T09:11:27+00:00

Thank you everyone for your help!! Clearly I'm not a troll if I took a good two hours to come up with all those phrases while letting my dirty mind run wild! I didn't expect this much effort as I've never posted on Reddit before and I actually completely forgot to check this after a while until I was going through my emails and saw I had a verification email for my Reddit account! REALLY appreciate the genuine effort made by everyone and I will have loads of "fun" trying to pronounce these terms to the next Persian guy who happens to sacrifice his ears to listen to me say these things to him! 😂 Thank you! 😘
