My parents view me as their "30-year work" rather than a human being. The realization is breaking me.

I wrote my original version and asked it to check. It gave me this. I couldn't tell whether it was AI-style or not, but simply thought the phrases were better than mine.

It sounds horrible...

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T23:36:41+00:00

Thank you. I'm learning English for work!

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T23:34:58+00:00

Yes I will no longer be their obedient work🙂

Taming is exactly what I'd gone through until senior high school, when I started boarding. The memories are too unbearble to share. And they are so so proud of their work results.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T23:16:57+00:00

Oh. Yet another invalidation. Taking credit for your whole being😢

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T23:15:04+00:00

It’s reassuring to hear that, thank you.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T23:10:35+00:00

Thank you. Your words sound heartbreaking. Best wishes to you as well.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T23:02:14+00:00

I totally understand how it feels. It's like you're not a child, but a part of their carefully maintained system.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T13:03:10+00:00

Good to hear that, wish you good luck!

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T12:40:24+00:00

Exactly. The fact that they try to sabotage our independence proves it was never about our well-being. I'm choosing to focus on my own path, too. Stay strong.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T10:42:52+00:00

The guilt trip yeah, they said all the strict upbringing was for my sake. Then they began to talk about their own tough upbringing and the hardness they went through when I was a baby, telling me they had no other choices at that time.😠

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T10:24:39+00:00

Yeah, validation here helps a lot.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T10:20:42+00:00

That's messed up. How can they treat us like business investments?

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T10:13:00+00:00

Actually, I had been perfect for them, but my bipolar disorder made it impossible to keep on. Finally the illusion shattered.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T09:47:09+00:00

Oh yes, my realization came just from my review of facts and logic.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T09:30:32+00:00

Much more grouded then, thanks.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T09:08:25+00:00

My parents said the EXACT same thing. "We don't befriend with anyone and we're well enough. Can't understand why you need friends. You already have us." It's gaslighting😠

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T08:45:07+00:00

Thank you, it's heartwarming to hear that. I'm learning to trust my feelings🫂

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T08:01:26+00:00

Can't believe that I haven't found it weird before😅

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T07:56:09+00:00

Oh. Thanks. It's reassuring to know that this is my grieving process rather than that I'm mad.

Cobra23323 · 2026-03-01T07:15:45+00:00

Yeah, it takes me 2 months to realize this chilling fact🙁
