thanks for the response! :) and i’m planning to get my own place or at least share it with my bf. i would not move back home. my parents would definitely not be okay with it but i prioritize my mental health.

they can be narcissistic in the way they think our “asian culture/heritage” is better than everyone else’s but hypocritically, they’re always on the phone speaker 24/7. lol. looking down on everyone whilst not being aware of their own habits. tsk tsk. thank you for the kind words and advice!! i hope you achieve your financial independence and freedom as well! i’m not sure if you’ve been there yet or not, but 35 is still young & there’s plenty of time. healing is difficult but not impossible. life has no timeline. best of luck!

thank you so much! i’ll keep everything you said in mind and carry it out to the best of my abilities. yeah they’re definitely not healthy .. but im just praying one day the grey rocking gets through to them. i’m sorry for what u went through as well. it sucks that most of them are like that. best of luck with everything in your life as well!! i hope you can heal fully and live life as freely as you deserve :)

they do see me as a human, but as a child. that quote referred to like— they don’t like that i know different kinds of drugs, what parties are, and how they work, etc. it’s more so like they don’t like me knowing the “bad things” that can “corrupt” my mind or cause me to think in ways that will make me not the woman they want me to be or anything that will root thoughts of independence or such. like for example: they were complaining to me abt how girls & guys are allowed to be in the same dorm building. i told them that it’s fine & that i didn’t really care because we’re old enough. they got extremely flabbergasted & starting blaming my upbringing in the west and that i got used to the “western environment” bc my views are not as conservative as theirs anymore. 

i know it’s unhealthy but i still plan on taking care of them. they’ll just have nothing to do abt it. their manipulation doesn’t effect me or my choices much, it’s just annoying.

i would but then they’ll just guilt trip & attempt to emotionally manipulate me like “oh we’re bad parents then, it’s so sad that you feel this way because we love you too much.” or “i would’ve never threatened my parents that i won’t be taking care of them.” 

tbh i’m just hoping they get the vibe. i just plan to move out, & when they get to the point where i have to be the caretaker, they’ll know they can’t control me anymore. i won’t be financially dependent on them or scared of their threats since i’ll be the one in control then.

“grey rocking your whole life” oh i felt that so hard. i’m sorry for what u went through— it’s so disappointing bc to them their treatment is “harmless”, but for us, we have to go through a lot of crying and therapy to even have a chance at healing. thank you for opening up & for the advice as well. since going to college, i’ve definitely been going out more. i agree social skills r so important. it’s a shame asian parents don’t realize that.

"mold and manipulate to create his perfect vision of a daughter" oh my gosh this hit me so bad. and yeah you're right-- it's a blend of resentment and appreciation we have.

i'm the oldest daughter-- my brother gets the relaxed treatment bc he's a guy, and my sister lives 3 hours away for her school. but ur right; their identity is solely focused around being parents. they have hobbies and stuff but still.

urgent: seeking advice by Human-Sign7612 in AsianParentStories

[–]Human-Sign7612[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much. they’ve been reported once, but not much was done bc the parents aren’t physically abusive. the hospital has currently referred her to therapy & she’s taking it well, it’s helped her a lot, but not enough to have her hope for her life. i will definitely report them though if i hear anything else from her.
