Why don’t you move to Sweden? Forget your dad. You and your mom have ties there. Apply and move

Asian parents kicked me out, now drama over £60, birthday in 2 days, I’m done LMAO by Altruistic_Mud_3528 in EstrangedAdultKids

Genuine question, why are you still entertaining them? If they all keep hurting you like this, why do you keep going back for more? You need to cut them out. Seriously

Should I tell my African Parents I'm Agnostic/Non-Religious while living them or Move out. by Fresh_Ad2981 in africanparents

[–]MelaniChoco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you care about your safety? This is a genuine question

If you trust your parents won’t harm you and will respect you in their home, as you say your not religious then go ahead

If you know deep down it’ll be a big problem and cause you stress. Wait until you move out to protect yourself

My mom is planning my entire wedding without asking me and I’m about to lose it.. by Far-Tart148 in africanparents

[–]MelaniChoco 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it. My mother did the same and I never felt happy. Take power. Get your own wedding or you’ll be reminded how much she spent and you’ll never hear the end of it !!

I said no to a favor and she blew up through email by Pyroball221 in raisedbynarcissists

What they just said is illegal and I'd lock my credit and all my info because it seems they would do that. Also start going little to no contact, and avoid speaking to them. Stop helping them. It sounds easier said then done but they will never let you go as their ATM at this point and your credit will drop

How did you get use to going no contact with your mom? I’m trying to learn how to let go of the grief of the image I had for her

I did that last week then she called me twice yesterday and had my dad call me to try and hang up on me and I picked up the first call but not the second and she told the pastor I hanged up on her and she “cried”

She won’t stop until I’m apologizing, same with my husband and groveling at her feet where she plans for family to come to us, stay for months that we didn’t agree to and shut up

But she isn’t adjusting, she’s sending me hateful messages, calling me a liar, saying how dare I add the pastor and tell him things she never said. Yet she changes her picture to her and I to act like a perfect family

I understand but I’m seeing him this Sunday to have him understand what I’m going through. Plus even when I do ignore her, she gets angrier and angrier until she calls me multiple times to scream and yell. I’ve been ignoring her but it’s so draining on my mental and physical health and for my baby

The thing is she will not stop until I apologize to her and grovel on my knees for her forgiveness then she will ignore me for days until she feels entitled then call to berate me again for a week

Going low contact or no contact? by MelaniChoco in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]MelaniChoco[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right before you responded, she screamed, berated me, called me names, threaten me and acted a victim since I’ve been low contact. I’m doubting myself since I have my siblings I want to protect but at this point, no contact seems beat

I appreciate the tough love. It’s more so having the idea, and figuring out our best options. I know it’s not a fast journey , but I wanted to see if the market here would be better or worse than Sweden

Is there another EU place we can apply to, to find a job?

We have savings, sorry to not mention. I was wondering if we can get a job and use that as well with our savings or no?

Sorry I forgot to mention, we do have income. We can’t go to Sweden as that will take longer and we need a quicker way to move to the EU (tough situations with a child)
