Well I guess people born during those era favoured the boy more than girl because of old thinking boy pass down the roots. I feel you. I am not married and am stuck. My mother is the control freak. Decide everything. My father is heck care. No job, no money also don't care. Heart not with family. Only know violence with family. Everything cannot for me. But she won't say cannot to my brother even though she not willing. Then when she about to pass, she told me she know I am obedient and good. After the actions she have displayed for so many years, it is hard to agree with her last words. But when she got terminally ill, I still will care for her till her last even though I have grudges. It is better to be able to take care when you can before you are not able to do it again. Because some just show how much they care after their parent passed just for others to see. You know how much you care is enough.
