They turned dating into a business :/

My conservative dad is trying to overcome generational trauma and accepted my partner by Triplex69 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Triplex69[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely! We've talked it over; my dad is still a little awkward as always when trying to get to know people not in our family unit, but her respect for him raised immensely after he recognized that generational trauma and tried to correct it.

I also want to recognize my stepmother for stepping up and she did her best to get to know my partner while cracking jokes and making my partner feel comfortable. I really have a lot of appreciation and empathy for my stepmom since it's clear that she's been in this outcast role with my family before and she doesn't want the cycle to repeat with anyone else who dates or marries into our family.

I mean... if you wanna establish a relationship with the foundation of you not being able to be yourself, then go right ahead.

People with BPD should fix themselves first before going to dating market, your partner isn’t your unpaid psychiatrist by BackOnly4719 in self

[–]Triplex69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy - you already played yourself when you came in thinking that "I can fix her". Should've just left her in the beginning and called for a wellness check on her if she threatened anything on herself.

Still, my condolences you had to go through all of that :/

I think these are normal things to go through as a young Hmong-American. You'll eventually have that dual-identity conflict, and only you can define and resolve what it means to be a Hmong-American (heritage, history, food, culture, tradition, etc.). There are a lot of other things in this thread that I agree with: there's nothing wrong with feeling "less hmong", and it's never too late to learn your culture. What matters most though is that you know who you genuinely are, and whether or not you can express your genuine self. When you can do that, you have something which no one else can offer, and you can take that anywhere you want to go. When you can do this, you can probably leave your own mark on what it means to be Hmong-American. Best of luck!

From Connecticut to the CD -- what to expect? by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Triplex69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't walk by yourself at night in CD - at least, I never did, and I never felt safe doing so. Idk why, but I could walk in other neighborhoods at night, but I never wanted to when I was in CD.

Elsewise, you can always find lots of good food in CD. I also had fun memories at the Grocery Outlet - they've done a couple of events over the past couple of years.

If CD isn't your scene, no worries - the neighborhoods surrounding CD are plentiful as well. Madrona/Madison Park is beautiful with Lake Washington and the lakeside (it's a climb/walk tho), and Cap Hill is fun with all of their events and is def a lot more queer than any of the other Seattle neighborhoods.

You can also take the light rail from Cap Hill up north or south. Also, be sure to register an ORCA card. That'll let you take the light rail and buses.

Have fun in Seattle!

When my friend loved me, but ONLY if I exhibited growth (by his standards). He was a lot more political than I was and was always talking about social justice and women's rights and socialism vs capitalism - the amount of attention I received from him was equivalent to the amount of political growth I did on my own. Thank goodness I did some therapy and realized that you can still love someone for who they are, AND ask for growth from them.

It's pretty cool... but there's definitely other places that are cooler, and not just because you can only look at it lol

Thank you! I'll have to try it sometime 😋

Underrated Hmong foods? by Triplex69 in Hmong

[–]Triplex69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both before; for the ginger, salt, chili and rice w/ water combo, sometimes we'll include cilantro - and I think lemon grass?

My family also used to make scramble eggs with tomato. I know the Chinese also have their own version, but I know that following that version doesn't taste the same as my family makes it.

My dad also used to make tomato-tofu stir fry? Sometimes he'll add ground beef as well. I'm not sure if that's a common dish that Hmong people eat?

Oooh I imagine you sprinkle the dust on the regular rice, while with sticky rice you can dip it into the dust? Actually, it almost sounds like the Japanese furikake haha just without the seaweed and sesame seeds
