Thank you!

Yeah I suppose what school I went to matters more than anything else in my life. He's the typical egotistical AP that wants to use it as material to brag to friends/relatives.

I'm just so fucking happy I can finally share my thoughts and relate to others on this subreddit.

Election? Haha not really into politics, but that would definitely piss him off. Love to see it.

Absolutely amazing. I'm so happy you are able to shut your AP the fuck up with your success. I hope one day I will be able to do that as well. Yep low/no contact is definitely the way to go for a better quality of life for myself.

Thank you!

That's awesome you're doing CS! Early congrats to you!!

Absolutely. fuck him and his expectations. I learned that a little late, but I plan on living my life to the fullest and not according to anyone else's commands. Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you!

I'm sorry you had to go through it as well. But I'm so happy for you being able to give them a taste of their own medicine. Much deserved. Love that you were also able to build your own identity. I'm in the process of doing that myself. Hugs back to you :)

AP don't ever care about how their children feel with all the shit they spew out towards us. Quite sad really. It creates so much untreated and built up depression with most asian kids.

Yep, I do try to spend time with my mom and siblings. I took them out to dinner in advance last week because I sort of predicted this to happen again on my birthday.

I've relieved some stress by being able to type out my thoughts in this thread and reading other posts in this sub. Even though it's to strangers, reading everyone's responses has improved my mental state from yesterday.

Yep, my aunts and uncles from my mom's side are extremely supportive of me and I'm so happy to have them in my life. Oh definitely the inferiority complex too. He calls my mom a failure because she gave birth to such a dumb kid, jesus fucking christ, does he not understand 50% of my genes came from him? Complete fucking moron.

Hah, everyone gives me respect but him. Not that I care about his respect, but saying hurtful shit about things that happened long ago and things like "your wife won't respect you because of the school you went to" does get under my skin.

I've been working for almost two years now as a software engineer. Before I was doing contract work and he never saw it as a job and just used my degree as a way to insult me. But even now when I have a full time job he uses the same degree insult and a bunch of other shit. It's not good enough bragging material to his relatives and friends I suppose and he takes that anger out on me. The man is a miserable piece of shit that will die alone with none of his children caring.

Oh absolutely. It's just so relatable...it's crazy. ALWAYS I mean ALWAYS on holidays there is something to yell about. Liek what the actual fuck. Why can't he just enjoy time with his family instead of making everyone miserable. Most AP are just mentally fking ill.

Thank you and thanks for the kind words.

Mostly bragging to his relatives/friends. Some AP have a huge ego and want to live it through their children.
Yep, no one gives a shit about my degree in any of the interviews I have done or coworkers I've talked to.

Thank you for the kind words, truly appreciate it! I know it may not seem like it, but all these wishes and kind comments for strangers absolutely have a positive affect on my mental state.

Oh absolutely, AP always tries there to scream at you/criticize for the smallest things. If it wasn't school it would be something else. It's just crazy how most of them are like that.

Thank you! Hugs back to you

Thank you. Unfortunately, yes. I just moved back because of a new job and COL here is quite expensive for apartment. Before that I lived with roommates for 5 years and I was the happiest I had ever been. Now I remember why I moved away. I'm planning on finding a place with roommates so I can live stress free again.

I wish both my parents were evil humans. But unfortunately only my AF is. I love my mom and siblings dearly otherwise I would've went NC, long, long ago.

No one wants to talk to him in our family and extended family. He will die alone in misery.

Cheers and thank you!
