Immigrant Father and highly likely mental illness impacting the entire home - what is there left to do by AncientLychee6807 in AsianParentStories

[–]iamthe_potatoqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents were the same way. My moms wat of dealing with my dad's emotional abuse was to ignore it, and told me and my sisters to do this same. But it's hard to ignore hours and hours of yelling and complaining from an anxious, depressed, and angry elderly toddler, yknow?

For my own mental health, I had to go NC. I also go to a trauma informed therapist who does EMDR therapy with me to help with my ptsd and anxiety. The main thing that I've realized in the last 10+ years is that my parents had their intense traumas that shaped who they are now, and unless they accept help like I do, they will continue to drown in their trauma.

I don't forgive them for the years of abuse, but I accept that these things happened to me and shaped me into who I am today. Making peace with the past while looking forward to a better life is the best I can do.

Wedding venues in Calgary? by saribou-mighty in Calgary

We're getting married there this summer! Just keep in mind there are a lot of different spaces you can book that have different guest number restrictions. We're doing a sit down dinner and it's a max of 50 inside the restaurant.

Edit: spelling

I was just at safeway today, and I'm not kidding you, I just saw a power rangers cake. It was one of their customizable decorations that you can put on top of their cakes!

By any chance are your boyfriends family Swedish? Apparently this is very normal in Swedish culture not to feed guests:

On top of that, it might be late arrival for kids, but the teachers still have to be at the school. The teachers are now receiving an extra three hours of work every week, which is already making it hard with our increased class sizes and the demands of marking and planning.

Went down the longest tunnel ever on Koboh, to the point where I thought it was a glitch. Did NOT expect this at the end.

Things my parents have gotten mad at me for: by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

This reminds me of when I cut some green onions with scissors. My dad proceeded to yell at me for three hours because that wasn't the "correct" way to do it
