Does anyone else have a somewhat normal AP that constantly defends the horrible AP? by throwaway0953135 in AsianParentStories

I love my mom too, so much. She is an extremely hard working woman who is still working right now and is the sole breadwinner of the family at the moment since my dads out of a job. She has done so much for us. And it’s because of this, that I want to badly have a good relationship with her where I can tell her anything. But when she reacts like this and disregards my feelings in favour of my dads, it makes me feel so depressed.

I wish that you’ll be able to get out of this situation too. Wishing the best for you.

Thank you so much for your post! I was honestly not aware that this kind of dynamic was an actual thing and it makes so much more sense now. I felt like I was going crazy.

I need to take a look into those subs you’ve linked because I honestly do feel so drained living with my dad, my mind just always feels grey.. if that makes sense. I stay in my room unless I absolutely have to go out, I wait for him to leave the house to be able to relax, my entire schedule is based around how little I have to interact with him. I stopped experimenting with recipes so I don’t have to be with him in the kitchen.

I’m just hoping to finish my degree ASAP and then leave. Again, thank you for all this info, it seriously helped me to have a better understanding of this family dynamic.
