Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I don't know you other than your posts here, but I just want to say I like the cut of your jib.
And really hope you can get the help you need and away from your toxic family.
Toxic? Maybe...
But the thing about Asian parents, especially Chinese parents, is that even the most lovely parents are ignorant and controlling af... like the "overton window" of parenting is so fucked...
The whole worldview is different.
Love and unhealthy dynamics can simultaneously exist... its not mutually exclusive
By western standards... we'd have to cut out all of our parents out of our lives
idk... attachment is just irrational, emotions are irrational...
I honestly hate Chinese culture more than I hate parents...
I don't blame them for being passed down such a fucked up culture...
