wow I feel sorry for you CecilyMare
& damn I feel bad for those with stereotypical asian parents!
My mum is becoming more understanding since my dad has left etcetc.
(goddam my dad was a traditional-ish asian, kinda glad he i'snt around even though he was NEVER abusive or anything)
My mum supports me to follow my passions.
(since there was mistakes for pushing my older brother to studystudy do this do that course etc.)
And since that was a terrible outcome, I'm lucky I don't have to go through that!
Learning from mistakes.
