Angel1111 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) If your mom wanted her kids to stick to Asian tradition, she should've stayed there. You know, my parents raised me in a really strict religion. So strict that if a family member leaves it, the family has to disown them. Well, I left. And when I did it, my mother was really upset (not in the verbally abusive way your mother gets upset, but she was upset). I talked to my dad later and told him that I was sorry but I just couldn't continue to live my life for them. He said that he understood. After awhile, they even got over it and continued to see me, which was against their religion's rules. My sisters never did get past it, but whatever. My point it, you must do what's right for you. If someone truly loves you, they will set you free with joy. My son is in college now. I miss him but I know that he's grown and must start his own life. I'm a big part of his life but he also has a whole life that has nothing to do with me. If he didn't have that, though, I would wonder what I did wrong. Either your mother gets over it or not. Her choice. Just lay low until you can get out of there. Edited January 25, 2010 by Angel1111 Link to post Share on other sites
Author kristinabopp Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 angel, when i runaway, and i talk to her after months, she told me *what can i do, if thats what you really want and if thats where youre happy then i cant do anything bout that.* and then now that i came back, shes holding me in the neck again controlling and everything. but at least i reminded her one time that ill be back there whether she likes it or not, because i know im not going to be living with them forever.
