Okay look I’m not tryna be mean but my mom has no life, like no passions except literally me. I was supposed to be her retirement, I was supposed to take over family responsibilities, that was the long term plan and it genuinely sucks. Like I get it (1)

We’re supposed to take care of our family, but at the same time, she gave me an ed at 12 years old, she made me get laser (not that I look back at regret the choice but I didn’t know I looked at bad). My mother and how she fixates on my life it annoys me, and she literally has nothing better to do. My parents are financially successful but also don’t know how to spend and budget and they don’t like each and never did, yet refuse to leave eachother. I can’t be there for them cuz I don’t support

Them, but I feel embarrassed for my mother. Like she does all the cooking and cleaning, and grocery shopping and works, she’s basically a slave. Idk what to do for her to get her own passions in life. And okay she got her degrees in another country and never used them, when she moved to the US she never checked to see if they counted here, and moved where her lazy husband moved. Like my mother could’ve been a professor with a nice cushy salary, but instead she followed my dad and got into debt

Cuz they don’t want the same things in life. And the worst part is my dad doesn’t even have a degree, he only graduated hs and he spent most of his life in America. They had an arranged marriage that was forced, and my mother barely knew my father before they got married she just agreed cuz she was taught to trust her parents judgement, my dad is domestically violent and assaulted me, but not her, and god forbid she leave. Like omg
