• But my mom damaged my wings so I couldn’t fly away from her control.

    Then she’d be like “hey I love you, son”

    Then like later that day “WHY ARE YOU SO USELESS”

    Bipolar much?

    Idk how to feel about it.

    I remember happy memories with her.

    Also the traumatic memories.

    I view my self from 3rd person view and… I kinda get it…

    I can be annoying at times…

    I have moments where I was a difficult child…

    But then again…

    She chose to have me…

    so…

    mom…

    I have one question:

    “Why?”

    “Why… all of this?”

    Parent-Child dynamics in Chinese families is so weird.

    The “parental love” is not as in the western type of unconditional love. I feel like control is like an intrinsic aspect of such “love” in East Asia.

    spoiler

    Btw there’s this anthology 5 episode Taiwan tv show called 你的孩子不是你的孩子, available on Netflix, couldn’t find a torrent for it. This showcases the various types of Parent-Child relationships in Chinese-influenced cultures)

      I’m sorry, dude. I don’t have anything that can help. But you are a human being and you matter. Best of luck.

    Reminds me of a poem I heard once…

    Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don’t care, I’m still free

    You can’t take the sky from me

    Take me out to the black
    Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
    Burn the land and boil the sea

    You can’t take the sky from me

    There’s no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity

    But you can’t take the sky from me…
