  1. i have given my parents more than enough empathy. i went to 8 months of therapy to improve myself and attempt to heal myself all the while having compassion for the sacrifices they have made for me and the struggles they have gone through to immigrant to this country. i have had dinner conversations with my mom. we went out to restaurants together to talk things through. at one point, i even moved out to a government subsidized housing in attempt to mend our relationship but was forced to move back home due to having my place broken into 3 times. i forgave my mom for a lot of things, and maybe she does love me, but i have realized that her love can only goes as far before she puts my brother before me. my brother has emotionally abused me and has made it clear that he wants nothing but the worse for me. when i was at one of my lowest points mentally, he turned my entire family against me and told me that id be miserable forever and hopes my depression consumes me. he even tried to physically hit me a couple of times (luckily i didn’t allow that to happen). my mom has always said that she would protect me from anyone who tried to hurt me or has hurt me, but funny enough, she will excuse my brother from his wrongdoings and act as if im not on the verge of going to a mental institution. im sorry for the long winded rant, i have been doing my utmost best to stay positive and to move out as well. im 21 and have enough saved up for a car and i am in the process of job searching so i have income to pay rent.
