Hey lovelies,
Today I kinda want to talk about my family because I genuinely don't know if it's normal. My mother apologized for the first time in my life today. After I told her yesterday that I have derealization she just brushed it off said "I had those problems too and never got help" etc. But this isn't the first time this happened. And for the other times she never apologized.
Meanwhile my father who raised me the Kazakhstani way. He just kinda abandoned me? Like I never hear from him probably because he wants me to contact him but I have so much stress and work I really can't.
Is this normal? I'm not sure. If you do also have family problems know you're not alone <3
Xoxo charlie

My parents were always there for me but I don't think they ever can understand my problems, both their responses are more or less similar to your moms, the ironic thing is that both my mom and dad exhibit minor traits of adhd, which sometimes leads to silly arguements that I have to position myself into to try and calm down as an adult, although thankfully they've always seemed to be patient with each other, granted my dad could be alot less grumpier sometimes given how much he likes to talk about being 'positive in live'.
So I don't think it's an asian thing, it's just that some parents don't understand the depth of mental issues, even ones of their own. Younger parents likely would be more understanding i think.
