dunno how many of you consider your parents to be abusive (emotionally or physically or any other form of abuse) but god, i'm tired of my mom...
the physical beatings i can bear (when i say beatings, i don't mean a simple spanking.. i mean it's black and blue) but when she puts me down or tells me what i can and cannot do (she won't even let me go out later than 8pm and i'm 18 years old already for god's sake!), it gets to the point where i feel... choked... stranggled.. if that's not enough for abuse, talk about economic abuse... she takes my hard-earned money and says, "i'll keep it for you so that you won't spend it" (even though i have a checking account) and just stashes it away for her own use. i never see that money ever again... >< i'm not really sure if i'm looking for advice (i probably am cuz i'm about to burst here) but i'm certainly not looking for anyone's pity.... i guess i just want people to know how lucky they are for having good parents.. it's way better than winning the lottery... |

i do know that what she does is illegal. i have considered reporting her but it's kind of complicated... if she goes to jail, it's very likely that her application for citizenship will be revoked. if that happens, my sisters will probably be denied citizenship as well because they're under her care. i don't want them to go back to the PI now....
btw, i don't live with her right now. i live elsewhere during the school year so there aren't any beatings for now. with regards to her taking my money, she's the POA of my checking account (she opened it for me when i was 16); that's how she's able to take my money. but i found a way to get it back without her knowledge so... that's not too big of an issue now. i have spoken with other adults about this and they pretty much gave me the same advice as all of you have. i know i can move in with them if ever things get really bad... 90% of me is telling me to move out but that other 10% is telling me "FILIAL PIETY!!!" she DID raise me well as a child... she DID send me to school... she DID feed me... sometimes i tell myself that maybe it's because of the stress she's going through that she acts the way she does. other times, i'm like.. "f*ck that.." *sigh* the issue of my sisters' citizenship status complicates the entire matter. if not for that, i would have reported her right away. i did not mean to come out as a loser without any initiatives... |
