They feel like cult leaders:
They told me: “Only us, as your parents, care about you, don’t trust anyone else…”
Which reminds me: There’s actually a common phrase in Chinese culture: “世上只有妈妈好”, it’s a common “nusery rhyme” thingy but its one of the most subtle propaganda in Chinese culture. Roughly translates to “The only good person in the entire world is your mother”. (I guess they forgot the bit about abusive parenting… 🙄)
So, people are just suppose to believe anything your parent say?
Very cult-like…
Anyone else have parents like this?
It’s an Asian culture thing. My mom was the same way. It’s absent in the families of my white friends though.
