Dear Kat:
I read your June 2018 thread as well as this one.
Regardless of their culture, being Asian, accusing you of being too American and so forth, your parents are not nice people. When they told you: “You are our daughter, we love you, we just don’t like you”- the first part and last part read true to me, you are their daughter and they don’t like you. But I don’t see the middle part being true, that is, that they love you.
I didn’t read any evidence of love on their part in neither of your threads.
I understand that it is very difficult for any child of any age, to see that her parents don’t love her, very tough. But as tough as it is, do accept it best you can.
It is a wonderful thing that they want you to move out and I hope you move out as soon as possible, not looking back. Please do them the favor they asked and end their misery (“Do us a favor and do yourself a favor by ending our misery”) and make a life for yourself elsewhere.
And when you do, don’t give them the money they requested from you (to help with household expenses), they don’t deserve your money. Move out and leave them behind.
I hope to read from you again!
