Dear Joohi

As you and your family are living in the West in particular the USA I make the following observations from that stand point.

1 calling someone stupid is abuse (Actions can be described as stupid but not the person)

2 Stopping some one going to work and earning money – coercive behavior – abuse

3 Not approving a relationship due to ethnicity is racism

4 Your father getting mad at your mum for your choices is worrying

So I agree whole heartedly  with Anita about finding your own space & how to do it this way you will not have the guilt of lying about your living arrangements.

You are lucky that you have a kind & understanding supervisor
