@Darth_Algar: “She comes here asking for advice. She receives good, well-intentioned advice, but that advice isn’t what she wants to hear, so her response is “shut up”.
The GOOD, WELL INTENDED advice I responded shut up to: “It appears your mother would prefer that you join your cat in running away.”
“Objectively speaking, you’re fortunate that your mother doesn’t evict the 2 of you. ”
Lol. This is the dumbest “advice” ever.
This thread is just full of attacks from narrow-minded people who don’t question the values they are brought up with. American family value ideals which also lead the homelessness rates… My country, for homeless rates, is not even in Top 50. Suicide rates – not even at sight. Because we don’t raise kids and then treat them like materials, or force them to be parts of the system. Thats what families who lack in proper love and sense do. We treat them like human beings whom we will love and care for till we die – we dont kick them out when they turn 18 because money is what defines one’s identity. We encourage them to be independent, and believe me I am, I lived overseas in America for 8 years and I can think independently and survive without them. But our values… We don’t live by the shallow, materialistic rules you kept attacking me with here. And I’m thankful for that.
Cat came back, and I’m the best daughter my mother can ask for because I’m me and I care about things nobody in her family did. And I will be there for her till she dies unlike my brother, who makes 7 figures a year(you’d think he is the best!!!) and yells at her on the rare phone calls he makes.
I don’t even know the purpose of my question. I wrote it in a sudden moment of panic. I guess it showed me the types of people who are responding to questions here, so that’s good.
