Not from Japan, but from Asia, and in all my years of living most of the time it is made out to be unless your parent was an alcoholic abuser who physically assaulted you everything else gets a pass, they ignore you and leave you alone in the house with a device in your hand for hours on end not bothering to check up on you once cause if something was wrong they trust you to handle it and call the adults. Think everything's okay if u keep ur grades up but once they start slipping they finally notice you're not doing okay but still refuse to get u professional help cause no child of mine is crazy enough to seek a shrink. And when you grow up and try to get away from them by moving away they always try to guilt trip u into coming back and finally show some love that you yearned for growing up. you think this time it's gonna last but nope they are back to their way of only loving you when you bring some face to the table. Not to mention they won't blink twice and kick me out if they were to find out my orientation. I just try to ignore them but it's hard to manage alone especially when the economy's shit everywhere and you know your siblings are still getting support from ur parents
I’m so sorry :( I really hope you have a strong supports system either in friends or other family members to help you out with all of this! If you ever wanna talk or even just vent, feel free to reach out to me if you need some company!!
I’ve read a lot of manga where romantic partners always push for them to have a relationship with their parents even when their partner has stated discomfort or trauma. Idk if this is a cultural difference, but in America if you constantly pushed ur friend or partner to forgive a parent who has wronged them, you’d probably get cut off and people would find you the weird one in that situation. Ik Japanese people have a very different dynamic on treatment with family but, is this normal/okay to do there?
