I’m 24M, asian. Been living with my parents since I dropped out of a university since 2020. My parents & I came to the US as refugees for the sole purpose of a better life and most of all, education. So it broke their hearts when I dropped out and told them I’ll go back in a year or so.

Tonight I told them nope, I do not plan on finishing it as of right now. And they flipped out per usual. Calling me names, insults, verbal abuse, just stuff you wouldn’t say to a person, let alone your oldest son. But this is the norm since as long as I can remember. This is normal for a lot of Asian kids I believe. My original plan was to finish school but due to personal setbacks and mistakes I got kicked out(this they don’t know). Lately I’ve been reading a lot of books and I’m realizing the potential I always had to learn anything quick, so I plan on going back someday, but they’re not hearing any of it. Education is everything to these people. I told mom about my mental health issues I was going thru and she says “it don’t mater, just stop thinking about it”.. lol can you believe it.

Anyways I plan on moving out asap, I have a stable job, currently saving & build my coding skills. Any tips on how to navigate this situation would be extremely helpful!
