Comment on Chinese parents love to dismiss mental illness, but simultaneously love to threaten to "send their 'misbehaving' kid to a mental hospital".

  Sometimes I read the Jennifer Pan case and I can emphathize with her…

  But no I have no support system… Even Jennifer had friends… I don’t…

  I don’t even trust the government welfare system…

  Do you know how fucked the laws are? My Citizenship is entangled with my mother’s. If she gets denaturalized, I lose mine too…

  Roomate? what the fuck man… seems like a great way to get murdered…

  I wanna reroll this dice… Norweigians have it sooo goood…

  Thanks a lot, conservatives… great fucking job…

  Honestly now I think about it… with how bad her English is, I’ll just call the cops myself and say she’s having a bipolar episode.

  Just have the #AmericanCops come and shoot us all dead… wanna play with fire, sure…

  Bitch literally told me to go to court with her to “translate” or whatever…

  Last time my brother was so threatening and made me so scared… I just dialed 911… but I got scared so I hanged up before I got too far… and mom assumed they were on the way and was like: “why the fuck did you call?” “oh great you’re both (me and my brother) are gonna go to jail”

  So she clearlt doesn’t wanna involve authorities…

  I don’t know if she even dares to call.

  Wanna go against the native-level English speaker…

  I doubt she can even explain it besides “ooh my son is misbehaving” and I’m gonna be like “Officer, sorry for this my mom is kinda bipolar and she refuses to seek mental healthcare because… you know… their culture is kinda fucked up and backwards… good day officer… sorry for all the troubles”

  Yea how is she gonna make the cops side with her…

  Seriously she asked me if I wanna go visit China with them next month… nah no thanks… pretty sure its a trap… I feel like the moment the moment I step foot in that country, she’s gonna have complete control…

  enjoy your firewall and pollution…

    Never call the cops, you can call for an ambulance for mental health in most countries. You just have to say they’re not dangerous and you’re worried they might have taken something.

    If they go off at the paramedics, they might call the cops, but at least your loved one will have that buffer and context that can stop them getting shot.

      Oh my mom does want me to get shot maybe

      I mean if she truely unconditionally loved me, the she wouldn’t be threatening to disinherit me for having depression… so my parents, probably most ethnic Chinese parents, their love was always conditional…
