I'll assume you're Asian? Cause this thing is the only thing that still happen in Asia. Even with me, my parents are the same.

My big sis and cousin get this being the ones who didn't really make much of themselves

OP here. What do you guys suggest for me to do?

You moved abroad at 13?

>>18246655
Yeah. Had some family-friends to live with for the first years and show me the ropes.

>>18246667
And you and your family friends didn't talk to your family about how you were doing?

>>18246676
In the first early years, yeah (mostly my mother). But after working full time and going to school, it just dwindled to strictly my mother.

I'm not worried about my mother, but it's everyone else (uncles, aunts, cousins, etc) - our country is traditioned in talking down, snide remarks, etc.

I don't want to know anybody the fuck out and I don't want to make my mom look bad infront of them.

Unless you're willing to lie elaborately about what you've done, I'm afraid there's not really much you can do about them judging you and your mother. Where are you originally from?
