I’ve (26F) realized that I’ve allowed my parents to control (via manipulation / gaslighting / emotional blackmail) my life, including my career and to some extent, my marriage. I’m trying to heal, grieve and figure out what my next steps are with my relationships (my parents, my husband, myself and career). And yes, currently going to therapy to unpack all of this, but reading other people’s experiences help not only validate my own but also recall memories I’ve suppressed.
Books by BIPOC, immigrants and multi-ethnic authors are welcomed! (Because that’s me)
