Been screwed over countless times by various members and yet again it happened. Stupid Vietnamese culture and the ingraining of the respect for elders. Need to realize that its different with American culture and lifestyles.

It's your culture...you are obligated to let family screw you over.<shrug>

Me, I tell them all to get fucked...

I was naive to think my mom wouldn't have done something like, fuck me out of 8 grand, and destroy my relationship of 8 years, among other things. It's only a matter of how she'll fuck me over next.

Fixed.

People can do awful things to us, but in general it's because we let them. Especially if you have reason to think they will...

Same goes for the OP.

when will you learn to stop being vague?

This, I came here expecting a good story, not a reflection on a Vietnamese-American that has not assimilated by not placing his elders that are "screwing him over" in a retirement home.

It's not unique to one culture, I've been hosed many times by my family. Many of my friends have as well(by theirs), it just seems to be hard to avoid. I finally gave up on my immediate family, but at some level I just really want to be able to trust them.

vietnamese are considered "Azn"?
i thought only chinese/korean/jap were Azn's.

Azn usually refers to immature insecure Asians who drive rice rockets, speak ebonics, spike their hair up, and generally act like douchebags. Although I think OP was oblivious to this when creating his AT name.

I have a $30k bad loan loss to my parents. It's not like I wasn't aware of the risk in the "investment" but no bad blood because I know they can't pay it and fuck they sacrificed a lot to raise me.
