I am bitter towards my parents for this situation though, I've been denied many opportunities in the past not because I lacked merit but because of my status. My bitterness toned down after DACA took effect, but its a contentious issue in my house.
Are you chinese? dude, my parents were the same way growing up and my younger brother(born here) is like their favorite, because they were counting on him to get their papers. But family is family, man. Just talk to them and tell them how you feel. They are your parents after all. I totally get the "you should be thankful attitude" I mean I get it, they spend boatload of money getting me here, so thats really where the attitude came from.
