I used to argue with my mom everyday about this.

I brought it up again yesterday and made her mad.

She knows it's her fault and I'm never gonna forgive her if I'm forced to leave the country.

fuck the us. setting up puppet democracies in our home countries making working conditions horrible and then devaluing our currencies. thus forcing our coward governments to accept loans from the imf and since they couldn't pay off those loans give away our natural resources, which then forces the majority of us to flee to find some sort of decent living conditions......................................................



























...............just kidding, i get along with my folks.......sometimes.

It's very tough, I try as much as possible to not bring up my status around them since I get very angry about the situation. Everyone in my immediate family but me has their status here so that burns tremendously. They really don't understand how Immigration Laws work.
They don't understand that I have a 10-year ban waiting for me plus the years it takes to adjust.

It's frustrating but what can you do? We did not chose this but we still have to live with the consequences. Thankfully some of us can return if things don't work out here.

I thought I was the only one.

Well, it's too late now. Being angry won't help. We have two options: Stay here and learn how to deal with it or leave.

I have to wait it out guys. I know I can accomplish my career goals in other countries, but it is more than that to me. It is really personal against some of my stupid relatives who wish chaos and destruction upon me and want me to leave. They want me to prove them right--that I never amounted to anything here but that their anchor children did. I cannot leave because it is personal; it is not only about having a great career, making good money, and driving fancy cars. It is about proving some "efen" people wrong. Call me stubborn, but I am waiting for the indirect form of revenge, and as we all know, revenge is the sweetest joy.

Well I don't think anybody is really stopping you from leaving. If you don't like the life your parents gave you then by all means go back and see for yourself. You just have to be more open minded and understanding about their perspective of coming and building a life here instead of your homeland.

I've learned that's a waste of time and energy... don't be angry or depressed, take charge. And don't hate them, you never know what can happen tomorrow

I'm 30 and I get along with my folks now compared to when I was younger. I guess it's having your own child that you get to realize what your folks did and spoke to you when you were younger. I just hope I don't have to be like mom in raising my boy. Too much drama way back then.

One time my dad and I were talking to a counselor who knew about my status and my dad said something like "It's my fault" and I felt so good lol. She then explained that my dad only wanted to give me a better life but I don't buy that crap. I don't want to discredit all the hard work my parents have done but honestly they don't love each other, they never did and if there is such a thing as having second-hand regret I have it for them for ever having me. Sounds rough, but if they really had my best interest at hand they would have separated a long time ago. It is what it is though.

The worst part is that my mom thinks it's a completely normal and viable way of existing. Yes I agree, there are worse positions to be in but she can't expect me to be like everyone else (i.e. documented friends of mine) when I simply am not. She lives in a delusion and does nothing to help me. We are in the same situation and instead of support I get criticism. I hope it gets better for you though.
