So don't be too hard on your parents people... My mom had nearly 10 years to get me papers if she had followed one of the few ways it was possible back in the days. But she just didn't know how or what to do(most of our parents weren't computer savvies like us).People make mistakes, if you consider your parents so bad for fucking up your papers status, compare them to the parents that abandon their kids. To the dads that leave their wives, or the moms that throw their babies in dumpsters... you'll quickly see that the person who brought you here is nothing less than a hero, for risking their own sake to give you a better future. So if you blame your parents(like most of us did at a certain point) realize that it's too late to be mad now. It's up to us to take control of our own lives and get it done right, for ourselves.

When I turned 10, my father left me with my American citizen relatives, while he went back to Thailand (that was the last time I saw him). Since my father never came back to the states, he lost his PR status.
When I tried to apply for a driver's license in High School, I couldn't. My American citizen relatives explained to me that the only step left in my PR was an interview with the neutralization department, which required a biological parent. I was estranged from both my parents, because they left me, so there was no way I could proceed. I was so mad at everybody in my family, who kept this secret from me. I was angry at my dad, my American Citizen relatives who knew from the very beginning when my dad left and what that meant for my life. Growing up in the States, my home, and to be denied equal opportunities like my peers, and working hard to show that I am worth something and then to be repeatedly turned down and not accepted was hard. I'm now 23 years old, attending UT at Austin, studying Music/ Nutritional Sciences/ Pre-Dental. It's been 16 years since I saw my mom, 13 years since I've seen or spoken to my dad. The only family members that I somewhat feel that I can trust and be safe is my American citizen brother, one of my uncle from Thailand, school, one of my college professor, and a few truly best friends. Other than these people and things, I keep my thoughts and feelings bottled up and most of the time "just deal with it and suck it up". I said this many times, counselors helped, especially when I was getting suicidal thoughts |
