I hear you.
In my culture, good daughters stay - it is our duty and responsibility -
The fact is my culture does not value mental health, only selflessness especially if you are a woman -
It was only in the last few years that I learned about boundaries and how to not get entangled in the emotions and drama created by others - bottom line - I am not responsible for someone else's emotions even though I empathize
I love your writing, it has a great flow to it 😊💙👍
