Aita for not wanting to help my parents at all
My parents came here many years ago and they refused to learn english. They lived in an Asian town and then during my highschool years they moved us to a white neighborhood. Growing up i was their personal translator and doing things kids shud not be doing. TILL THIS DAY the only time they talk to me is if they need help with something... (translation) and I told them im done. I told them if they cant speak english go back to the Asian neighborhood we used to live in.
Idk why but sometimes I feel bad cause I see them as helpless but at the same time im done cause 1. Im not even close to them and 2. They manipulate me into helping them giving me the "look at me im poor and old and my own kid doesn't want to help. What if I get scammed. Idk anything blah blahhhh" speech.
Idk how to disassociate myself with these feelings
