this was made especially for those of us who cut ties with our shitty families, huh
i cried so much this whole episode. i know that i can't be in that house and be who i am at the same time, but the guilt and shame never really go away. i love that this episode said, wholeheartedly: fuck what society says, you should be wherever allows you to be happiest
anyway! you always hear that family estrangement is rare in asian communities, but i did it! and you can do it, too! dump your shitty family! i believe in you~

Mental illness is scary because after a while it becomes just Something You Live With. My grandma has probably been living with chronic depression for maybe 40 years, and she's spent that time feeling overwhelming guilty for all the ways she feels she's failed her kids, sat at home doing nothing, and just been this sad, hollow-looking person, who never asked for any help because she was scared of being a bother - even to her own doctor.
Then, a few months ago she finally started taking antidepressants and right now, at the age of 83, she's on a plane with two of her daughters on their way to Italy to see Pompeii. Two years ago she didn't even feel well enough to attend my brother's wedding a few hours away.
Take your meds, people. Nobody deserves to live like she's been living for so long, simply because she denied herself the medical help she needed.
Also yes, I am so envious that I'm not also on my way to see Pompeii
