Great to see a community about the Asian diaspora! (quokk.au)
 

Very cool to see such a space, hopefully it can become a good place to share experiences.

Some of the things only immigrant children understand is that parents someone just force you to be their free translator/interpreter... in c/casualconversation@piefed.social

“but you live here you really do need to know the language a bit???” (About the parents)

I've seen it reversed with English speakers moving to other countries and not bothering to learn the local language because they didn't see the point. And I'm not talking about Thailand, I'm talking about the Netherlands or Spain

Hey,

Sorry to hear you went through this, it's unfortunately quite common for immigrant children.

I was lucky enough that my parents knew the language of the country they moved to and lived on their own for a while before having me, but I know other people my age who definitely have a similar experience to yours.

By the way, I feel like an second generation Asian community is missing here on Lemmy/Piefed, would you like to start one with me? It could be a dedicated space to share such experiences between people who lived through them
