That’s quite sad, I am sorry your parents couldn’t work better together. I am sure that your father’s intentions were good and I bet if your mom had supported him more with learning English early on, he wouldn’t have been so strict about keeping you isolated from your culture and family. Marriage, like children should both come with how-to guides.

It’s never to late to reconnect with your roots. Did you keep in contact with your extended family?
