I grew up as the only girl amongst four siblings. My parents, due to their religious and cultural beliefs, told me not to apply for college and expected me to become good at domestic chores, while they paid for my brothers’ tuition and other living expenses. I applied anyway and got a partial scholarship. I moved out, took a part-time job, and went into debt to get my degree. Years later, I am now pregnant with my first child, and my parents want to reconnect with me. I told them that their apologies don’t faze me and that they should transfer $100k to me for my college tuition if they want a relationship. | Bored Panda
