    Her mother has absolutely poisoned this woman’s whole life

      It happens from childhood. All fears of damnation are vividly pushed on the family. The parent’s beliefs become the child’s truths. Strange codependence builds. And the cycle repeats. The radicalized child becomes the radicalized parent.

    The toxicity that 1st generation Asian Americans have to work through is so intense. Glad these two are getting help but I think so many of us needed it so long ago.

    Poor girl, traumatized by a toxic mother. Strong boundaries with the mom is the only way.

    Your mother is very likely living with severe mental health disregulation. She needs help, although regardless of what she is open to, it's healthy to keep your boundaries with her.

    Why were they all ever living under the same roof?? The wife doesn’t want him to suppress his feelings but he HAD to suppress his feelings to tolerate her mother. If he didn’t suppress his feelings, he would’ve left her a long time ago.

    • @RegisterRedVoteBlue

      I'm guessing cultural/financial reasons???

      It’s cruel. If she can’t change, let this man go and remain locked in the dance with her mother. But free this man. He doesn’t deserve it.

    • @hamidahamida5950

      I'm surprised he's still with her. Sounds like living with his MIL is a hellish reality, day in day out.

    • @Bunny11344
      @Bunny11344 2 місяці тому +2

      It’s a cultural thing. Asian families usually take care of their elder.. in her case, she should put her mom in a home

  • @user-ef5id9km3p
    @user-ef5id9km3p 2 місяці тому +11

    If the mother is a Christian, has she read the verse in the bible that says that a man (and woman) should leave their parents and be joined to each other as one flesh?

  • @keliaos

    Looks like a REALLY good series... unfortunately it's not available to stream in every country. it would be great if this issue could be considered, because there are still many stereotypes around therapy and many people don't get the support they need because of this. Such a well made series could help to get therapy a better imagine and of course more people watch the series.

    People need to get serious help before they get into a relationship and drag someone else down. It's not your partner's responsibility to fix your issues because they will become collateral damage. Relationships shouldn't be this complicated.

    • @benjamingardner3314
      @benjamingardner3314 Місяць тому +4

      It's not that perfect though. Some issues don't even surface until you have another person in your life. It's like physics: calculating the movement of one body is far easier and more predictable than two. A true relationship is a paradigm shift, you learn shit about yourself and you behave in ways, good or bad, you never thought you would. What is important is that when you see your partner is hurting, you are willing to seek help and engage in resolving the conflict with them, whether that means sustaining the relationship or not.

  • @orangecountyhouse
    @orangecountyhouse 3 місяці тому +44

    These two are clearly in love with each other. They need to keep working at their relationship - probably need to set some goals together. I'm not getting that whole mom /Christian thing. It sounds like a mask for something else. Obviously the mom/daughter relationship is toxic.

    • @BearingMySeoul

      Yup. Her mom is under demonic influence.

    • @TenTenJ
      @TenTenJ 2 місяці тому +4

      Yeah, it’s definitely something else. Nothing fits. Christianity is society’s scapegoat fill in for every screwed up problem they can’t solve on their own.

    Love, a universal human experience, is a complex emotion that encompasses a wide range of feelings, from the euphoria of new beginnings to the comforting warmth of enduring companionship. It manifests in various forms, including romantic, familial, platonic, and agape love, each with its unique characteristics. Love challenges us to grow, to embrace vulnerability, and to discover our capacity for compassion. While love's journey is not without its trials, it is a precious gift that enriches our lives and connects us to one another.

    The end!! When Orna asks Why would she did not want sex for herself, this isn’t about You. She not wanting sex is percibes as a problem for her partner and I never think in that way… as orna Says, it is a problem for herself in firs place Wow!

    Mother is terrible.. Get rid of mother. Toxic, personality disordered.. Wife needs to grow up and stop acting like a 10 year old child. Wife needs to make her husband a priority not her toxic mother. Never let your parents dictate how you live your adult life

    Don’t get involved if you have unresolved issues that will negatively color the relationship. The other person deserves better. No sex for years is cause for a divorce.

    Shame that comes from a mother your entire life runs deep. I wish I could say I don’t understand but unfortunately I do. I hope they can get through this.

    Wait, why does her mom think the baby is going to die? Maybe I don’t understand bc I’m not Christian, but what does it have to do with the Bible?

      It has nothing to do with Christianity. She's trying to manipulate them by using the Bible, but the Bible is about life and life after life. I am interested in what biblical scripture she's using to justify her behavior. I'm sorry that she's doing that to her daughter and son-in-law.

    • @TenTenJ
      @TenTenJ 2 місяці тому

      That was bullsh1t is what it was. Supposedly the mother is a Christian. I will bet she is not simply a devout Christian worried about her child’s redemption. They don’t want to use the word she actually is.

      To show that these struggles are human and to anyone who's suffering knows that they're not alone? That there CAN be a resolution to the suffering?
