I sometimes wonder if immigrant families are really dysfunctional or if American ideas of function are weird.

That's not to diminish the dysfunction that does actually exist and hurts us. Even if your family is saintly, immigration is often traumatizing af, and that gets passed on to the kids.

That being said, when I hear a family is dysfunctional for believing the kids should stay close to the family unit or being generally up in each others' business, I think that's culturally closed-minded.

Immigration is traumatizing and even more traumatizing for people who have already gone through some s**t. My mother's life back in her country sounds like a nightmare. (Being a victim of sexual assault, witnessing sexual assault, marriage and pregnancy issues...) She reminds me heavily of Abuela.

I like the collectivist aspects of my culture. I don't agree with people who say that I should only think of myself - that's just not how that works - maybe that's the guilt and shame talking, I don't know. At the same time, I've been fighting for a while to even have the right to go to therapy because said mother thinks a conversion to her religion would solve all of my problems. And so on
