    This song really hits me in the most delicate spot. My mom is the root of all of my trauma and I tried over and over again to communicate with her that what she did to me was not okay. She is homophobic and narcissistic. Unfortunately I had to accept that she will never apologize to me. Well, at least not any time soon. I'm not going to hope that she finally apologizes to me on her deathbed.

      unfortunately, the bad part about family is that you don't choose them; what you get is what you got. the lesson is that, whoever you wind up bein family to in the future--chosen or biological--be the best family you're capable of being. and as someone who had such a bad falling out with my mother that we didn't speak for a year, and who definitely sabotaged my upbringing in several ways and a slew of other shit: while you don't have to and she well may not even deserve it, consider givin your old lady a break if she does apologize. a lot of our old folks are fucked up from their own bullshit ass upbringings.

      So sorry you went through that but we are never alone in dysfunctional upbringing. I also have trauma from my upbringing and my relationship with both of my parents were never great b/c they never wanted to change or get the help they needed to get past their own generational trauma and to function the way best needed from their own children rather than the other way around😢

    Saw Rina live this past Thursday and didn't hear this song before and it wrecked me. I was mostly raised by my single Japanese mother and was disowned 5 years ago. I understand why she is the way she is, she grew up in 50s America. She had me in her mid 40s and even before she had me she did so much. I am her youngest child. She was a first in many things, first Asian American woman to earn a Music masters in Washington and one of the first Asian American teachers and she worked full time and several side jobs to make ends meet. She did everything she could and I know she wanted what's best for me. She reached out to me this past year and said she missed how we used to be and said I should seek God and conversion therapy and it's just...she's in her 70s now. I know she doesn't have all that much time left but at the same time...yeah. My mother wasn't an immigrant, she's second generation but enough of this related to me that I was weeping when I heard this song.

      i don’t believe that it is the right way to express it but I don’t necessarily think that it is owing to them specifically, not everyone is a copy or a blend. in my opinion she is actually way better than most of them (this is not a competition we are not pitting women against each other) but whatever you suggest may be true in some points

    She's just, such an admirable person for making it as a musician when this much stuff was against her. Her music gives me more inner strength, and I like how all the female music artists just keep going despite all the favoritism constantly being against them and no one just calling them geniuses like they deserve.
