Creative consitpation

Being a creative and with the lack of work coming in, I have been inspired to create in all facets. I have been dabbled with culinary arts for awhile now, and now I will challenge myself to bake again!

I was raised by Korean immigrant parents and I was born in the US. Growing up, there were a lot of fights that my mother could not understand. I guess the older generation was a breed of codependency. Where children pleased their parents and sought their parents' approval on everything: school, career, who they dated, marriage. Being obedient is what defined a "good son/daughter". Me on other hand did nothing previously mentioned. By her definition, I was the "bad daughter". After years of screaming and door slamming, I explained to her that we had a culture clash and we were brought up in different realities. I told her that this was my life and I was going to live it MY WAY. I don't think she understands the whole codependency issue because she still says "you used to be such a good child. I don't know what happened". I may not a "good child" by her definition but I sure am a happy independent child.
