Cutting the ties off from my mother

I hated her. I hated her ever since I was a child. It's just that I'm actually servevely cutting off the ties from her, since she came from a Vietnamese background.

The problem is, unlike her, the current generation of Vietnamese girls and women, like myself and my older sis, are that more are giving more freedom and have the right to express themselves. Even, if they do not want to become doctors or anything useful, like teachers, it's just that for the first time, I can do whatever I want for my future. My dad seems to be okay with the situation, but never with my mother.

Why? She never experienced what true freedom is like. She doesn't know many current generation Vietnamese girls want to have the same experience as the normal British people and enjoy life. Why the hell does she think I'm going to apply a job at a worthless supermarket with low minimum wage?!

SHE DOESN'T EVEN REALISES I HAVE A SMALL TALENT IN TERMS OF BEING CREATIVE AND APPLYING THAT TO THE CANVAS!!! And doing an art and design foundation course in uni is a good choice, but she never understands! That's why I hate the past Vietnamese women who were restricted in their entire life!

Call me a black sheep, Vietnamese and British girls and women, but wake up! Break away the old society of Vietnamese life and explore the unknown, where your undiscovered talent will unlock yourself and be happy. Stand up to your Vietnamese mothers and tell them that you're not like them!

I've just discovered that the current generation ones are being oppressed, because of thier great talents, so I'm standing up and I'm telling my mother that their old ways of raising the children is too old for the society today and break the boundaries that surround and for once, reaching their favourite dream.
