About your comment on me being a dutiful daughter: I was not then. I fought tooth and nail to not be brought home. I tried to escape.
This was of course in my home country, where nobody interferes with other peoples family business. You are from SF area, I am sure you are familiar with traditional Asian culture.
But looking back, I appreciate how they saved me from ruining my life. Turns out my BF then became a wife beater! What a narrow escape!
