Her mum is an insurmountable obstacle to her. Her mum curfews
her and the days she can go out is only sunday... She has argued
with her mum many times about this and both of them broke down and
cry. She loves her mother very much and to her, her mother is the
closest family member. But whenever she tries to talk calmly to her
mum, her mum would not listen. Her mum would say things like "you
wanna go out be a ah lian ah?" "you go la go. best you go den dun
return, i take it that i never gave birth to you!" ... She wants a
little more freedom to go out with her friends, to be able to stay
a little later into the night. She would call her to tell her where
she is going, what time she be back. But her mum refuse to listen.
And she is very sad because she dont want to disobey her, to make
her angry, worried.. yet she yearns for freedom.. something that
was taken away from her 7 years ago...
She just told me she got nothing to look forward to anymore...she
dreads going home, dreads going to work...she is breaking down...
