I have been introduced to american pop music, and movies since i was young in back in Asia. and I became obssessed with them as they were my only escape in my depressing life I had back then. so I dreamt of coming to US and started studying english as encouraged by my dad as he felt english was an important skill..which I agree.
then when I turn 17, my mother showd me a cut out article from newspaper about exchange student program. I was excited as I had been anticipating it so for long. so I left the country at the age of 17 by myself where I was raped, used, etc by random people who seemed to be connected somehow. then after yrs later, I became the typical sexual , trafficking victim. I guess what I am trying to understand is...my family seem to have sold me into this.
my dad is bit crazy and so is my mom.
my dad used to show me a lot of love and no love to my mother..so I thought maybe she sent me off to another country because she was jealous and unloved and hated me as she always secretly did.
I only talk to her like once a yr and whenever i tell her about this traumatic incident I have in my life, she just tells me to cheer up and that things will get better, look to the positive side and that I will go to grad school etc. I understand that thier lives are difficult and there is not much they can do as family for my misfortune..but..
I am starting to get the feeling that..I am naive to believe that they are good naive people who has a strong faith in me and who want to make my dream come true despite of thier financial circumstance..but remain non-communicative with her daughter studying alone in foreign nation. they spent tons of money on me while I was going college at first..but that money might have come from traffickers too.
Ive done so much drug during the trafficking and slavery period that I became very paranoid to the point where I think everybody is somehow connected to this type of thing.
can you tell me what I am missing here? my family did move to bigger house after i moved..and bought cars etc. I was never forced to study as hard as my bro and sister. and was completely isolated and kept by them and pretty much sheltered. (altho I studied english very hard)
it just shocks me that my sis and bro are living normal lives back in asia while i became a victim who has nobody to depend on.
