SO here it goes,
I moved to north america in my early preteens with my family. All my siblings were in late teens when they moved. The only memory I have of back home is childhood- going to school, playing with friends, dinner and go to sleep ANND repeat. I have no memory or understanding of the ideology of back home. Being brought over to a new country at such a young age meant that as i grew up my thinking, values, ideas, and awareness was north american. I was the youngest of my family to immigrate with them.
As I grew up, I felt more and more disconnected from the way my family and siblings think and the way i think and see the world. Values and things i believe in are ridiculed or silenced in my "indian" family. Im in my 20s now and I just feel so isolated. i feel so stuck around people that never have, dont, and never will understand me. Every ideal i have i have to fight for in my family. I feel like the odd one out bc being the youngest to move, my thinking is so different from them. I just wanna know if im the only one or if theres other people like me and how you all deal with it- the disconnect, the struggle.
