So yeah I come from pretty f**ked up family. Dad is an economist but he's a salty lemon who doesn't really want me to succeed (I do kinda want to co-author with him in the future to gift him a nice field pub or something just bc he's my dad tho). Mom is crazy rich Asian but also is crazy as a person.
Obviously this environment isn't really conducive for academic pursuits and mental health. Got diagnosed with depression/ADHD during the COVID semester. On top I got forced to go home by my school so I was studying to do well in the midst of a dysfunctional time and dysfunctional family. I did initially get approval to stay at my school but parents figuring that the school would reimburse room and board, forced me to come down unless I wanted to pay school with 100% loans (they've constantly held my education hostage for demands) the next semesters.
Unfortunately, mom ended up actually interfering with my studying. She wanted me to help my brother cheat in the AP/IB exams for his school. I refused, saying that his exams are his job. My mom interpreted that as me "actively trying to ruin my brother's life" so she proceeded to make my study time a living hell from that time on and made me botch my exams up (disturbed me during a final, etc.). Her justification was that I'm already at a good college (I go to a HRM) so I can just get a decent job with my college name but because I prevented my brother from going to HRM, I deserve to pay the price with a f**ked up semester.
Ive always had problems with my parents, but I've been Afraid to tell anyone bc I don't want to harm my parents jobs or reputation. I'm also hesitant as I don't want people taking this in the wrong way.
I'm leaning towards taking the L and hiding this s**tty situation, but idk what you guys think about it
