My parents' riches

I'm thinking of asking my parents to remove myself from their pamana.

This is not an easy decision, but I think it's the right decision for me. When I don't care then I don't feel I have to supplicate to them. They tend to be overbearing... And when I don't care--utterly don't care about what they think of me--I feel I'm my own person--not someone who they want to be.

In addition, I feel I'm free to pursue whatever the fuck I want knowing that whatever I do will have no bearing whatsoever on whether I get anything from them.

That is how I'd want things.

It's an unpopular decision. And anything who might happen to read this might say how stupid I am. But it's what my heart is telling me.

Parents are known to give even when their children dislike it.

In the event they do leave you a considerable amount, why not just give it to charity under their name. It can still work, and you won't feel indebted to them. ^^

Are you back in the Phils. for good?
I haven't checked blogs for a while.

As far as I know, I'm back for good Steph. Going back to the US is not out of the question in the future though. Thanks for the idea!
