Bruha Baddies

I just started listening to your podcast and ya’ll mentioned being cut-off since you’re the youngest sibling (bunso). As I am too. My parents came to the US in the late 70’s leaving 5 of my siblings behind to be raised by my grandmother on my mom’s side. I then was born, and only one born in the US. I too was then raised by my grandma (on my dad’s side) in the Bay Area. During that time though, my parents were hella hustling - finding work all over California. My siblings were brought here to the US in the mid 80’s and by the early 90’s I was cut-off by not understanding my siblings and the way they were raised. My dad and mom would always say, “you wouldn’t understand because you’re the only one born here.” Again, I grew up without knowing my siblings very well. I felt alone. I didn’t want to be in the medical field after high school, I was shunned. I wanted to be in the architectural and engineering industry. I put myself to work, bought my own house when I was 24. Been living alone until I became engaged. Dude, my parents or my siblings never even spent a night or a weekend at my house! Where are they now? Living in the same city as my parents. I repeat history, I lived on my own again. “Cause I’m an American, I wouldn’t understand.”
