Asian Daughter's Guilt
In Asian culture stemming from combination of Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist ethics, there’s a word called, “filial piety,” which means a virtue of respect for one’s parents, elders and ancestors. I know taking care of our aging parents are not at all unique to the Asian culture, yet there’s this unspoken expectation that weighs internally. I left home 40 years ago and established my life here in the U.S., which in itself could be considered, “unfaithful” to our parents perhaps a generation ago.
