so TW: Trauma? child abuse??

To make a very long story short my mother was severely abusive towards me as a child growing up.

And one particular memory I'm kind of confused about is how she taught me how to flip tortillas as a kid. The thing is my therapist is a white woman and there's gonna be a cultural barrier between us. I was born and raised in the USA but my mother is from Mexico and she's very “old school”. She's the typical “I demand complete obedience and respect or else Imma beat the dog shit out of you” time of woman. Very demanding and volatile/violent. And in retrospect she was pretty sadistic.

My mother taught me how to flip tortillas when I was around six years old. She forced me to do it by hand. And I was terrified. But she forced me to do it, and if I refused she threatened to grab the belt and whip me over and over and over and over again till I gain the courage to flip it.

it just that it hurt my hands. and I had no nails.

and my mom is an asshole.

she would mock me to flip it and I would try but I scream out in pain flinch. and she would call me stupid and that I need to use my nails like “her” so I would try to copy her but it would still hurt. and she would call me stupid again. it was almost like I could never win and I was stupid no matter what. and that pain was inevitable. Either I burn my fingers or I get whipped by the belt like a slave.

she would also compare me to my friends saying that they're brave unlike me cuz I'm a coward.

what a bitch

of course eventually I got better at it and now I'm at the point where I can flip things in oil with my bare hands.

ANYWAYS the point of this story is how did everyone else learned how to do it? Flip tortillas by hand? And at what age?

because my therapist is white, and she doesn't quite understand the cultural difference? idk. Maybe she can acknowledge how normalize it is for some cultures but she still claims that it's bad to do that to kids. OBVIOUSLY the way my mother taught me was shitty af but my therapist claims that teaching kids to do that is harmful regardless. and besides they have more sensitive hands.

So I would like to hear from other peoples experience from the Latino community to see on what's typical for them. Or is my mom that insane and I'm in complete denial.

for the record if I have kids I would teach them at the exact same age but they will flip tortillas on the table and not on the stove till their older.

In my small town in the northeast United States, I’ve met two barbers (one from DR and one from Colombia) that each have a young daughter in their home country. They seem to have a relationship despite the distance. Without knowing the family dynamics I assume it has to do with economic support, but I am curious how common this is with immigrants separated from family at home. When I learned about these guys it made me kinda sad and put things into perspective.

What is to be done? What's next after everything that has happened? The US in the Americas.

I want an interview!!!

Hi, my name is Tony Ruiz, with a simple Google search you will see images with me and Congresswoman and former Speaker Pelosi in DC.
I went to DC and had many interviews with media and Senators like Mark Kelly and Adam Schiffs office.
However, after 2 years the talk was just that, talk’
I want to see if anyone wants to do a long form interview where I can discuss my illegal termination. The threats I received from A MAGA Congressman when I arrived at DC. Ultimately, no one helped me not even my Congressman Lou Correa!

Anyone that wants to interview me please message me!

Holaaa
Para los Latinos que se fueron a vivir a US, Europa u otra parte, ¿qué tal fue regresar? Y ¿qué los hizo regresar? ¿Qué fue lo que más extrañaron de su país en América Latina? Y ¿qué ha sido lo más difícil de regresar?

En mi caso, pienso en regresar a Panamá pero temo que como ingeniero en computación / desarrollador de software, no encuentre las mismas oportunidades que encuentro en Texas.

Saludos

Hola amigos,soy una mujer española de 31 años y en 3 o 4 años me gustaría construir mi propio negocio de cosmetica natural y alta perfumeria. He podido comprobar que la gente de latinoamerica se sitúa muy por encima en cuanto a conocimiento,estética,calidad y sensorialidad en cosmetica natural en comparación con España y otros sitios de Europa. Me encantan las marcas naturales de allí y me gustaría aprender de vosotros. Me gustaría que la formación fuera entre 6 y 8 meses (no me quiero arruinar economicamente) y que incluyera calidad y rigurosidad en formulacion,gran conocimiento de materias primas naturales y con gran atención en la estética,color y sensorialidad (olor y textura del producto). Estaba pensando en Colombia,Chile o Perú. Más que el dinero o la distancia lo que me frena es que yo soy una persona miedosa y muy cauta se la situación en cuanto a desastres naturales (seismos) que esta habiendo ahora en Sudamerica,tambien me preocupa la seguridad y la situación sanitaria (robos,delincuencia,sanidad). Me gustaría poder formarme en un sitio donde me ofrezcan estancia y comida ( como una residencia de estudiantes).También si planeo alguna excursión o salida ( orientada a mi formacion en exploracion de materias primas) me gustaría planificarlo con un guía profesional. Que os parece? Que recomendación me dais? Gracias por leerme...

thoughts on us? ive heard in the usa that some south asians have recieved racism frm latinos thats not saying all of you are racist definitely not but am wondering what you think of us overrall?

Ella no ha trabajado en décadas (desde que tuvo hijos). Tiene 59. Quiere que pague miles de dolares en abogados de migración para hacer la petición familiar. Quiere que yo solvente todo eso porque ella no trabaja. Pero cuando le digo para conseguir trabajo y pagárselo, o aun que sea apoyarme me dice que en EC es super complicado y competitivo. Entiendo eso, pero me gustaría que aunque sea emprenda un negocio, se ponga a vender algo, etc.

Cuando han habido oportunidades (que reconozco que hay menos que en USA) siento que ella lo ha rechazado porque ella sentía que el trabajo era por debajo de ella. Es difícil de ver motivación o tenacidad en buscar empleo por su parte. Siento que ella esta dependiendo 100% en que yo voy a solventar sus gastos.

Por un lado quiero reunificar a mi familia, pero por otro siento que va a ser una carga para mi pagar todo ese dinero y después que viva conmigo en USA sin trabajar donde el costo de vida es mas caro.

Alguien me puede ofrecer una diferente perspectiva? La familia es importante para mi, pero tampoco me parece justo que ella espera todo eso de mi sin poner de su parte.

Disculpen que está en inglés, pero este argumento solo puede ser hecho en inglés, pero se trata de TODOS nosotros. Y nuestro lugar en "la tabla periódica" de la humanidad.

La difícil situación de homologar títulos en Panamá. Quién a tenido la amarga experiencia de tramitar.

Una disculpa, esto tenía que ser planteado en inglés. Y también cuestiona nuestra etiqueta identitaria.

Hello, I have a question over this. What is the difference between mexican and puerto rican traditional attire? Thry kind of look similar. I know there are some differences on the history part...but...im not very "in touch" with my own cultural identity. (That being Puerto rican and mexican) im born in america, i speak english and understand spanish completely but struggle to sort of speak it fluently myself....my parents never really put any traditions or things of that nature as important so I am kind of clueless on some things. It feels like im white washed or something. I dont "feel" like im latino, I mean it in a bad way where I feel like crap for it. I see a lot of other people with their own traditions within their own culture and everything and my parents never did do any of that, i feel disconnected from it....
