Growing up in an Asian household, Fiona Kong felt voiceless. 🗣️Her father's constant abuse taught her to avoid attention from her environment.
The lack of validation led to a shyness that was more than just a personality trait; it was a survival mechanism. Invisibility became her refuge, a sanctuary from the negative attention that was her father's hallmark.
When she finally broke free in her early twenties, she was socially stunted, a novice in a world she was ill-prepared for. 🌏 Her first relationship mirrored the abusive dynamics she had grown accustomed to.
When people ask, "Why does the woman go back?" it's because they don't understand the simple, heartbreaking truth 💔- it's what she knows, it's her comfort level.
This narrative is a stark reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and breaking stereotypes. It's a call to action for us all to be more understanding, empathetic, and supportive.
