Hi CW,
Thank you for your reply!
Over the last two months, my boyfriend and I have experienced many challenges that has strengthened our relationship. Now, we both feel more strongly about this relationship and would like to stay together, if everything permits. He has been helping me with my family issues by giving me emotional support, but he has never once suggested that I'd stay in the U.S. solely for him. In fact, he said he would seriously consider moving to HK with us if I really end up moving with my parents. Even so, I think it would be really hard for him because he has been in the U.S his whole life and Asia is a totally different world to him...
I'd love to take your advice and ask my parents to allow me to find a job and try it out a little first... but my parents have always been these authoritative figures to me and I always feel intimidated/scared to let them know what I think in fear of getting them upset. I really wish that I can just be open to them about everything, but knowing from past experiences that it would only lead to arguments and strife, I can never be as open to them as I'd like to...
