About Asian parents. I reckon that building mental happiness still rely on oneself, despite it could be hard or even impossible to achieve, one should still have a try. 

Today I suggested to my parents that we should replace the broken door with a new one. The house is old, but the door is the first one to be broken (of course, in my standard). The door is out of shape and the gravity keeps opening it. Before it can't close, we added a spring to help the door fight against gravity, but due to human error, one day the spring flies away and we never saw it again. To my parents standard, the door is still operable if we find the spring.

However, it's the same people, my parent complained to me during the winter, said the door is out of shape and won't hold any hot air. The room is bloody cold. At that time, I don't have any income yet. But now I have.

I don't know what triggered my parents. Today they desperately want to stop me, not willing to replace the god damn broken door. And I think I was mentally hurt during the conversation.

@skyblond 🙁 Always tough to deal with a situation like this. Hope this'll get resolved soon. Take care of yourself!

Thanks! I'll try to address this thing again tomorrow, before my father get drunk.

Context: My father like alcohol. Although I told him several times that drinking liquor AND beer EVERYDAY is extremely bad, he thought it's ok and refused to make a change. That's also a common fuse of the quarrel.
