Chicksrock,

I wish more Nepalese understood that it is possible for us to have abusive parents. I feel that more Nepalese need to understand that not all parents are equally worshippable. This way, as a society we would be more sensitive to child abuse. And also we would be more willing to look for ways to prevent the kinds of things that you and I have gone through while living in Nepali society.

But in many ways in Nepal, people feel that as long as you have money then all the problems in life can be solved. But both you and I come from well to do families. And money is not the problem. But since in Nepal there is little concept of problems that arise from other things like money, very few people understand what people like me and you talk about in relation to our parents.
