What is a patriarchal family like?

I was born and raised in such a family. Although my relatives will gossip, my parents still love me and take care of me with all their strength. I am very happy.

My mother and my aunt got pregnant almost on the same day and went to the temple to ask for a visa. My mother's sign shows that she is pregnant with a boy, and my aunt's sign shows that she is pregnant with a girl. My aunt eagerly looked at my mother's signature. My mother changed her signature with my aunt regardless of whether she had a boy or a girl. Miraculously, I am a girl, and my aunt really gave birth to a boy.

When I was born, someone hugged me and lamented that it was not a boy. My grandfather directly retorted that he liked his granddaughter, and no one dared to say my gender from then on. My relatives came to visit me and told me that I must have a second child in the future. One was named after his father, and his mother replied directly: I don't have your last name, so why bother; I want to buy a suite again. Some people insinuate: My dad doesn't care what room to buy for his daughter. He pays the down payment for the house and registers it directly in my name.

Facing the opportunity to go abroad, my English is average, and I am 27 years old. People around me advised my parents to let me get married early, but my parents supported me mentally and financially. In my mother's words, girls will be open-minded when they are well informed. No matter what decision I make, they will support me unconditionally as long as it can make me progress.

My mother's relatives are completely patriarchal, but my mother fucked them herself. My parents hate it. Fortunately, I have my parents and grandpa to protect me. I know that I have even encountered the feeling of being neglected or even treated unfairly by some relatives because I am a girl, but at the same time I enjoy the care and care given by people who love me, even more than boys in the same family.

I am a lucky girl. My parents poured all their resources into me, cultivated my skills, gave me a place to live and poured all their love into me. I only hope that I can respect myself and love myself, and I can live a good life no matter what the future holds.
