Date: 2008-04-30 05:37 am (UTC)So for 3 years and 1 day they are not allowed to come home (if there is an illness or death in the family they are allowed to come but can only stay for 3 days before hitting the road again).
Apart from working and traveling through Europe and in the early nineties some of the Eastern countries, my step brother also went to India and wanted to go to Malaysia and the Philippines but ran out of money - besides his English wasn't that good.

Of course, any family with a son or daughter (since the 1990s there are also women on the road) on the Walz see others they mostly invite them in for dinner or give them some money in the hopes that their child will receive the same kindness from someone else. Besides that is a way of keeping in touch.
My parents were surprised when my step brother said he was taking to the road, and later when he came back he said, he was inspired by me going off to the UK working as an au.pair girl and then working as a temp in Glasgow. It surely made him grow up and get more confident and I personally think it was a good idea of him. We had a very psychologically abusive childhood. My stepfather (Andrew's father) is like a tyrant, he always wants to be right even if he is down right wrong and even though he never laid hands on us, he tried to destroy or confidence in other ways. Like telling my stepbrother he was no good as a cabinet maker or telling me I was too dumb to ever study. He wanted marionettes for his cabinetmaking business (I even had an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker when I was 16 but went on to high school to get my final exam to study at university). With me going off to the UK and making my mind up what I want to do (study English Literture and Language) and Andrew going off on the Walz, we both liberated ourselves. It was for both of us the first free choice we made (well for me it was the second as I rebelled against becoming a cabinetmaker when I was 16).
but if I had become a cabinetmaker, I would have probably taking to the road as well. It is an opportunity not to be missed.

Date: 2008-04-30 09:01 am (UTC)Unfortunately, my step brother killed himself in 1994. He had moved to Switzerland after being on the road for so long and had met a woman there. Unfortunately, she was a cheater and a player and when he found out, he went up into the mountains and killed himself (that is why I can't watch the last minutes of Karei-naru as Andrew killed himself in the same manner as Teppei, mountains, snow and rifle and all). I think one of the additional reasons why he killed himself was the lack of self-confidence. His father (my step father) had scraped away at his self-confidence for the longest time. When I returned from my stint in the UK, I moved diretly into a co-hab with friends. These five years at my stepfather's home were enough for me. Besides, my parents didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore after I told them I was going to study.
Well you sure proved him wrong! You are one of the most intelligent and skilled woman I know and I have the highest admiration for you.
Thank you *blush*. I guess even if you are dumb as a door nail in maths (it's true in my case) you can study :D
Re: Rebellion
I think rebellion always depends on what is necessary and what not and of course, of which cultural background you are coming from. If I had parents who had supported and understood me then I would have never rebelled. When I was a kid my great-grandparents were my surrogate parents and I would never ever rebelled against them. Of course they had set rules, but these rules were reasonable. They supported me, shaped me, made me into the person I am now. My mater on the other hand was always absent chasing men. I guess when I was in my teens I quickly realized that for all it is worth, I knew I couldn't depend on my mater or on my stepfather.
With your cultural background you pushed the envelope already very far when you went out with D. for so long. It is easy to leave home and to not see your parents for a long time (like in my case) but is it much more difficult to stand by your man AND be friendly with your parents and face the questions, the reproaches etc. I rebelled in an easy way, I left and with leaving I tried to ignore/forget the whole issue. You on the other hand faced it day in, day out and that I highly admire that.
