My Estranged Parents Reached Out After 1 Year | Is This A Good Sign? | Brief Update

After being estranged from his parents for over a year due to their disapproval towards Justin's marriage, Justin received a letter from his father asking to see him. Are his parents reaching out after all this time to finally show acceptance of Justin's wife and daughters? Or is there something else going on?
Justin offers a brief update on his estranged parents, and the content of his father's letter to him.

    Honestly, he's probably only reaching out because he heard you're having a boy, which is a whole other level of toxicity. I personally wouldn't open my life back up to people who have disrespected my wife and daughters to that extent--I would either go alone to get my things and not come back, or I'd simply tell them to throw the stuff out so I could conserve my peace and energy. So sorry you're going through all this stress--I know it must be tough. Wishing you and your beautiful family well.

    I agree. I hate to bring race in it, but it is all about race. The fact that the kids don’t come out looking black but Asian is also a big factor to the parents. I think with the boy now they want to backtrack because the boy can be very important to some cultures and people. So maybe they’re willing to overlook race now. Especially since it isn’t so apparent in the grandchildren.

    My thought too. My coworker had two daughters and then a son. Her Asian MIL never came to see the girls and refuse to call them by their names. She never celebrated their birthdays. My coworker said she gained respect ever since her son was born. Her MIL would celebrate his birthday for a whole week and volunteered at school for him. She would babysit him too.

    My husband and I went through something similar. They are making excuses to see you by asking you to come to pick up your clothes. Pride is why they are going this route and they are still not acknowledging your wife or children by not inviting them over. To me, this is telling me nothing has changed and is most likely still selfish!

    If you don’t want your things, then tell them to dispose of them. If you do, then make that your focal point. Clean out your room and be done with it. Take the laptop to your father and offer it to him. At that point, the ball is back in their court. If they disappear, they disappear. If they are softening their stance, they will reveal it to you. If they need your help, they will reveal it to you. But let them know you will get back to them on that, because you need to discuss it with your beautiful wife.

One thing I know is they probably thought you two would not still be together. They have disregarded and disrespected your entire family from the beginning. If they want a relationship they should be straight forward about it.

    It doesn’t really matter why they want your things out of their house. Given the history of your sister’s behavior and her bullying of your parents, it will most likely just make you feel saddened. Try to drop by when your sister is gone, and consider that your parents may never overcome their views and knowing this, you must also know that this situation exists not because of you but because they are not clear about expressing their own hearts in their own lives in any way, shape, or form. You cannot bring them wisdom or awareness that they cannot see on their own. So it doesn’t matter why they want you to pick up your things. It is a symptom of their own inner misery. Your absence in their life may end up being a catalyst for their further growth.

Get your things, tell them thank you and leave. Remember, don't give them control at any point. Give them choices. This time or that time. This day or that day. Let them bring up the subject of your children. Give brief, but kind answers. If they want to meet your children, they must earn it. Talk with a family counselor about navigating any kind relationship with them. You must protect your family, and yourself.

    I would ignore them. I am from an interracial family and in an interracial AND LGBTQ+ marriage and my spouse is Korean-American. My dad is mixed himself, Nigerian and Indigenous, and his family disowned him when he married my British mother. Yet they loved my brother. If my mum had humored them it would have seriously given me inferiority issues. When you have children it becomes less about what you need and more about what is good and fair for them. I have a twenty- six year old daughter and she is thriving because I never catered to her dad's Vietnamese family's wishes for her to be raised to get married and forgo an education and that sons are more valued. We actually divorced over his inability to stand up to his family in favor of his child. Not saying that to be extreme but toxicity is toxicity.

    Justin I have been following your family grow for years and what a fine job you and your wife are doing! The girls are beautiful and your wife is glowing. You look healthy yourself and that is a result of staying away from negativity and being surrounded by love. I myself have a narcissistic/gaslighting parent and the minute I cut off ties it’s been peaceful. Whatever is over there is it necessary for you to have? You have lived without it this long so let it go. Don’t respond, silence is golden! It throws a narcissist off their tracks and wait for 3 months. Whatever they’re trying to do to the room should not be concerning. The same way the letter was posted, let them mail your stuff with no communication or let them throw it out. Narcissist don’t like it when they lose control of whatever they manipulate, so not hearing from you or you seeking their approval is ticking them off. That’s just my opinion- I would keep away, but if you must know and are absolutely curious so what’s best for you.

    Since I'm the stubborn type, I wouldn't meet up with them. If you don't need anything from your old room. Just tell them to throw if out. Wait them out and see what their true motives are. I wouldn't move to their tune. You have a family to take care of. I know your wife has always encourage you to retain contact with your family. She's a kind hearted person. 1. If someone can cut out like that, do you really want that kind of person in your life? If you switch it up with a family member and a friend treated you that way, would you keep them in your life? 2. Asians from Asia are notorious for being old school. They feel they own your life because they gave birth to you. Just because they're family, they don't have the right to treat you that way. Using the excuse that "we're a family", is no excuse. I know it's the Asian mentality that you as a family member have to take what they dish out. Ask yourself, if this how you would treat your own children? Would you cut them out of your life just because they did something you didn't agree with? Love is loving someone with the faults and all. You can pick and choose what you love about someone. Just because they're family doesn't give them a pass for bad behavior. You can continue to love your family but you don't have to like or agree with what they do. Anyhow, I would not do as they say at this point. My priorities would be my current family. March to the beat of your own drum. If you feel that you want to meet with them in three months (their schedule) or flip the script on them. When they contact you next, you make the call of what's best for you. This is about your own health and well being. If you seriously don't need anything from your room, just tell them to throw it out. I would feel bad for you father because he seems like a nice man. But he has to keep the peace in his house with you mother. If I has to guess, they're selling the house and want to pack everything first so they're giving you last minute notice to take your things, so they spend the least amount of time with you. A game of control. But I am wishing for the best case scenario you and your father has convinced your mother to reconcile with you. Best of luck.

Is there really ANYTHING of value in your old room? Don't reply to him. Let him deal with disposing the trash. Your wife shouldn't have to deal with this while she is pregnant. Cut all ties.

    I believe that this is EXACTLY the reason. It would be wise to respond with a witnessed letter and receipt confirmation, set date(s) and remove belongings with AT LEAST ONE friend/witness along. If possible more than one. Under no circumstances would I bring anyone else and go in expecting this to be closure. Should something else happen, it is a separate matter. Justin's family has (almost) full access to details of his precious wife and kids' lives w/o making any effort via YT channel. There is no reciprocity, acceptance, contrition, even bare show of humanity or respect. In fact, from what we have seen there is a concerted effort to show disdain and repulsion. The notion of demands on a filial son and presumption of some parental right to mistreat and belittle without pushback has been twisted into something out of Joseon-era and has no place in modern society, certainly NOT when there are precious lives involved. This feels like a gaslighting power game. There's NOTHING wrong with removing stuff either way. If it's a clean sleight or an amputation does not matter. Two sides are not playing by the same rules.

I think you are right.. this has nothing to do with love or care .. they are cold hearted. learn to live as they have already passed away. Go get your stuf, but with a friend and indeed film it so they have no chance to say that you steal some valuable things. I Ams so sorry,, but if this so.. you can now close this chapter for good after picking up your stuf.

    Firstly, get your stuff out asap. Go by yourself. If having a boy is the reason, then go carefully as they may accept the boy and reject the girls. You are very smart parents and your children and marriage come first. Protect that above all else. Go careful.

    So sorry that you guys are going through this. The good news is you´re not alone, many couples go through similiar circumstances. Keep doing what you´re doing. I believe in the impossible and I hope for a true, genuine, heartfelt family reunion for you guys. Thank goodness for your mother-in-law. She helped you both so much. Heard that she´s in the Philipines from your last video. I´m sure she´s enjoying the warm weather. Life throws lots of crap our way and we have to navigate it with as much integrity as possible. Stay strong and focused.

    Wow Justin.. I'm in tears. I've followed this channel for years and eventually lost hope that your parents would ever come around. I've been on this roller coaster with your family and I hardly know how to feel right now. It's a mix of surprise, relief, sadness, frustration, fear, anticipation and worry about getting my hopes up only to have them cruelly dashed. I'm literally in tears and hardly even know what to say here. I'll simply choose to be happy for the good parts and leave it at that.

Do what gives you peace. Know that without a heart felt apology for their behavior it will continue. You don't want to get on that emotional hampers wheel but it's your choice. You have a beautiful loving family. Always protect that unity because it is so precious. Love you guys.

    Justin, I say just pray that one day,some day they will realize what all of this is doing to you and come to their senses and accept your family. Parents are suppose to love their kids unconditionally and accept the choices they make and who they choose to spend the rest of their life with. I say don't let it stress you and consume your life. Pray for them and that they will open their eyes and their hearts. But until then keep pushing forward and live your life. You have a beautiful wife and kids who love you (even though I know you want your parents acceptance). Just take it one day at a time and pray that they will some day come around. God Bless you Justin and your family. Let Go And Let GOD. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ask him what is going on in three months. I know it hurts that they are acting this way but you don’t need the drama in your life. You have a beautiful family to take care of without drama. Love to you, Sarah, and the girls and soon to be baby boy.

    I'm so sorry you and your LOVELY family are going through this emotional ABUSE, especially from the people who are supposed to love and cherish us no matter what. These are truly STRANGE days, and I would be very careful about visiting your parents and your sibling INSIDE their house. You can inform them that they can place the items from your old bedroom outside the front door, and you will pick them up. Btw, no offense, but your family had at least one normal member who acts in a loving manner. Kudos to you, Justin, for having the BRAVERY to chart your own course in this journey called life! I really, really admire you AND Sara! Take care and God BLESS you in whatever you decide to do.❤👍🙏

    Another commenter mentioned possibly legal reasons for the belongings' retrieval period. If intentions were pure, it would not be presented this way, I am sorry to say. I believe that this is EXACTLY the reason. It would be wise to respond with a witnessed letter and receipt confirmation, set date(s) and remove belongings with AT LEAST ONE friend/witness. If possible more than one. Under no circumstances would I bring anyone else and go in expecting this to be something warm and fuzzy. If that is Justin's family's overture to a conversation, that should (imho) be a separate matter. Justin's family has (almost) full access to details of his precious wife and kids' lives w/o making any effort via YT channel. There is no reciprocity, acceptance, contrition, even bare show of humanity or respect. In fact, from what we have seen there is a concerted effort to show disdain and repulsion. The notion of demands on a filial son and presumption of some parental right to mistreat and belittle him and those precious to his family without pushback has been twisted into something out of Joseon-era and has no place in modern society, certainly NOT when there are precious lives involved. This feels like a gaslighting power game. There's NOTHING wrong with removing stuff either way. If it's a clean sleight or an "amputation", it does not matter. Two sides are not playing by the same rules.

    My husband stop talking to his mother for 3 years. After 3 years, he got an apologie letter from her. It was hand written in Hangul. My husband had the same questions too. He didn't want to go through the drama again , but she rarely apologies so that made it hopeful. He called her and she was lonely because the family in Korea stopped talking her. During their first visit he set some ground rules. * not allowed to visit the house *no contact between wife and mother *no talking about family * no demanding $. It had a rough start but they have dinner once a week.

    You will always love your parents even though they are dysfunctional or irrational. You are trying to be happy n live your best life. You cannot be responsible for your parents unhappiness etc. I sure wish I could figure them out because they are going to extremes n very stubborn. It’s okay to love them from a distant and be respectful towards them as they did raise you well n made sacrifices for you. Just feel sorry for them for missing out on the opportunity to be grandparents. Such a shame because you have a wonderful wife and lovely girls. Pray for them and don’t get angry and definitely don’t let them take your joy, don’t make them make you feel guilty. Continue to stand up for your wife because that is what a real man does, protect his wife and kids. Your mom has boundary issues, too much pride . No one controls or owns their child just because you gave birth to them. Your parents are aging . You must be the better person and stay strong . Nothing wrong to visit them because you will regret it if something happens to them. Forgive them and be at peace and know you did only what you could do. You are a good person so they must have done something right in their life and give them a little credit. I wish you many blessings and just continue to surround yourself with people who accept n love your immediate family .

I'm really sorry this has happened but confident that you will never let such a thing repeat between you and your children. Because y'all got the love.

Long story short, my Husband and I reached out to his family, We prayed and gave this matter to God, and rest in the Peace. They closed the door, case close. ❤️❤️❤️

I am not in your shoes- thank heaven my whole family consist of multi ethnic group and cultures and happily getting along So I can not imagine your true feelings towards your family, but please focus on your beautiful wife and children. Your family are only hurting themselves and missing out on the joy of having grand kids. In due time you will find the truth behind the letters, but in the mean time continue to enjoy what is now your family - your wife and children. God bless🙏
