| I find it interesting that our North American response is to say that our lives are out own.  In Asia, it isn't the case.  As a child you have filial responsibilities to your parent. 
 They looked after you and you *must* look after them.  Your individual needs are secondary to this.
 
 Your mother, being Thai, may be struggling with this.
