Asian parents just don't understand

Asian parents just don't understand
I've been ignoring the signs that I need to go see an athletic therapist for the last 3 months - I've had tightness in muscles that shouldn't be happening, different parts of my body have popped in and out of place, and I'm just not hitting the times I had in late fall. There is no reason for these aliments as I'm not even running as much distance each month - May was my all time low (partly b/c of sickness, injury, and track training) so I shouldn't be experiencing this.

When I popped my hip in Oct. my Dr. said I didn't need to see a therapist or anyone else and now I really regret taking her advice. Again, with the fall in April I should have gone to a therapist regardless of her views b/c right now I'm experiencing some left knee issues - the impact spot of my fall.

Post 2nd run today I told my mom I needed to see an athletic therapist asap and she got pissed - she started yelling about how I shouldn't have done the 2nd run and that normal people don't run twice a day. Honestly, I'm not even running as much as I ran in the fall, I cut back my distance b/c of all the studying I need to so it's not an overuse injury. Everyone in my family is yelling about how it's an overuse injury when it isn't. They don't understand. Being Asian and anti-sport they think everything is an overuse injury. I hate how they like to brag to their friends about my placing in races when they don't even understand how hard I need to train to do well.

You want me to do well in my next race? Just pay for my treatment and stop yelling at me. You think I want to spend money on this? I would rather buy a pair of bioms.

I need a sports therapist & deep tissue massage ASAP.

My father is such a stubborn and child-like man, every single time we fight I'm always the one that reaches out. It's been 4 days since we last spoke (the day of the fight) and he's still not talking to me. I felt bad last night and reached out and he ignored me. He's still wouldn't talk to me during dinner today. What an asshole. I never had much respect for him b/c of the way he treats me (inferior to my brother &etc), but now, I lost all respect for him and I don't regret it one bit.Asian parents just don't understand
