As a Korean American adoptee living in Seoul, I can relate to the phrase "quiet, mundane, daily traumas" but this was also the case while living in the US. Every day has had these daily traumas ㅠㅠ
Thank you for sharing! I see many of the things you talk about with my husband who is an adoptee living in the US- especially about comments from Koreans hurting the most. Gives us a lot to think and talk about on how we raise our half Korean children and not just ignore the difficult things that he has experienced.
It's tough being mixed. I was born in Seoul. My mother is Korean and father American. Growing up no one believed I was half Korean. I was considered either Mexican, Samoan, or Native American by my peers. My children face the same issues I did, no one believes they are part Korean. It's a struggle to find your identity and not being accepted by some Koreans is tough. In the end, I'm just who I am. People can accept it or not, I don't let it bother me anymore.
I commend you for choosing to be 'treasure in the middle' over 'lost in the middle.' May you continue to discover pluses of your particular life to your unique advantage! Blessings! You are loved more than you can imagine.
