Deneb, your mom is old school Chinese. What she is saying is pretty typical of mainland people from her generation.
Please, please read "The Joy Luck Club" - it will help you understand. She sounds like the mom in the book, and many people I met in China. The more you understand her the better you will get along.
If you want to write her a letter, send it to me and I will have a friend translate it for you.
And you can have your dad contact me and I will help convince him that we aren't a cult and that I will help take care of you in San Diego. He can't be too afraid of me, can he?
