Fear mongering and trauma bonds.

I was talking to my mother yesterday and I always get annoyed because then she starts with the whole fear-mongering thing. With everything that's happening in the Hispanic community I know she might be paranoid but every time I go out anywhere she always tells me to watch out because immigration might round me up I am an American citizen I told her that's not possible. She gets her information from other people or tick tock videos where they are saying that they are deporting American citizens she's afraid they might get me just because I look extremely Mexican. I am going to be fine I'm not in a illegal and plus I have no criminal record. The whole of fear mongering thing is just very annoying to me.

Shes telling you that because she loves you. And she's afraid for you. She knows that simply being an American citizen is not some shield that is automatically going to keep you safe.

[@Angel unforgiven] yeah, she's afraid of me being profiled based on my appearance. She's hearing stories of Hispanic Americans being questioned. But I'll be fine.
