My parents got divorced when I was 7. My mum moved back to Hong Kong. She had a kid, and then in 2018, they were both found dead\u201d, she revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had to really rebuild myself from that point onwards, and I\u2019m proud of myself for getting this far.

Our parents form a part of our own identity. I had to rebuild myself. It takes me time to let people in because it takes me a minute to get comfortable.
