your parents know they have the upper hand with you and, they exploite it. my heart goes out for you mate! my parents were like yours. both my brother and sister killed themselves due to my parents. i almost killed myself too. if they are unwilling to take you into consideration... then fuck them! find other people, who will treat you with the dignity becoming a human being. one other thing. they are abusing you. it is not physical abuse. it is psychological abuse and, that is the worst type of abuse there is.
Do you have to go home during the breaks in the academic year? It would make more sense to keep yourself out of the firing line as much as possible.
Yeah that does sound like an option, but I do enjoy visiting my close friends who live in my home town. I also feel like they do like me to be around because they always complain about me not being around often so I would feel bad not visiting them every once in a while. I think my parents are so worried about me fucking up my life they are smothering me with worries and concerns. How do I convince them not to worry so much about how I live my life? It's killing me.
I know man, that's my dad. It's hard because they arnt really doing anything wrong, so if you flip out and yell at them you'll just look like a fag, but you can never just chill with them. What your doing now is probably the best it's gonna get, see them every once in a while, but not for a long time. I'm hoping mine will stop when I have my own house and am actuly living my life, but I'm not optimistic. Good luck man
Thanks. yeah I guess its just something im gonna have to get used to. I really need to sit them down and have a talk with them about their faith in me. I dont understand why they ever chose to pay for my education if they had no faith in my personal decisions. It really is just negative energy whenever i come home, almost no positive whatsoever. so naturally, I just try to avoid it.
You should do that, talk. Set boundaries, its your life after all and no one else will live it for you. Your parents can support you if they choose, but the decisions about your life are yours to make.
Thank you I agree completely. Yeah I'm gonna have to talk to her about it. thanks for your help guys.
