How do you get your parents to listen to you? I'm sure I've tried pretty much everything except the attempted suicide thing - and I would NEVER try that.
And how do you get your parents to let you make your own decisions? They just won't let me do it.
And how can you trust your parents to help you make the right decisions when they tell you straight-out that they wish they would have made different decisions when they were younger.
If your mom tells you that you should stay in college and get a degree so you can be your own person, and say I do what she says, doesn't that make me the person she wants me to be?
When it comes down to it should I just do what I want and not even run it by them first?
If I always do what they say will they always have that power over me?
Are they doing this because they don't want to lose their baby girl? Or are they doing it because they like the power parents supposedly have?
Those are some questions.
As you can tell I'm having some issues with my parents. This is the first time I've had problems with them like this - it's never been this bad. But I'm getting sick of them trying to control every aspect of my life, sure I value their opinion and agree with them about certain things. But they can't tell me to do whatever they want whenever they want me to do it. I need to be my own person and make my own decisions and if that means making my own mistakes and learning from them, fine. I'd rather be mad at myself for choosing to do something then be mad at them for making me do something I didn't want to do.
If you have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Love.
