MY DAD: from another country, pretty strict and dominating, grew up in home where father nevere showed much love and expected him to work a lot. Even when my dad got a scholarship to college his father took his scholarship money and didn't get him a new uniform! Now my dad complains he couldve been anything in life than what he is right now,which i guess he's projecting on me. Despite the fact that I'm at an ivy league and teachers tell me I have GREAT talent as a writer, my dad is disspointed in me for being a psych and engl double major and not pre med like i was "suppose to". I may still do premed, but seems to me he doesn't care what I'm actually good at, just what "looks good" to everyone else. He's not even coming to my graduation. Also, I'm the oldest and my one brother has autsim while the other is a slacker jock...
My MOM: She has depression and server anxiety i think b/c lately she ALWAYS COM PLAINS. about everything. Even just talking to herself. She gets angry and frustrated so easily, it's annoying me now. I only hear whining and I don't know what's going on. I asked her to see a shrink, but she thinks she's fine, just Perimenapause? She never appreciates anything I do...well neither parent does, I'm constantly criticized. She was laid off for two years and just got a job, but can't do the basic math they require and wants to give up. She's always looking for money and I'm only a college student on scholarship! I wish I could ask HER for money. ugh.
sorry to rant, but now that i'm 21 i realize my parents are not sane lol. When i was younger I wondered why my family wasn't like the "normal" ones the rich white kids had and now that I look back I too was depressed and had social anxiety and even wanted to kill myself. Glad to say I am much more confident and getting therapy, but it took me going across country to college and learning I need to do what will make ME happy to realize this. Am I being a ********* daugher or are my parents nuts???? lol
