My parents (especially my dad) is always pushing me to do something I don't want to do. Like they want me to be lawyer or doctor, maybe an engineer but thats literally it. My mom is a bit more supportive of my dad but keeps on saying there's no point in doing it and that I should go to college unless I want to get kicked out. I want to do something related to art if possible but my dad won't take no as an answer.They are also very very overprotective of me (especially my mom) to the point it's suffocating me so I alway run away from the real world. Scaring me with shit like telling me that this woman has been r**ped and killed and saying that's the reason why I don't let you outside when I was 9, they only did that 3 times but it traumatized me. Telling me I can't date till I'm 25 and then expecting me to have a family before 30- I can't cry in front of my parents especially my mom since she would either one call me a Weirdo or two get mad at me and starts slapping me. Comparing me with my brother cause he's an honor student and it wouldn't matter what he would choose cause he would be successful either way unlike me. They let my brother do whatever he wants to do. Going out to parties, dating, moving out, etc. Also I'm bi and if my mom finds out she would kill me, I asked what if my brother was gay and said its fine but if it was me she's would kick me out. Not to mention my they are divorced and my dad is a big fucking asshole, aside from his work and that hes good at cooking, he has no good points. Love my mom but sometimes I just despise her. It prob not this bad unlike other cases but it's still hell tbh...
I am so sorry to hear this. This comment will not change your world but I hope it helps a little. I hope you can achieve your dream and become independent of your parents. Maybe they will change if you confront them with your fears, hopes an their difference in treatment between you and your brother? Mine did (eventhough they were not that extreme by far), when they were faced with losing their children out of their lives because of outdated views on life. I will believe in you and your prosperous future (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
That's such a complicated issue as well. On one hand, I could tell you to do what makes you happy, but that would affect your living situation and overall quality of life. On the other hand, I could tell you to submit but that would affect your mentality and decrease your quality of life. Some parents aren't capable of compromise and it's difficult to know what to do in those situations. I hope that whatever happens, you end up happy.
I think there's a 2nd volume for this manga, if it does I hope it get released
