I totally understand where you are coming from--it is not an easy place to be. Sweetheart--please try to resolve your problems with them--live your life and be happy with whatever you decide to do---it all comes down to you--you have to live with yourself!!!!
I am 28 years old and just realizing that my entire life as been spent trying to get my parents to tell me they are proud of me!!! I graduated from college in 4 years, worked full time, and changed my major 3 times--and busted my ass to get thru in 4 years--because that was all it was suppose to take!! I got married 2 weeks after college graduation--lived in a dump that my mom was constantly bitching about--but you know what we were happy there--yeah it was a nasty complex--but we were happy!!! I got pregnant and fell into my mom's line of "my grandchild cannot live in these apartments" So at 23 by husband and I bought our first house--not a small "starter" home--but a new 4 bedroom 3 bath house---just so my mom would be happy--we would have been good with a smaller-older house--but we got this---and while i love my house--- there was no need to worry about what my mom would think.
And the stories with my dad could go on and on---let's just say step brother with drug problems get the attention--i get nothing from my father.
But I am finally starting to realize that I am constantly seeking approval---I need to worry about what will make me happy--it is my life--and if my mom cannot be happy and proud of being just living a good--happy life --then that is her problem--it is not mine!!!
Good luck--just do what you need to do to make you happy!!!
