[..............They don't know me...and when i try to talk about how this bothers me...they say I'm being immature and that is not the way to act....I don't know what to do...I am not going to stop being me and what makes me happy...it is a two-way street...I can't go on doing all the work by accepting them and losing my identity....my growth stunted because of this. When i moved out on my own I was no longer depressed and realised more about myself..I became a better person...I feel guilty for shunning my parents...because I do recognise what they did right...but they just don't know me...I fake who I am in order to have some kind of relationship with them[/quote]

--- i rily think we're in the same situation. except my mom hurts me physically. i know i've done her wrong ( her finding out me and my boyfriend in our house) but i apologized. really apologized. she was ok i thot. coz she goes out with us. hangs-out with me n my boyfriend. smiles and talks to him. but there are really times she just bursts and tells me she that truly, she doesnt want him and all. i dont know now. she hit me before, i accepted. she still does now. and she sed, she will still eventho im old. im 22 yrs old. i feel like moving out but im scared coz of family traditions. and she's rily good and nice to me before. and all of our family loves her. i'm different. im not her. i do bad stuff i know, but i know my limitations. and im not a bad person. i tried talking to her. with crying and all. but all she does is yell and she has alot to break the risons that i tell her. everytime i out, she gets mad. she does not literally want me to stay out with my boyfriend for 10 hours! im 22 and i guess its ok. i dont sleepover at my boyfriend's house even. i dont know if i tell her the truth or lie so she wont be hurt. she already found out about me, but she can't accept me. she rily cant. im scared about what will happen in d future. as much as possible i want her in my life even if i have my own family. its just dat, she cant accept dat there are some bad stuff i do, but im happy.
