I was going to say much the same thing as Kaika. I know EXACTLY how you feel, but the pressures on me are coming from my in-laws and not my parents. I am in the process of moving continents from Europe back home to Canada so I am temporarily crashing at their place with my boyfriend until he is done with his education and we can move. It is only another couple of months but I am going mental. It is hard being surrounded by people so different than you, and people that just don't understand you. I can sympathize with you so very much, so yes, you're not alone I'm new here too and hoping to use this forum as a sort of "journal" so that I don't have to saddle my boyfriend with my problems with his parents every day when he gets home since I have no one else to talk to. Hope to see you around, good luck and stay strong! ~SA
