I posted here a few weeks ago after finally breaking free from my parents and all was going well.
We hadn't had contact and it was going great, until a week after this happened I got laid off (really screwed over by my employer) and I handled that really well, didn't contact them.
But that night I got engaged and called them to share the wonderful news. Needless to say I got an icy reception before any hint of joy.
The problem is that now I seem to be dragged back into the family drama again, not only being bullied into visiting them (I pray I get a job before that), but if I'm home going to a lecture by a very conservative speaker (I'm very not conservative).
HELP!!! I can't seem to get the hang of this breaking free of them. How the hell do I do this?
