I am 22, and I feel that such decisions are my right. I am still unsure as to whether or not he is using her as leverage over me for my schooling. Currently I am taking sociology and history, then planning to go into a trades program with education. MY father seems to be in disapproval over this plan, and wants me to go into engineering, or the like. He also complains that I have not finished the degree in 4 years. If I could move out, I would, but I do not want to risk my schooling. It was just last night, in fact, that I was called a failure to my face.

As per the making my own decisions, I feel they do not want me to do so. I tell them that I am my own person, and can make my own choices, and the response is that I should move out. Why is it not possible to have a family that lets you make life choices while living with them. My choices aren't about them, they are about my future.

I suppose I do have issues respecting them...but I do not feel I should really be respecting them. From this, I have developed anxiety and anger issues. I am aware of this, but my family does not help matters, calling me sociopathic. They make me out to be some sort of monster, when I am just trying to make the decisions I feel are right.
