Welcome to Psych Central mmvid. I am deeply sorry about how unfair things sound, but I am aware from other friends in India how much sway parents have over children. If you can talk to your parents maybe they can negotiate the situation or maybe you can live without being slaves to his parents. I really cannot say it is a different culture than I understand.

I am a volunteer here at Psych Central and am glad to hear from people like yourself in a forum post or a private message. So glad you joined the Psych Central community. I have felt it is a safe and nurturing environment. Hope you feel comfortable here too.

Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems though still there are more manageable.

There are lots of compassionate people here that can make the load lighter by sharing and caring. Feel free to participate actively at Psych Central. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
