My plan is to limit my contact with them as much as possible, and to get out from there as soon as possible. We live in a small town, and if I stayed somewhere else other than my parents' home, the society would begin judging me as rebellious and disrespectful and ungrateful. It's a complicated issue to deal with such problems. The sense of community is still strong in my culture, and the emphasis is on the family rather than on the individual.
