Throughtout my entire life, whenever I had something interesting happen to me or something interesting to say (that I said to my parents or my parents witnessed), my parents would say it for me. It was usually my father (who has the need to brag constantly how "amazing" he is, how "amazing" we as a family are and how "amazing" the things he is working on are, my mother then picked up this habbit). In front of other people they would (with enthusiasm and a smile on their face) share things with them. It never occurred to them that this is maybe something I don't want to share with strangers (really don't want to share or just affected by SA or the extreme protection mechanisms I had/have).

A few days ago I was in the hospital in the capital city, my father went with me. When we entered the house, my mother started asking questions to my father instead of me. IT'S MY HEALTH, HE WASN'T EVEN THERE WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE DOCTOR AND I AM RIGHT THERE IN THE FU*KING ROOM YOU CAN ASK ME!

This was a bit of a rant...

Edit: ... and now I am angry and upset.

That was frustrate me too. My only suggestion is to mention to your parents how you feel, before they say something and you explode in frustration and angrily confront them. Hang in there and thank you for sharing.

Well, I already got angry when my mother did that. If I told my father that it bothers me, he would just laugh cynically or just find it finny with a smirk on his face. This attitude of his, of not respecting my individuality, is what got me where I am today.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
