They made gaining freedom and independence from them harder than its supposed to be.
I just realized it today, my cousins who had family that weren’t as financially stable as we are were all able to live and work abroad or put up successful businesses, meanwhile everything seemed so hard for me even though my parents are well off, I never got the same opportunities to be independent as my cousins did, I realized my parents wanted me stuck and dependent on them, I also recently found out that an aunt had offered a room at her house for me if I wanted to study where she lives and my mom had declined and told her I was hard to live with because of my anxiety (I didnt have my son yet that time), my dad stopped his own friend from hiring me and suggested someone else.
They took opportunities away and gave then to someone else while they made me feel like they were supportive and I just didn’t have the same luck everyone else had.
I’m heartbroke and I feel like I will never trust them again, all I want now is to get any of the jobs I applied for and get me and my son out of their house.
Has anyone felt the same way? Did they do the same to you?
