Telling My Parents I hate them

First of all I want to specially thank @belenguerra and the steem lgtbiq for giving me this opportunity to express my self, I really grateful.

I was born into a lovely family of five, I was the fourth child. My parents loved and adored me and I always want to bent to all their wish without questioning them.


Phone name: Iphone 6

I was an honor, kind, intelligent and polite person to everyone and also chose a career path that they wanted me to do, even though I had other passions totally different from their wish. I don’t drink, no drugs, no sex, and nothing that would embarrass them in any way. Family is always very important to me.

They forcibly break up my first relationship with the love of my life and threatened to stop my education, month allowance, and any thing I want if I don’t end the relationship. I was shocked and couldn’t believe my parents will say that to me.

I tried to reason with them and even cried so much, I told them I was still their child, their lovely adorable baby girl that they loved and raised with such care but they never cared. At this point, I was ready to displeased myself and please them.

I have always been very close to my mom, but we started drifting apart at one time due to her intense commitment to her job and other activities. I started struggling with depression, smoking and being lonely.

It got really bad but I made a lot of effort to hide it from everyone and maintain the way I used to be with everyone. After eventually seeking the help of a friend when I went back to school, she introduced me to a therapist who help me. I stop talking to my parents, I stop picking their calls and they were eager to know why. I finally told my them and let them know they are the cause of my problem and I hated them so badly, I told them that I had hidden everything from them and had been struggling in silence under their roof which was the most difficult thing I have ever done but I had to do it.

My parents felt really bad and they try to change their way by all mean and for them to get my forgiveness and live happily with them. Well I did and since them, they’ve been good to me.

Once again, thank you very much @belenguerra and this great community @Steem Lgtbiq for your hardwork towards this contest.

It sounds difficult indeed. Some people are toxic and they don't ever realize it. I believe the right thing to do it to say "stop" show them that some things cannot be accepted and you was brave enough to do it.

It doesn't matter if it's family or not - being parents doesn't make them Gods, even though in some cultures the respect to the parents is overdone to the scale which becomes toxic. I'm glad your parents realized they were making mistake, that they asked for forgiveness and that you was able to give it to them.

Thank you for the encouragement

Wow, my friend! What a difficult story!! I understand, I've been through similar issues with my parents.

I think that you are very brave and what you did must have been difficult for you, but maybe it was necessary. Well not maybe, clearly.

Thanks a lot for sharing my friend!!

Thank you so much. It was indeed a difficult task
