Alejandro, I am about to say something you may not want to hear or even believe and you may just think your older sis knows nothing, but here goes: What you are going thru is NORMAL. and its not all them... this is the normal battle between parent and child.As the child creeps closer to the world of adulthood, things begin to drastically change for both parties. You think you don't need any more guidance from them, they are worried to death because they think you have no idea about the adult world. Every parent handles this differently. I went thru the same thing with them, and now, when I look at some of the fights we had, or times I thought dad was being a raging &*#$%, it makes much more sense in retrospect. and there are some instances I am thankful for their what I used to think of as "overbearingness" Mom and Dad adore you. They rave about you constantly. But it doesn't mean they are going to stop being your parents. I hope you will try to see things from their side and maybe realize neither sides have been perfect and try to make the best of your time with them. Mom always wishes you would talk to her more, try to take time to do so. Dad just wants to believe his son thinks he is something worth trying to emulate. Anyway, I love you and I'm sorry you are experiencing this rocky time in your life. Its hard because for the first time in yourlife you have no idea what you are going to be doing. Just try to remember your family is the only thing that will remain constant thru all this, friends and girlfriends will come and go. I had to learn that lesson the hard way, after hurting you all and putting you to the side and making other things/people more important. Thats what is so wonderful though, is no matter how bad things get, you can know that you always have mom and dad, and especially me.
