My parents are making me feel very trapped lately.
I want some freedom.
I want them to trust me.
I want to make my own decisions.
I want to be my own individual.
I need these things. I need them like I need air to breathe and water to live. I need them. Can't they see that they are suffocating me?
I thought you were only supposed to get punished if you did something wrong.
I thought that my life was my own.
Doesn't it seem reasonable that they are supposed to guide and direct me, but ultimately I have to make my own decisions?
It doesn't do me any good to have them live my life for me. All it does is build walls between us.
I swear I'm never going to treat my kids the way they treat me. I know everyone says they don't want to be like their parents, but I mean it. I never ever want to be like them.
I'm going to let my children live.
