Alright so within the past few months after graduating from High School, I have gotten a job, put over 1k into repairing my car, out of my own paycheck, I have moved out of my parents to live with a friend until we can find a place of our own, and I have been supporting myself, buying my own food and will be paying rent on the first of the month to my friend’s mom. I got my middle school sweetheart back and I could not be happier, we are planning on getting married sometime within the year. My mom decided to look at his facebook page and decided she didn’t like what she saw (his picture of him in a hat with a pot leaf on it). He does not do drugs, he quit that stuff and is now getting clean so that he can get a job and get a place with me and my best friend. But I confronted my mom about it saying that I wanted her to give him a chance and that he wanted it as well. She refuses to do so and gave my father a call (who pays my car insurance and phone until I save up some money), and I got yelled at by him saying that I am doing nothing right and am making horrible choices. They called my boyfriend a reject/deadbeat etcetc. Now let me get this straight, I’ve done nothing but try to impress these people I call my parents, and all they do is focus on all these negatives that they came up with on their own. All the hard work I’ve put into my job and my relationship and my LIFE means absolutely NOTHING. I could win the Nobel Peace Prize and they would still find a reason to give me shit. What kind of parents treat their kids like failures when they’ve done nothing but work hard to earn everyone’s approval? Not to mention they know NOTHING about my boyfriend, this guy I’ve known since the 7th grade, this guy who treats me like a queen and actually makes me feel beautiful. I am so done with them acting like my life is their choice. I am happy with the way I am living my life and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I may not have a ton of money, but I’m making an income and it is enough to keep me going until I can find something better.
