My parents don support what I stand for in life and often say that what I stand for is disgusting. What do I do?
It's too bad that your parents don't support what you stand for. You can talk to them about why you feel the way you feel and how their behaviors toward you make you feel. Depending on your financial situation, you can also get family therapy to see if that brings you guys closer together. It doesn't feel good when parents are unsupportive, so maybe you can look for other people out there that are supportive of you. It doesn't replace your parents but it might help you feel better. You can call or text us anytime at 888-222-2228.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
