have you ever encountered in your life, that you are tired, obey and understand your parents? or even your brother and sister? all my life, i always obey and do what my parents wanted, i always understand them, i always give what they want, but why they couldn't understand me, my feelings,my heart and i need to lose my love just because of them, and now,there are nights when i cant help but cry.

yes me too, i always understand and obey my parents. All my life I never even say a word against them but it just like their taking advantage. Sometimes I can't even be with my friends, sometimes I think of myself that I will grow old in our house taking care of my parents.

obey / comply with those around us it is imperative that we should do. although it makes us tired with the existing situation, but believe that we live in this world should abide by what is around us, whether we are obedient to the people, rules, norms that have it all it is our duty as human beings.

i can perfectly understand how you feel because i had ever felt like that before as well in the past... please be strong and do not give up because God is always with you no matter how hard your life is... He will never forsake nor abandon you through your difficulties... take care and have a nice day...

That is maybe because they are looking at some problems you might encounter in the future. Parents sometimes are correct especially if they are not the only ones concerned. There might be "things" you cannot see because you are in love. Weighing things is the best way to solve the problem.

YEs, i feel the same way too. BEing the elder in the family, i have heavy responsibility falling on my shoulders even though i'm a sister. WHenever there's something to be done, regardless of at home or outside, my name would be the first to be called upon solving those stuffs. There are times i really don't understand why, just because i'm the eldest? I do feel tired especially when they start nagging and put their focus on me. I really want to cry, but i'm holding back. I confide in my bf, and he understands my plight.

Well. There are a lot of things in life to be happy about. What your parents or family thinks isn't as important of what you think. So, if you feel that you deserve love, just take all the love you want, and try to block all the hate that you feel. Just feel how lucky are you to have a life! You can breath, you can see, you can hear, you are the perfect creation of an almighty God!. So, just be happy and try to receive the love of God and transmit it to the other people.

Yes many a times. It seems we have same problems and feelings. I also always takes care of my parent, bothers and sister. But some time they don't care me. I feel they do not think me a human being. They thinks that i have no heart feeling emotions etc. It seems that today you are very sad. Is not it? Some one heart you whom you love a lot from your family. I have encountered such kind of situations many a times. And same like you could not stop myself from crying at midnights. Be brave my friend every thing will be ok. Our parents always think batter for us then us. So don't anger on them at any situation. Have a nice day and Good Night.

Oh dear, do not cry. We all have similar problems at home too. I was tired, and I was thinking about the purpose of living within this Earth. I am not perfect, and I compare myself to other people, I just too tiny, and I am nobody. I hope that through my hard work and everything, I can change or current circumstance of mine.

I'm really sorry you feel like that. My parents did the world for me yet I never saw the good parts. All parents tell you off, shout at you or don't like few things that you might like. But honestly do you actually like or understand them much? Parents always want the best gor there children and that's why they don't understand certain feelings. Example you want to stay out late as a teen, your parents say no. Not because they don't understand but a matter of safety. I feel guilty every day for never appreciating my parents. They are still alive luckily but because of my own mistakes are not talking to me. Please trust me parents aren't all that bad. Try to understand them if you can

I do know what this feeling is like as I have experienced a great many family disappointments. asliah, it sounds to me like you need some hugs and someone to truly talk to, please take care of yourself. Maybe you need a break from all of it. Please PM anytime if you need someone to talk to.

Well you should ask yourself if your parents have a good reason as to why they feel the way they do? Are they concerned for you or want something better in the partner you chose? I can understand the whole scenario because my family really doesn't care too much for my spouse. I used to listen to the whole thing but now they cut me off. They want me to make a decision of leaving although we have kids together. It seems silly because I tell them to give me Biblical grounds for me filing a divorce and they can't.

It sounds like you are in difficult point in your life. Unfortunately I have never been in that situation, in which I can't imagine the frustration and pain you may incurring at this time. But have you ever considered maybe sitting down with having a meaningful conversation with them, in which you express what you are feeling so that maybe they can try and understand you a bit better. Sometime parents imagine us a certain way and think that is they way we are, but what they don't understand is that we are completely opposite. If you can't talk to your parents, because it is difficult talk to someone. It's not good to hold all those emotions and feelings inside. Open yourself to someone. I know it's not easy but try maybe it might make you feel better. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything goes better for you, try and keep you head up.
