Family sometimes think putting pressure on others is motivating it  is more often is not achieving the result they expect.... is this regarding your school or future ?   

How is your ability to communicate with them or specific members or group as whole ?


Do you know their frame of reference?  .... parents for example may push school achievement or strong career choices hoping you do not have to struggle as  they did OR perhaps their parents did same thing to them and they are repeating a pattern ......

Parents can also be un-supportive when they do not understand what your vision is ...........and believe it or not when you can communicate they  may have  advice  or experience you do not and can help navigate somethings better.

I get where you're coming from, as my upbringing in a similar family situation led me to try various approaches like discussing issues with them or demonstrating changes in hopes they'd shift their perspective. However, it wasn't until I became financially stable and started living on my own that things truly began to change for me.

*hugs if ok* 

It must be agnoy when the ones we loved the most refuse to respect our borders and recognize our efforts. I am sorry you are going through this. You are a hero. I 'm proud of you for everything you did. Please remember to be gentle with yourself, buddy. 

You are not alone, we are here to support you.

wanna give you a hug. Even though parents are disrespectful or hurt you so much, but please remember, you are the one that decides yourself. Be proud of yourself, you did already very good for everything
