I hid my problems from my parents for years because my younger brother was "the troubled one" and I was "the responsible one". So, I feel for you. Make sure you remember that what your parents are doing is a mistake -- you can keep loving them, but just be aware that what they're doing is a sign of their own fears, and NOT the truth of how you have to be. Parents can do this without even realizing it, so while you can certainly blame them it may just be easier to let it slide, and simply stop letting it affect you.

You may also want to change their image of you gradually, so they can learn more about the real you and adjust to that without it coming as a shock. Just always, always remember that your parents are imperfect people, and that your problems are real and legitimate. Also remember that, even if you bombard them with all your problems and accuse them of manipulation and rage at them for half an hour, yes they will be shocked, but they will still care about you and they will still be proud of you.

Damn, it's like an itty-bitty internet mirror here. Did you ever open up and start talking to your parents about it? (Mostly asking because I could use a few pointers if you did.)

((And I totally understand if you're not comfy revealing to random internet chick :) ))

Ooh yeah. They were mostly supportive, but my dad would say things under his breath for awhile conveying skepticism that I was actually "depressed", etc. Fun times.

Now my days as the responsible one have long since passed. I had a very troubled time about my third year of college, and came away a total crazy hippie. My plan is to go to grad school for environmental design so I can plan sustainable buildings, factories and farms (I'm now at the stage where I have a plan, and it sounds pretty respectable), but I think there was a lot of eyeball-rolling when I went off to live on various organic farms and learn about things like "permaculture". I still have plans to move onto an ecovillage in the next few years. Woo, tangent!

Anyway, I still have conflict with my parents over it, but empathy and compassion help, and divorcing my own self-worth from how I felt I was doing on the old "life plan" (aka college, grad school, career in science or medicine) helped enormously. I'm no sage on the subject, not by a long-shot, but I do have one person's worth of experiences I can relate. Basically everything actually helpful I could think of went into the comment you're responding to, lol.

But if you want, we can certainly chat. Clearly I have no problem (over)sharing.
