Hi Selmanito,

Yes, I can completely sympathise with you. I'm 29, left home at 18, and my mother still thinks she has the right to dominate my life completely. What I'm going to say I need to heed as well. Your parents don't own you, you don't belong to them and you're not a slave to their whims. Your father is using similar control tactics to the ones my mother has used on me, and there's little right to it.

I know it's very scary, but could you just go out there into the world and start again? I've actually had to do this before, and I survived. You will survive, even if it means you lose your comforts for a bit. There comes a time in your life when you have to decide whether you're going to live your life for you and make what YOU want out of it, or try to make them happy and spend the rest of your life discovering that in fact nothing on earth will ever make them happy with you.

I know that's very strong, but I have a lot of sympathy for you. I've been going through many of the same issues myself recently.
