I was going to say that because I also was in the same position, but you hit it right on the spot

Tonight I faced one of my issues with my girlfriend being condescending towards things I do that she has nothing in common with. I set boundaries and was firm. I feel wonderful. I know now that ultimately I'm going to have to face my parents in the same manner. I'm not sure if I'm ready just yet, but it is good to know what the next step is.
Way to go!!!

Success comes one step at a time. Don't worry if you are ready or not, it will come when it's the right time to talk to your parents. Don't force the issue
