2 years ago
I'm a 21 year old girl, I always Wanted to be independent from the age of 18. But my father restricted me, My mother Also restricted me for every single thing. I am raised up In such a way that even if I go to meet my best friend that too a girl my mother used to warn me come home before your father comes. I mean why? why Should I be scared of my father? When I'm not doing anything wrong. And all these years I have faced a lot, seen a lot of fights and arguments and abuses at home and in my whole family as well. Now I'm very much frustrated, I want to work although I'm in Third year now, I will complete my graduation as well but I want to work side by side. But they are not allowing, on top of that my mother is emotionally harassing me saying that do what you want, give us poison and go where you want to go. What am I supposed to do now ?
I’m assuming you still live at home. Because of this, your parents see you as a dependent child, and see themselves as your caregivers. It’s a natural instinct, to protect those you support, and in your parents’ case, it manifests as control. Be independent; move out, and show you are determined to care for yourself. If they persist in trying to “control” your life (and I’m not certain what you mean — are they trying to enforce a curfew? did they tell you they don’t like your girlfriend/boyfriend?), sit them down and explain, LIKE AN ADULT, that you are an adult, and your life (and the ramifications of your decisions) are yours to deal with. And if and when those decisions result in misfortune (and they sometimes will, despite best efforts and intentions), don’t run to them and expect them to fix everything. If you want to be treated like an adult, act like one.
Thanks

You have attained the age of majority that is 18 years, your parents could guide you but they cannot control you life. If you want to earn do a job then you have all right to do so they cannot restrict you. And they can't to do anything legally to restrict you to do job.
