It's my opinion that at some point, you need to live for yourself and do what YOU want...not what your child wants.
All too many parents (and certainly not saying you're one of them by any means), have been 'emotionally blackmailed' (even if it's subtle) by their children who don't understand that the parents job on raising and supporting them is over when they become adults ...and it's now their time to go out in the world and make their mark on their own.
It might be a good idea to at least think of talking to a professional, explain your entire personal situation...and then really listen to their objective comments.  |
Coldnomore, that is so true. The worst parents are the ones who have 30 year olds on their couch, but Millenials seem to have no problems with emotional blackmail. This even includes withholding grandkids from you. I have seen it in many of my friends families. I had never seen it in our generation, we never would have thought about it. Of course, our parents showed us the door at 18 and made us adults
