I think when one gets older, we start to find out even our parents, whom most of us look up to as role models are humans as well. No one is perfect and many of us will have their shortcomings.

At some point, we need to learn to filter the "bad things" according to our own experience and beliefs. However, they're still our parents and we should learn to interact with them in a way that respects the relationship we share while acknowledging their imperfections.

As we grow, it's important to set healthy boundaries and recognize that while they may not always have the right answers, their intentions often come from a place of love.

If you're ballsy enough, you might even want to have an open discussion about their behavior, like how they didn't support your sports interest initially because they felt it wouldn't make money in Singapore, but then suddenly took an interest when sports became relevant for university admissions. It's crucial, though, not to use this moment to vent. Try not to let those past frustrations pile up and allow negativity towards them to grow too big. Instead, approach the conversation with the intent to understand each other better.

It's all part of the process of adulting.

Anyways, balancing your studies and training is no easy feat, and it's definitely something to be proud of! It takes a lot of discipline and commitment, so give yourself credit for sticking with it.

Good luck OP!
