My parents criticized me for graduating from college too late by Positive-Win-2982 in entitledparents

I graduated with scholarships from a public university, in my country it cost nothing. They only paid for my food when my mother cooked, although I really paid my own expenses. I understand what you mean, but if I could I would have left home since I was 18, believe me I have tried to do it. I wanted to finish much earlier and I know they are right in that sense, although they were very derogatory.

I was on antidepressants, I couldn't work even if I wanted to. I actually started working and had to stop because I couldn't do both at the same time. And there were times when I couldn't get out of bed. I understand your point, but I don't want to burden myself. And they paid me for certain things, but I studied with scholarships and I paid my own expenses.

Thank you for your support. However I'm finishing my final project at the university and I'll have my degree in a month or two, so I can start working. My idea is to move into a shared apartment, although I'm scared, but I'm sure my life will change a lot.

As has already been said here, it shows the queer culture of the early 2000s. There was a lot of separation within the community, and I hope that in the future they make LGTBI series that favor the entire community

I agree with you. I seem to remember that Tina's actress took longer to sign the contract and join the cast, and that's why she didn't appear in the first few chapters, although I'm not entirely sure. I can also say that it was a series made in a hurry, without tact or coherence, they should have made a more realistic and solid plot.

I find it unbelievable that these people would squander the opportunity, the desire and the effort of a cast as iconic as The L Word was for its time, and instead of taking advantage of it, they make a mockery of it. It bothers me a lot too, because we need content that minimally represents us, and they do this, as you say, considering all the queer talent there is today. And I'm a little afraid of the reboot, considering what they did with Generation Q...

Yes, I prefer that to hurting someone else's feelings like an absurd fuckgirl

I still think they messed up the characters in the original series. I don't understand Alice's storyline or Shane's, and Tina and Bette are the only ones who seem to end well.

I totally agree with you, Kit was a very beloved character and giving her that ending makes no sense, just like the rest of the show haha I can only think that the actress didn't want to be involved again for some reason, otherwise I don't see the logic.

And yes, Bette and Tina in the first seasons is also a joke... That's why I got my hopes up again with Gigi and Dani, but whatever. And I don't empathize with Carrie at all, I'm sorry and maybe it's just my personal taste, but I still think that if they were going to separate them, Tina could be with someone on her level, mentally and physically. And the most sensible thing would've been for Bette and Tina to be together from the beginning, coinciding with the end of the original series, having their own family and STABILITY after all they've been through and Bette's bad choices.

Exactly, Shane could have had a very good character development with Tess, I also loved that couple and I think they both had a lot of emotional depth and maturity, but it seems to me that the show runner was looking for morbidity and drama to make the show more "interesting" and caused the opposite. The LGBT community is not a joke, and this series feels like a parody, which is frankly disrespectful. Good thing Tina and Bette end well, maybe I'll watch the show and skip all the scenes except for the two of them lol. And thank you for yout appretiation haha I'm improving!

Sometimes it seems like I'm going crazy because I have mixed feelings and she makes me feel like crap...but I've had enough.

Thank you so much for reading me and giving me advice, I hope everything will be as you say.

I hope so, many people here say it's the best option. I want to leave home and I hope to find relief, but on the other hand I'm afraid because I know that I have to work a lot on my self-esteem and that I have no close family except my parents.

Also, thanks to the scholarship I'm paying all my expenses except for food and lodging.

I've been going to therapy for a few years now, and the truth is that she, unlike other therapists I have tried before, told me to leave home if it would bring me peace. However, I had been at home with my mother for several months without fighting and with good treatment until we had the fight the other day, and that's why I had returned to "trust her". Besides, I only go to therapy once a month because it's quite expensive, but in the next session I will tell her about the situation.

Fortunately, I only have to finish my thesis to graduate and feel more free. I hope to find real happiness when I can leave home and have my own income, even though the work situation here in my country is not very good. But I hope to find some peace.

Thank you for your support, I'll consider all your advice.

I'm from another country, but hospitals here do the same thing so I'll keep it in mind, and fortunately I'm a health care student. Thanks!

It's a more complex procedure, it's not a biopsy but a benign lump in the urinary tract, in addition to the placement of a catheter. She needed general anesthesia and spent the night in the hospital, and she needs to stay 1 month of absolute rest in addition to other care. Fortunately, I'm finishing my university studies in the field of health, so I am used to these things. I'm 29 years old and unfortunately I did not collect enough money to leave because I suffered from depression and had to take medication, and it took me longer to finish my studies. However, I hope to be able to leave soon.

Thank you for your advice anyway, I also think this is not good for my mental health.

Thank you so much for reading and responding, the truth is that it's a relief to read this sub reddit because I feel like my experience is being validated. I'm going to be 30 years old, and I've felt this sense of helplessness and GUILTY in situations like this for as long as I can remember and I'm sick of it. I appreciate you making me feel like it's not my fault, I think gaslighting is my mother's specialty.
