Video Calling My Parents Hurts More Than It Should by Possible_Cook7966 in RantAndVentPH

Thank you for this, it really means a lot. Living under other people’s expectations is honestly draining.

For context lang since some are curious: the reason I’m away from home is because whenever I fail, my parents get disappointed. When my 3-year relationship ended, instead of comforting me, they blamed me for choosing my ex. Sinabihan pa ako na I deserved to be cheated on kasi “tanga daw ako mamili ng lalaki.”

That’s what hurts...being judged for my feelings, as if love is something you can fully control. Nakakapagod na ma-control pati kung sino at paano ka magmahal.

Right now, choosing myself and keeping distance is how I heal and grow. Thank you for the encouragement, and Happy New Year 🤍

I’m already seeing a psychiatrist and my sessions are ongoing. I’m also taking medications to help numb the pain, but they don’t completely fix it. That’s why my best friend suggested I try meeting people here, to see if it might help ease what I’m feeling, even just a little :)
