"I hate having to admit my parents don't understand me. My mom is extremely one sided and only believes what she thinks is right and my dad agrees with her every single time. I met and fell in love with the most amazing person of my life a year ago. Yes I am 18, but he has taught me things my parents never have...like how to appreciate life and be respectful to those who are disrespectful to you, not to be afraid to stand up for what you believe in, how to love someone, being more confident and not letting things get the best of me, etc. I feel like I haven't learned these things from my parents because whenever i get in trouble i get yelled and screamed at. My boyfriend never screams at me when I do something wrong and I actually learn and have so much more respect for him. My parents feel my world revolves around him and that I'm out of control. I was even blamed today for one day being the death of my mother because of her heart problems. How can I emotionally handle this?I've tried talking to them and explaining without yelling but I can't help but react to their yelling by screaming back. My life is so screwed up..and my boyfriend has to listen to all of this. They are even considering making us break up.
Please help, and quick..." Rachael.
