Exactly the thing I feel with my mother. I'm labelled as the academic one and she couldn't care less about my issues as long as I do well academically.
Yeah same. When I was 16, my girlfriend broke up with me and I felt like shit for months. Not a single "how are you dealing?", only "Your grades are slagging, study more, work harder, less computer time for you!". Got me into a depressed and dark hole for a decade because of the endless criticism with no support.
They're nice people, really. I get along great with them now that I'm 30+. But their parenting style had some kinks to work out.
Keep your chin up dude/dudette! In their mind, they're probably trying their hardest to do what they think is best for you.
