My mother the dream crusher · 8:06pm Dec 9th, 2016
"When I grow up, I wanna inspire people and be a director!"
"You'll never make it, you'll die in the real world."
"When I grow up, I wanna help make the world a better place!"
"It's just a phase, you'll get over it soon."
"When I grow up, I wanna help people and be a psychologist!"
"I doubt you can out much effort into that."
Basically, these are all the dreams I had that I wanted to do when I grew up. And my mom squashed every one of them 
. I mean, I'm not trying to bad-mouth her or anything, I'm just venting off the frustration I feel. Can't she at least let me dream on? I know I'll have to face harsh reality sooner or later. I'm still a kid, and nothing's definite yet. I always feel frustrated and fed up whenever me and my mom have conversations like these, she never tries to understand my point of view, and she shouts at me when she thinks I'm insulting her, when I'm really not. I just politely express my opinion on topics, I'm not trying to upset her. And yet she wonders why I don't talk to her anymore...
Sounds like her dreams got crushed too.
That part about randomly shouting at you concerns me though. If she takes everything said about her as an insult, she may have some narcissistic issues.
Everyone needs to have a dream. If you don't the world will never get better because we won't have anything to wok twords.
Don't worry! My father ain't any better
I don't know why, but this anecdote reminded me fo this:
You'd rather have this guy as a parent:
4334063 Yeah, true
4334046 She's just too overemotional, I think.
4334111 Actually, my dad's way worse than my mom.
