Its hard living with parents
I for one am just over this illusion of "man who lives with parents at age of 30 is a closet freak" Its an image that I have been fighting off for years now. even when I wasn't living with my parents. Its true i am a mentally ill person with a hearing disability and a multiple fractured spine. I spent several years after high school working cross country trying to be independent. and when I broke my spine and hip society spit me out. its 2015, I have just moved in with my parents in almost 5 years. They have already turned around on me and have been demanding me to go back to college, get a degree, and move out. They say things like "I'm not doing anything with myself" and "I'm treating life like its overrated" despite what I do for this family. I moved them into a new home, I mow their lawn, I do the dishes and pick up after my 3 siblings and cat. I strive to keep myself happy through the league of legends, through many hobbies that I can't even keep up with. I have many many friends that I game with, ones that I have kept for years. I'm an artist, sometimes I post art and memes here. I make education my #1 priority, learning wherever I can to be as efficient as I can. But despite my recent short years of happiness, years of building on myself and being something to anybody better than for me to be dead. I have this happiness and fulfillness torn down by the demands of my parents . Demands of what society dictates. That SSI that I get legally and I use 100% to support the family? that means nothing. I'm "dependent" which I would have never guessed over the pain of my fractured spine and often heavy depression. Their words, "college" is the biggest insult to me. After everything that I have fought for my entire life. College and government operated schooling have taken from me but given little back. Most of what I bring to the table was self taught, through pain and error. I cannot live a day in my life with the word "college" shoe-horned into it. Mock me for what I am, but I moved into my parents because my older brother wanted to stay behind after the move. I've not here to collect dust, not because i want to, but I am giving life everything I have and I expect just a tiny bit of credit in return.
