I'm facing a lot of the same issues. For instance, I want to move to a different state but I won't because my parents (mom mainly) is dead set against it using all sorts of guilt-tripping and manipulation techniques. Her saying is, "I can do anything I want to do there, here." Which is completely untrue. But I also want to be obedient in that I don't want to do anything unless I have the blessings of my parents. That approach is wearing me thin though. The fact is, I'm lacking courage to do what's right by me. Wisconsin isn’t really all that conservative, perhaps some counties but not the state.

I was the same, except that I always wanted to be a fashion designer and my parents told me I'd be poor and have no friends if I actually chose that path. Midway into my Biology major education, I did an amazing fashion internship, was yelled for it by my parents ("That was the most wasteful summer of your life! You could have been taking a chem classes!"), and then my life changed. I chose to pursue my own dreams and am now doing what I LOVE. It is all possible. It is in your control. I'm not saying it was easy to break free, because it wasn't, there was a lot of tears and screaming that occurred. But I am here now. And I am happy. I love this story.
