"I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!" - Alice, Alice In Wonderland.
No, you just can't.

Parents are often thought to be self-sacrificing.
But what happens when the parent think of himself/herself as being so, but is in fact only self-sacrificing financially?

I wonder how common it is for parents to impose their own wishes on their kids, regardless of how the kids think.
And it's funny how they think they are always right.
Logically, you'll say they are trying to protect their kids, groom their kids.
But in actual fact, I believe that's anything but protecting.

Many times, the decision made is just selfish.
Many times, it's just for their own ego.

As a parent,
You do not sacrifice your kids' happiness for your own.
I recognize you feel happy with him, that is your issue.

But you do not expect me to compromise with all the changes you made to my life all the time.
Especially when my life and relationship was already cast in stone.
You do not, you just can't, make me compromise my emotions all the time, so that you can protect yours'.

When will you ever be an emotional support?
The answer is, never.
