My mom and I are in a strained and formal relationship. She has talked to my dad, and she says that they are going to make me quit my job, get me away from my gay friend, and make me work for my dad in the oil field. Gawd almighty
Please don't let this happen. You are now an adult. It is essential for your personal well-being that you draw a line in the sand on this. If you have to move out and become more independent then so be it. The struggle to get onto your feet will be far, far easier than struggling to live your life according to the will of your parents.
Best of luck!!
