Tamara, hang in there. I think people who haven't experienced the thoughts and feelings you're talking about just don't get it. But a lot of people here do! That's what makes this message board such a good support system for so many of us.
You deserve a lot of credit for knowing you want better for yourself than what your parents had and say, and for taking steps to make it happen. That takes a lot of strength. Good luck to you!
