I am 26 and still live at home. I pay for 40% of the family's bills. I am a vocal music teacher at a junior high school. I have a sister who is 22. My parents wants me to spend more time with them and talk about my life & my problems. Growing up as a teenager, I never really got along with my parents with my family because me and my sister fought constantly and all my parents did was favor her and said I was always wrong by not giving in to the little sister. They never understood who I was and felt that I hated them but I actually love them. I am embarrassed to talk to them about my problems now because I feel I am too old to. My sister is 22 and doesn't talk to them about her problems. If I talk to them, I feel I am more dependent than her. That is not right. In a family, the youngest is suppose to talk to the parents more than the oldest, right? I feel guilty about not talking to my parents, but I want to feel more independent than my sister. What I can do? Am I wrong?
