I am a 31(going on 32 year old) who has not spoken to my parents for 7 years...(they only know what goes on with me due to me speaking with my sister--six years younger than me--via email).
I am considering speaking with them, since I found a very special girl...yet, I still have that uncomfortable feeling when I think of them.
Growing up, they were more strict with me than my sister, pushing the Jehovah Witness religion 'down my throat'...and being more bullying than parental.
Of course, I wasn't allowed to date, play sports, go out with people my age. I was regulated to my room.
If my father had any issues with the congregation or at his job, he would take it out on me. Moreover, as he began to lose his jobs, he would take money from me getting upset if I didn't have a certain amount.
When my parents left from Long Beach to the Bay, they managed to take all my money (while I didn't have a job) to make their own life.
And the list goes on...
