Ok here is the thing, I am a freshman at college, i have always wanted to go to the air force, but my parents are dead against it. Everytime i would tell them about it, they would turn me down, thinking it was all big joke and just stage im going through. Recently i have contaced an Air Force Recruiter, and really going to go forward with it. I want to become an Air Force Physician, but my parents dont want that and wants me to become a civilian physician.
so few days ago I told my parents, and now I hear my mom is really SICK, and its all my fault, because of the news. I am very confused and don't know what to do. Either follow my dreams or listen to my parents. And if I listen to my parents, I am 100% sure i won't ever keep any ties with them, I just wouldn't be able to forgive them.
So my question is, when will we learn to let children do what they think is the best for them, and stop trying to make decisions for them?

As for childern. We should not let them just do as they want. They are childern and we as parents are here to guide them.
As for adults, we have little say in what they can do, we just try and give them advise as to what we wish they would do .
I as a parent can never just sit by and let my daughter do what she wants and not say something about it. I love her and have to tell her if I think she is going down the right path.
Your parents just love you and want what is best for you. You have to understand that. But you also have to decided what you as an adult what you want out of your life. You also have to respect your parents for trying to help you be a good person and adult.

As much as I love my 22 year old daughter, and as much as I want her to do or not do certain things, in the end, I have to respect her choices as an adult. It's not always easy, but I've learn to listen and not always put my two cents worth in all the time. I raised her the best that I could, I have to trust that I did a good job to help her make informed decisions. I heard a lady preacher say once, don't live through your kids. If it's in their hearts to play the violin, don't make them play the piano. They'll rebel against it and you and be terrible piano players. If you let them play the violin, they may not become great violinists, but they will appreciate your support. So, my answer to you is to make a decision for yourself. I believe your dear mother is just afraid for your safety because of world events. As an added side, my uncle went to med school and was in the Air Force at the same time. He and his family got to see some spectacular things, and now he has been practicing civilian medicine for many a year. He makes a couple million a year. That info would make your mother happy. Good Luck!!

The last thing some parents would ever want is to stand in the way of their son's or daughter's dreams, but the last thing some parents want is to lose their son or daughter and have that son or daughter have his life cut short so he never gets to live any of his other dreams.
Parents often worry that sons or daughters who are as young as you are are "under the influence" of that belief that they are invincible and that their decisions may be being made based on that belief that nothing bad will happen to them. Nobody wants to take that sense of invincibility away from someone young because life often takes it away soon enough, but as long as someone is so certain he/she won't lose his/her life the fact is he/she just may make a decision based on a naivety that people twice your age no longer have (which is why they are so worried about the military for you).
