what wud u do when u r different and dominated in your family?

How would you live your life if u are dominated, teased and not even given the freedom you desire in a conservative family? i've spent 25 years of my life bound to such rules and not one day goes by when i really wish i could die and be free. Every thing around me irritates me to the core. Nothing i wud do would satisfy them. For them i will always be wrong, my choices are wrong. They want me to live my life according to them. But i wont...in the end i will be free even if i have to choose death. I dont want to be a slave anymore😢

I was in that very same situation. I put up with it for sixty stupid years. When I turned sixty I finally said goodbye. It was hard but I walked away from my dad, brother and sister. I try to rid my life of the negatives and concentrate on positives. My life is so much better. Now when I do something I feel good about it and have people who thank me and truly appreciate me and what I can do.
You are in your twenties. Think of how you have forty more years than I do, you have your whole life ahead of you. Take your life and get away from the assholes that are keeping you down. You can walk away from them. It hurts especially if it's family but you owe it to yourself to enjoy your life and not to exist for them to shit on. Walk Away. It's that easy.

Yea. Such a waste of my life. Constantly the butt of their jokes. Never living up to my dad's stupid standards. A brother that would pick my brain and steal my ideas and plans in construction and then put me down. I was so stupid for waiting so long. When I dumped them, it was like instantly I could breathe and I have had seven good years since. No regrets that they no longer rule my life
