I need emotional support rather than financial

My parents provide me financial support and I'm grateful for that but that has only kept me dependent on them.

I'm sure they have wanted to see me independent for a long time but I just haven't been able to become it. I want to become independent for my sake and theirs.

I just don't know how to communicate to them that I need more emotional support/encouragement than financial.

have some shame you’re in your 30s and leeching off your parents, you’re the one supposed to support and retire them

@G0ddess You didn't understand at all

@cyberdude28 I did, they’re getting old you should be their support not the other way round

@G0ddess No you didnt. I'm not asking for money.

@cyberdude28 why do you need their emotional support as a 30 something? When they’re the ones getting old and should be the one getting it from you?

@G0ddess It goes both ways in a healthy relationship honey.

@cyberdude28 demanding emotional support from old parents who have already spent their life on you is so shameful

@G0ddess forget you

@cyberdude28 good luck with such an entitled attitude ✌️

@thewindupbirdchronicles thats an obvious troll. don't feed it.

@thewindupbirdchronicles you ppl enable entitlement so don’t complain when modern society is crumbling
@G0ddess if you have to start with you people, while at such a young age yourself, you only know what you project.

@thewindupbirdchronicles it’s not about age it’s about being responsible without blaming others
@cyberdude28 It feels great to have our parents love us and believe in us, but you can't NOT do what you're capable of just because they don't. You can do it. Life is not too late. You have every ability to succeed right in front of you. You have a degree, and parents who are finanacially supporting you. go out andm ake something of yourself young man

@BRUUH yeah this person doesn’t realise that I’m being direct bc even my parents supported me financially but never emotionally, I resented them only to realise that I wasted my time and needed to be grateful for the way they sacrificed for me, parents are not gods we need to be responsible for ourselves and break the generational curses and help them heal instead of blaming them like teenagers
