When did you start standing up to your parents? [I Love to Hear Thoughts And Opinions of Others]

I am 31 and still live my parents. They are very religious and strict. I will be moving out within the next few months.

As a guy I have natural curly hair.

My parents hate it, they want me to get something like this

That is not my style at all. I am planning to get something like this.

If I do they will complain like crazy. Plus my mom will start crying, praying and preaching. I am not trying to hear their mouth. I have respected them all my life. It's time for me to stand my ground. I am sick and tired of living such a safe and obedient life.

I have a very abusive family. When it came to the physical abuse, I started swinging back at 15. Only now at 24 I realized that have been gaslighting me and finally put my foot down.

@MorbidCynic I am so sorry you had to experience that. Physical abuse is never ok. I am happy you put your foot down. Hope you are in a better place now.
