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 left home when I was 20. They had always told me “As long as you live in our house you must follow our rules.” I accepted this and when I tired of those rules, I left. My relationship with them improved when they saw that I was responsible and self-sufficient.

@bijouxbroussard Thank you, I feel that is what I have to do. I just have to stand my ground and move out. And show them I can take care and sustain myself.
