I’m a 22 year old college student and I moved away to another city to pursue my higher education, but my relationship with my parents didn’t really change or evolve since i was a kid. I have no income of my own and am completely reliant on them sending me money so i can buy food and stuff, i live in their apartment that they have in the city where my college is located and i’m reliant on them for stuff like my phone bill and internet. i’ve been meaning to get a job, but i’m struggling with college due to mental health reasons which has resulted in a lot more work having to be done if i am to stay there, and as a result of my worse scores they’ve been lowering the amount of money i receive more and more, and having to budget on 25 euros per week for food while they bought hundreds of euros worth of fashion, perfume, and weird fancy meat things during their last visit doesn’t seem fair. They even confiscated my switch, which i’m genuinely cringing at as i type it, it just feels like they see me as a child. it’s like they have no empathy for any of my issues and i feel like i have to experience bad things twice, from the things themselves and for the inevitable punishment that they’d place upon me. The distance doesn’t matter at all and it just feels like i can’t do anything right, and when i do it’s often brushed over, complaining that i could have accomplished something even better. What can I even do in this situation? Except chase a standard that feels impossible and wait until i somehow get my own income, but that feels years away. i’m not sure what the point of this post is, i just wanna see if someone can relate
