Wow @eveokonma. It takes alot of courage to voice what you said. That's a difficult place to be. I can't even imagine what that was like for you since both of my parents have always been around for me.

My parents have been there and continue to help me in many ways. For that I am thankful. I wourldn't go that far to say I resent my parents for not encouraging me to develop my skills and gifts and to go for what I wanted. But I can tell you this. I think about it almost every day.

In fact I remember very vividly my mother telling me to give up music because it wasn't a real job and people didn't make money doing this. This has hurt me for years now. At this point I am here and like @georgechuks stated, I have to embrace the fact that I'm in a rut and work to get myself out. That is exactly what I am doing now.
