I have a lot I'm trying to do right now and I was looking for support. Both my folks get either ambilivant about my career change and the national guard or outright disapproval.
I don't need approval but it hurts that my parents of all people can't say they believe in me or tell me I got this. Best I can get from my mom is "I understand." I tell her I'm not looking for just understanding and I called her cold. She gave a "well..." face and admitted she was cold and said "You're looking for something I can't give you." That really hurt. Really hurt. --- Don't tease the octopus, kids! ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's the exact thing that leads people's kids to stop talking to them. I'm sorry she said that.

sounds more like she's sure you're going to do it, which is what she doesn't want
that's like the ultimate form of belief, but at the same time it hurts her because it'll accomplish the opposite of what she wants --- Disclaimer: There's a good chance the above post could be sarcasm. Die-hard Oakland A's fan --- Keep the A's in Oakland! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dont see why its this hard for parents to think of their children as individuals with their own lives. If what youre doing doesnt affect them negatively why wouldnt they approve? They sound controlling. You probably wouldnt act the same to your potential kids so take solace in that. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/634d8829.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

She doesnt need to like it. Shes being civil and not insulting you. But the truth is, she doesnt like it, and part of life is accepting things we dont like.
She probably is a bit happy for you, but as a mom, she is maybe also worried and scared for her kid joining an occupation that might end in violence, in her mind. --- ORAS secret base: http://imgur.com/V9nAVrd 3DS friend code: 0173-1465-1236 ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's classic parental passive aggression.
But it's hard to blame them. If you're doing something they don't approve of, they might feel that it is not in your best interests to support that. But on the other hand, they want to stay civil and avoid direct conflict. That probably is a much as you can expect. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. ... Copied to Clipboard!
