Only problem I have with my parents, was the academic pressures they put on me. Sometimes I would break down in fear because I didn't get the grades that they wanted. To be honest, even though I had my greatest moments and experience in college; I really didn't even want too go in the first place.
My parents literally threatened to never have anything to do with me if I didn't go to college. Anything under a bachelor's degree and I couldn't talk to them. The pressure was just to much at times. That's why even though I grew up in Queens, I still got a campus dorm. I couldn't take it anymore.
My father only time he said he was proud of me is when I finished school ( Only time).
My mother also has put extreme pressure to get a MS degree or a MBA. Again she keeps threatening to stop talking with me because of it. It's so insufferable at times. I remember those breakdowns, so they could at least acknowledge me.

I know this is very insignificant to other people problems. Just wanted to get this off my chest.
