Naaz,

It can be difficult with parents who don’t support your decisions in life.  It is even harder when you live with them.

Consider this as part of you “growing up,” i.e. being mature enough, self confident enough to stand on your own decisions.

Great that you are a better person with your boyfriend.  Right now you say you are not confident enough, not strong enough, and too fearful and scared of your parents to fully live the life you want.  It’s a growing process.  This challenge of your parents is giving you an opportunity to become more confident, become stronger and braver.

In most societies and cultures, living on your own is one of the first steps in becoming your own person, on being a “grown up” and an adult.  Look to that as a goal.
