Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I'm Indian, and my parents are the stereotypical Asian parents: never satisfied with anything I do, restrictive, controlling, etc. However, if I need anything, reasonably speaking, they'll try to get it for me.

This all came to a head a year and a half ago, when I was choosing where to go to college. I was picking between my local university, which is top 20 for my major (aero), and UC Berkeley for mechanical. I wanted to go to my local school, as I plan to go to law school anyway and this is just a backup. Tensions were running high, and the weekend before May 1st (the acceptance deadline) they pretty much interrogated me and tried to mentally beat me down for 4-5 hours a night, trying to get me to change my mind. I wasn't in the best place mentally at the time, so I was upfront on the first day that I wasn't feeling great, thought I might be depressed and wanted to see a doctor. They laughed at me and said that was an obvious lie, then proceeded with the questions. 

I have never been hurt mentally more than I was that weekend. The aftermath was horrible too - neither of them spoke to me for two weeks. It was only after I booked an appointment at the doctor and received a diagnosis of moderately severe depression that they started talking to me again.

Since then, I've been doing well here - I'm part of student government, I've had numerous event ideas that I'm working on for students here and I'm learning a lot - but like I mentioned before, it's never enough. I dread breaks or having to deal with them, because I just don't like them anymore. Traveling is awful since I can't just ignore them like I do at home. 

I understand their concerns over my decision at the time - I was young (just 16) and it was a good chance - and I understand that they have done a lot for me. I also know that now that I'm 18, I may be allowed more freedom. However, I think they crossed a few lines with their response. I'd like to also make clear that they pay almost nothing for my schooling ($2000/year) and it'll be $0 for the next two years if things go to plan. My scholarships and my other endeavors have done that much. Despite this, they're essentially forcing me to stay in my major, which holds barely any interest for me anymore.

When I get to law school, I plan to keep my visits to holidays only. I can't help but feel like I'm a dick, but to be frank I can't let go of what happened and I just do not like them anymore - I may go so far as to say that I don't feel any attachment anymore, but I would need to think about that more. I just want to finally feel like I'm doing something for myself, something that I want to do.
