NO, and I meant it this time.

Something happened recently, my family we have this family WhatsApp group where everybody comes, say what they want to say, pass information that is necessary. For examples this my grandma's burial the information of have we're going to meet, what we're going to wear, how we are going to cook food invitations and all so um I left school and didn't go back home. There's the post about it, I have written on hive about it before. My elder sister was like it's not nice that I left school and started working and not come and stay with my parents for sometime. I was like I don't want to finish school and go back home (they all knew my stand on this even before I gained admission) I knew the kind of family I came from, they would sweet talk you, they will guilt trip you and everything they can do to make sure you listen to them and I didn't want to take that chance. So my mom was like I should come back home. I told her I already have a job here that is paying fine I cannot just up and leave my job and that was when threats started coming from different angle in my family's WhatsApp group they talked they talked they said a lot but I was even surprised that I did not budge if it were to be before I'll get angry I will say a lot and I'll block everybody for this particular thing. I did not say anything and I've not blocked anybody life still moved on.

Recently, that was three days ago, my elder sister was like "when am I coming back so I could stay home fully with my parents" I will drop a screenshot of our conversation and I told her I will come home for Grandma's burial but I am not quitting my job you don't expect me to already pick up a life and then you want me to leave because you want me to stay at home with my parents. My mother has other children but some point I think they've known that once they say anything I'll shake I'll cry I'll start shouting. For some time now I decided to build myself, things that happen around me. I normally respond on impulse on this particular kind of issues, but this time I did not scream, I did not shout I did not say anything, I am not coming to stay in my parents house I already have my own apartment I have a job that is going well for me. My situation is a scenario of "we left home to feed home" and they asking me to come back now. I stood my ground and I will hear from them when I go for my grandma's burial tomorrow.

PS: I have resigned from jobs, dropped my dreams because my parents said so of which I still regret them till today. This time I'm not backing down.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you soon. 🤗

peace out ✌️

I used to think that I'm the only one that have this kind of family, I guess I'm wrong then. After my NYSC our oldest sister asked that I come home immediately, just to be staying and doing nothing, my dear I refused ooo, they got tired of talking and let me be.

It is good that you now make decisions for yourself. Know what you want, don't let anyone blackmail you. Thanks for sharing.

I love the way you stand on your ground and also love the way you didn't shout, scream or block them. At least they should let you work and be dependent on your own not on them, they should be the one encouraging you not discouraging or threatening you.
