Depressed when visiting parents
posted February 18th, 2019 at 3:57 PM
Is it normal? I moved away to get some freedom to be myself and when I’m visiting, I’m stuck hearing moral judgments that I have to conform to all the time. I’m not conservative by any means, so I tend to feel trapped. Does this happen to other people?

I felt the same until I went very low contact. While I initially felt guilty for it, at least I've kept my sanity. I used to have panic attacks every time I visited or called my parents.
