How to deal with parents with good intentions?

0

I’m a 15 year old girl who has moved 4 times in my life and in the past year my family moved to a developing nation where a lot of things are very hard to do and I’m getting increasingly frustrated because despite me being sure they had good intentions in this move my parents keep going back on promises about me being able to go back to living in my native country which was a deal they made to me before we came over here. My mental health pretty much collapsed as a result of me being over here and the time frame they want us to stay here is not realistic for me because I have no doubts that I can’t handle staying. My parents are a wear of my mental state and I’m currently on antidepressant medication but they still won’t listen to the way I feel when I try to tell them, they just brush it off and say things like it isn’t my decision. My schoolwork has suffered horribly since I can’t find the energy to care about it anymore. I’m just really angry and hopeless right now because I feel trapped in this place and I always trusted my parents but even if they’re good people the keep tricking me into things since they think I can’t make my own decisions. I understand their concerns but all of them are things that I told them from the start were going to be an issue yet they still did them and now these problems are making it really hard for me to escape this family. Anyone with advice on how to deal with this situation please suggest something, I just really need other peoples point of view on how I can handle this.

Its hard now because you still have a few years before you can really make your own decisions but try to enjoy what is handed to you. I know it seems hard but if you want to be happy just go with it dont make it any harder than it should, but when the time comes know what you want to do and do it. But any way I wish you best of luck dont do anything drastic life can be beautiful as long as you try.

I can tell you.... They do know. They know you're suffering. And trust me.... I bounced around a lot too as a teen. But I later learned that they just wanted to give me the best life they could. They didn't want to hurt my siblings or myself.... But I learned that we weren't doing so well... Financially. But just have faith hun. They want nothing but the best for you. And you never know what tomorrow holds. Keep your chin up. *hugs*
