Thanks for highlighting this issue, bc it happens to so many in the desi community, but not limited to it. People struggle with this point until they realize they can’t make both happy on many topics. One has to live one’s life.
I had to accept that there was no way I was going to be able to be happy AND make my mother happy at the same time. It was one or the other. And she already had her chance at life-my life is MY life
Don’t think of ending your life, think of LIVING it-exactly the way you want

One should one’s life as long as it isn’t physically harming parents. I say physically, because emotionally they can get hurt, because we don’t meet their “traditional expectations”.

Thanks!
Yes, I've accepted that there's no way to make them happy when I what I want is not what they want for me. I have to keep pretending I'm still muslim but I think I'll manage, for now. -
Take heart there are more people out there that support you than you know.

Parents often drive their children to achieve and sometimes with cruel consequences , they forget their children are not clones.
