My mom still doesn’t understand what I do, dad is very understanding now and very supportive. Initially, both of them never believed me and it was very difficult for me mentally. I’m glad things worked out great in the end. So I urge people to rebel against their parents also because eventually they will understand, otherwise, both the parents and you will be unhappy due to not being able to accomplish what you want in life. The best thing to do is to get out and be alone. I did the same, I live in the same city as my parents. Things were never easy, but in time things will work out for everyone.”
