Hey guys, I am 20 years old and i feel like all my parents want from me is to be their source of validation. Whenever I talk to them about what I want to achieve for myself they dismiss it. If i don't talk about grades and money my dad doesn't encourage me at all and he is very self-centered (understatement). My father never sat with me to talk about what I could do in the future. Recently I've been taking care of my health and i am progressing on my own. Did anyone here have an emotionally unavailable parent (especially father)?
