I DIDN'T WANNA TAKE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, BUT I WAS FORCED TO DO SO!! AND I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH IT!! I DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND CIRCUITRIES, AND YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE ON THIS PATH???!!! WHAT KIND OF MOMS ARE YOU??!!

I went to the chair of civil engineering to apply for logistics, and although it'll take me three years to complete the program, I'll get dual degrees! That's just awesome! One from the college, and one from Germany (it's an academic thing which I don't really get it, but you know). Isn't that amazing? Two degrees at a time?? I'd say the time is worth it.

But my 'dear' mother is more worried on how long will I remain in college. She wasn't worried about my brother when he was getting a DIPLOMA in aeronautics engineering (took him six years to get it), while I'm gonna get DUAL BACHELOR degrees if I managed to complete the program. And we all know bachelor is better these days.

My mom needs to be lectured on how to treat her son. Yes she does need it. Cuz clearly, she doesn't know how.

"Oh you've been here for four years already! When are you gonna finish?? You are hopeless! You'll never succeed!!"

Says the one who didn't even get a college degree! I rather take long in studying something I'm interested in (and easy) than to continue on something I don't like!

And unless you're forgetting something, I was fired two years back from a university since their system is just utterly sick, and most of their personnel are not qualified to teach. Not to mention I was forced to take the same major, electricity, there.

She needs to be taught that she has to let me choose the path I wanna take, rather than trying to 'convince' me to take a path I was forced to take.....and she even wants me to go on, regardless whether I like it or not.

"Your brother got his master in aeronautics, and he wasn't even interested in it. Now he works in the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corp, and he doesn't have an idea on nuclear energy. And he's fine. Why can't you be like him??!!"

Well, mom, maybe you should've thought twice before saying that.

1- Not every person thinks like that.
2- I don't HAVE to be like my brother.
3- The new major I'm applying for is demanded in the armed forces more than electrical. They even offer sponsorships for it, and who knows? Maybe I'll get this chance and become an officer!

But her skull is too thick to get all this into her, and she never listens to me. She always thinks she's right and I'm wrong, but not this time.

I can't believe the person I trust most betrays me like that! I started trusting my friends more than her! She wants to kill me (not literally) with her words and attitude!

Moms like her are the reason why we have criminals, rebellious teens, and bullies.

I'll follow the path I picked, AND I DO NOT CARE WHO SAYS WHAT!! I chose, and that's final! I'm sick of taking orders from someone who doesn't even care about her son's life. All she wants is the degree.

I'm thinking of going to court one day. I'm done with the mistreatment I'm getting.

Seriously, that mom of yours doesn`t even behave like a mom, more like a despotic stepmother. Apologies for that, but ... yeah, this definitely sounds like some serious thing.
Just remember, parents can be real asses when still trying to do such things, only because well, we are their children and they are worried about us and all, but they should definitely see that we as children are not so young that we would obey them at all costs and according to their own expectations anymore. No matter once you fully separate from your family it will be tough as nails in first few days or even weeks and months. And as a fun fact, in our country`s history of famous people, around half of them actually resisted with their own parents and went their own ways, no matter if they, as a consequence, were not allowed to go back into their parent`s house anymore. We just need to get on our own legs, stand on our own and be enough brave to go our own way, even if it means separation from our own family.
Too bad I cannot tell you anything about my own mom though ... she died when I was born.
