He is just reflecting the frustration he has with his parents. I’m sad to say this OP, but that bad relationship with your parents will be lifelong. You are being self destructive because they really suck. You’re stuck, and I have no solution for you other than to stay in school (ah, but that’s what they want, I hear you, and that’s them winning, I get it), and be successful (ah, but that’s what they want). I don’t like letting people win that have no business winning. But that’s what it is. I don’t know what to tell you, the whole thing is fucking crazy. So, I will just show you Dennis Rodman’a hall of fame speech. Not only did he do all the right (and wrong things), but at the most ceremonious event he elegantly invited his mother, and still told her ‘you are not a part of this success’: https://youtu.be/uwbI15Ucl8s https://youtu.be/uwbI15Ucl8s It’s a long fight, but I think that’s the only thing that’s gonna work.

Unless you know something we don't, there is precious little in the OP's post that hints at a damagingly bad relationship with his parents. They are upset because he dropped out of -- college, I guess? -- but it's a bit of a leap to say that being upset your kid dropped out of higher education and doesn't seem to have direction is evidence that they "really suck".

  If you can’t tell, then you can’t tell. It’s not for everyone to get it. If you want a hint, read the whole thing. The whole thing pisses off who? Not me, I’m not his parents. Not you, you ain’t his parents. Not his boss, they ain’t his parents. And then finally read the last sentence or two, ‘my parents are very upset’. If you can’t tell, then you can’t tell.

    Or you could be projecting your own experience or that of someone close to you onto what he wrote, is all I'm saying.

      There are many universal experiences, pattern matching is sort of a software developers forte. My comments went into the negative and then brought back to a positive, so I’m not alone. The OP has not refuted anything either.
