I'm currently staying at my parents (I technically live on my own in another country, but I came to visit) and this morning, I unintentionally overheard a rather "disturbing" conversation between my mom and dad. Ew.
I'm genuinely traumatized, especially as I had just woken up and was going down the stairs to get breakfast.
Basically, my mom said she'd be ashamed of me if I were to marry a white or black guy and bragged about her friend whose daughters married guys of the same race. Then my dad was like "[i]Of course I wouldn't let her marry a white or black guy, can you imagine how he'd treat her? [Mod cut.]"
I ran back to my room and stayed there for a bit. I didn't mean to hear this conversation (obviously). I'm traumatized. I haven't spoken to any of them all day because I'm embarrassed.
Background: I'm 24 not 16

NEWSFLASH, you are 24, not 16, so stop acting like it.
As has been previously stated on some of your threads, you need to take responsibility for your life like the adult that you are now and make some choices to remove yourself from your parents influence.
You know you need some therapy, (as we have established on another thread).
You also know you need to get out of your parents home. They are and have been abusive to you!
I know it is not always easy to break away from the kind of hold abusive parents can have on their children, but you simply must start taking steps to do so NOW.
Over supper, I'd tell them I met a really great white or black guy while doing whatever you normally do in the country you live in. Throw in an "I feel so happy" and/or "he's such a great guy" and just sit back and see what happens.
