Yes. And I advised you how you should deal with it. We can't make your parents be supportive.

Sure, several times. Yes, it hurt my feelings. Yes, it made me angry and disappointed. Regardless, I did exactly what I thought was best for MY LIFE.

I'm still recommending that you take the advice in post #4 of this thread. I'm betting your coworkers, friends and readers here who have tried to help would agree.

I've spared myself from the anguish of reading through both of your threads.

1) Your threads have almost nothing to do with real estate.

2) You should double-check your birth certificate. I'm having a hard time believing that you're really 40 years old!

I had a huge argument with my folks last night because now they go telling strangers in the store of my buying a house 40 miles away and this is too much. And these strangers are siding with my folks as to why I am doing this. I am going to call my attorney and cancel the contract . And start looking for an apartment and the end. I don't need this pressure anymore. And I am going to really limit my visits to my folks now because they went way too far with this

Dude.

Why do you care what these strangers think? Why are you even still talking to your parents about the process?

So you're going to cancel the contract on the house that you want to buy, rent an apartment closer to your parents yet not visit them often. This makes no sense. None.

You have issues that have nothing to do with real estate. But go ahead and cancel the contract. Rent an apartment and stew in anger and resentment while your parents are pleased that they bent you to their will -- likely not for the first time nor the last. You allow your parents to have too much influence on your decision making and that's your choice.

I didn't bring the conversation up about the house. They did. I kept quiet. But starting to broAdcast to other people these things is going a little too far . I can look for an apartment anywhere and cutting off to visit them. They will learn about pushing a person way too far

You should have walked away from the conversation.

Yeah, cancel the contract on the house you love. That will sure show them not to push you too far.

Cutting your nose off to spite your face. But again, this is 100% your choice.

If you're not going to visit them much you might as well get the house anyway, right? Why deny yourself the right to have a decent dating life and perhaps a marriage and kids in the future? You are being downright irrational in your thought process by cancelling the contract and letting your parents "win" as well. Wow, do you always want to be tied to their apron strings? Go out and buy the house of your dreams!

Well that is easy for you to say. You try getting jAbbed at that all the time. This will make them think about ruining someone's dreams that was becoming a reality now a nightmare. They will learn now the hard way when they ever need me and I am no longer around. That they should have thought about what they did

Childish as ever.

I don't mean to pile on, but you really need to take a step back and think about your life. You'll regret it if you don't get along with your parents (they're not going to be here forever), but you also have to be able to live with yourself.
