writes: Hi, I am 23 yrs. old guy and am having problems with my relationship with my family. I come from a middle-class family and have been brought up in a very secure environment. As i have moved on with my life, my career is taking me away from my family and that is making me disconnected from them. I hardly share any thing in common now with my family other than food. Also my family members are always very much worried about me or sometimes even scare me about my moves in life. They have some sort of fears of the outside world and they don't want me either to go out there and experiment. So i feel a strong force of pull towards them and not going out on my own with my life. But i know i have to enter in to new terrains and explore life as i am a bit adventurous on my own. These fears of my family and their anxieties are making me weak and less confident as i don't really get much support from them for my endeavours. I abandoned my father because of his paranoia and attitude about life and towards me. But i feel guilty about it at times. Currently i also feel to be on my own in life. What do i do?

 well i personally think you do need to explore life. i think they should support you but even though they're just trying to protect you they're overprotective. i think that you should do what you think will be best for you, to be on your own in life for your oppurtunities or stay with your family, but just because you're going on your own doesnt mean you aren't communicating with your family right?
