@tobi80 I think your parents' position on school and mental health makes your situation more complicated than meets the eye. It's incredibly common for wives and mothers to get stuck with most of a family's mental load by default, against their will. (Here's a comic illustrating what that means.) It's not fair to make that much extra work for someone else and force them to beg or nag you all the time just to pull your weight. However, by keeping so much control over your life at the expense of your ability to form stable relationships with other people, your parents are hindering your maturity. If they don't think conventional schooling is a good fit for you, then there may be better alternatives out there, but sacrificing your social-emotional development for high school math is not one of them. If you have any hobbies that regularly get you into positive group settings outside the home, maybe using those experiences to practice being your best self will help you learn to manage your family relationships.
