Talk: ask your parents to have a discussion. tell them that you want them to respond only in a supportive way and that if they will agree to that then tell them you are struggling and in what way. the key for this discussion is getting them to agree to be supportive and you can describe exactly what you want them to do or say. then reveal and see how it goes. are you really 31 years old?
