Mydish1 Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Over the past several months, I have certain health concerns I'm not happy about and I've gone to see doctors and even wound up going to the hospital once for an unknown problem that occured..doctors/physicians arent know-it-alls, in fact I find a lot of them to be idiots. And because of that I have family members - namely my bro and my mom who keep intervening in my personal life. The very instant either of them find out something has happened, they butt into my life and tell me i have to do X and X. They practically give me a lecture on it. I'm in my early 20's, I know how, where and when i should see the doctor or where to go to get examined..and possibly even search for answers. While I know that they do care about my health deeply, this isnt how they should be going about it. Both of them are often control freaks, they should be supporting me and NOT trying to intervene and NOT telling me what I should do. I admit at times I can be complacent about this, perhaps I'm not afraid of death or perhaps because nothing seriously life-threatening has happened...but i do go about getting answers on my own time. As bad as it may sound, I'm not making as much of a big deal over it as they are. And I know from me, they are getting their egos stroked. Not because of my condition, but because I give them a purpose to be the boss of me (or try)...and their egos are getting the best of them because they think they're doing something good for me. It's frustrating, and often I dont put my foot down on them which is likely why they persist. And it's pointless to do it to my mom because she'll use my own words against me... what do you guys think? do they have a right to butt into my life?
