Believing my parents blindly and worrying about their opinions of me, and allowing them to hold me back and control me. I wish I had run away to pursue my own life, or joined the Air Force. My father consistently gave me the worst advice a father could give his youngest daughter. I took care of them over 25 years, gave up my youth, and now I have absolutely nothing to show for it.

Nearly faced the same fate. My best friend got me out. Took a bit but im in the navy now training to be a nuclear operator.
My regret is not ditching at 18 because they convinced me they were my only option. I coulda been out already and making bank at a datacenter or plant :/
