I am 23 years old and my boyfriend is 27 years old. We work in the same company and we love each other for 1.5 years. He got his parents' acceptance for our marriage. I told my parents about our love 2 months back. They do all sort of emotional blackmailing. They say "If you want him, go out of this family and never come back. We will shift this place and go somewhere, so that we don't have to face the relatives". I love them too. But I can't marry anyone else for their wish. Its like suicide for me, if I do that. They don't let me anywhere outside, seized my mobile phone and stopped my outside contacts completely. Its like house-arrest. My boyfriend tried to speak to them. But they are insulting him, even without listening. They love me, but only until I listen to whatever they say. All my life, I never had anything I wished for. They bought me everything and done everything a parent must do, but without taking my wish as a major factor. I am totally depressed. I want them to understand me. My brother is young (17 years). So although he approves of me, he can't support me against them. My HR manager spoke to my dad and gave me "work from home". That's why I am able to mail you now. If somebody can do something to make them realize my pain, I will have a life, worth living for. We live in India - Chennai. So, I thought the major problem will be caste. But, as the days pass, I see that their problem is: "What I say must happen - nothing else". I just can't believe this attitude. It creates a lot of mental pressure inside me. I am afraid sometimes, angry sometimes, and I can't believe, I sometimes feel hatredness against them. Please help me with it.
Recently, I got on-site chance from my office. I asked them to let me go, as it is for only 2 months work. Actually, its my long-time ambition to work on-site. I told my parents. They didn't even consider my pleadings and said no and went. I am really have a strong feeling to die, rather than live here. But, my boyfriend will be in worst case depression, if I do something like that. That's the only reason, I am still living. I don't have anyone to speak to. I feel so lonely. I am always crying and nothing brings a smile in me. At times, I think that nobody is needed for me, let me go out of the house and serve whoever is in need of help.
Please help me
