What should i do?

I am a 27th year old lady who live with both parents. My dad is a pastor and we are Christians. So in 2015 i went to my first interview and it went great and they were ready to take me. So when i told my parents, The company i went was very far away from home. I was ready to start a life of my own and find the nearest places to stay but my parents were like "you don't know anyone in that city" or "we don't have a family that is near? .Then i had to let this position down because of them. My dad felt guilty and told my mom that maybe he was overprotective .He made a mistake and brought me a data to look for jobs.

Then 2016 ,he decided to buy me a car "Atos" to take me from point A to B so that he can't make the same mistakes but now i got a contract job far away from home and when i tell him that i want to take a car with me,all he says it "Your car needs insurance so that you can drive long distance, if accidents happens ,it will be up to him to pay it",and that time he registered the car on my name.

He doesn't know have a bonds with me but only my neighbor who is 35 years old and a christian too. He knows me down to earth and able to control me when i am angry. He knows me when i am sad or angry and know how to make me happy again.

Truly speaking i can't even take good decision of myself . I always doubt about myself and decision i make. I feel like my life is over and have suicidal thoughts. I even cry everyday in my room.

    Pretty,

    Life has many twists and turns, when isolated we lost track of time.

    I imagine this dilemma has occurred since you were a teenager, parents can be very overprotective.

    The situation you are in is not abnormal, many young adults live at home and enjoy the free room and board.

    However, you are different and need to be recognized - to have a purpose.

    Consider finding employment that is a shorter commute, the latter will allow your parents to easily adjust, since they will see you in the evening when you arrive home.

    The above will provide a slower release on your parents hold, taking small steps at first will nurse your parents away from you in a humble manner.

    You do know that the ridiculously painful grammar gives the whole thing away, right? If you're going to troll successfully, that's the first thing you've got to drop.

    Talk to your Pastor. Read your bible and pray.

    It sounds like your parents may be religious, but have gotten lost along the way when it comes to showing you how to stand tall in Christ. This is evidenced by your lack of confidence, your (sorry to say) immaturity, and your emotional state. Where they fail though, God wants you to know him and he will never fail you.

    First thing you need to do is realize that God has a great plan for you. He loves you beyond what you can comprehend, and therefore he has nothing but good for those who follow his will. You have been brought up in a religious home, but take some time to learn who God says he is firsthand. In doing this, you will know his will.

    Inside of that will of God's you are allowed to do anything. You can even disagree with what your parents think, but just retain honor for them and love as you are instructed to. You want to go out and work, so take a deep breath, get some insurance and head out. Don't rely on your parents to pay for you if you can help it. In fact, at your age, you should almost be supporting them. You have to think not only of your future, but theirs as well, as God instructs us to take care of our elder parents.

    For this reason, you should put all your strength into being successful. Not only in career, but in your walk with the Lord, as there may come a day when your own father may stray from God, and therein you need to be there to support him and have an answer for what God says.

    Your parents are more concerned with superstition than their own children.

    time to get out of there, and be who you are, instead of being who they have designed. That never ends well when parents do that. Actek is exactly correct, it is past time you got the hell out of there. Your parents do not have your best interests in mind.

    You should study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses and find the truth.

    Jesus said: "The truth will make you free."- John 8:32.

    Sorry about all of this man to be honest the best thing to do sometimes is read the words of Jesus especially Mathew chapter 5-8. It always bring me back to reality like even though everything sucks life really is about Jesus if you believe in Him. As long as He's first then you should have peace and joy in you but once you start trying to fulfill your own will over His everything will fall apart. So read the words of Jesus and they will bring you back to having the right mindset

    "I am a 27th year old lady who live with both parents.

    My dad is a pastor and we are Christians"

    I can't find one thing surprising in that statement...including the poor grammar.
