Does my dad support my life choices
TLDR: My dad approve of everything my other brothers do except what I want to do with my future. My little brother like basketball and my older brother wants to go to the air force to study psychology. I want to go to the navy to prepare for my life as an adult and I want to have a career as sometime of artist. But my dad doesn't approve of any of it. Keep in mind my dad is a hypocrite, thinks his always in the right and manipulative.
Back story: I'm in highschool and next you is my last year. So I have to prepare for what I'm going to do after highschool.
The first paragraph is just to give you and example of who my father is but you can skip it.
Here's where the story begins, my parents are Christians and sometimes we all gather in my parents room and pray. My dad started to read a verse and the Bible but it was in French, so I didn't understand. I decided to start praying, while I did this my dad finished then everyone else started praying. I finished pray way before everyone else and waited for them. Right when everyone finished my dad looked at me and angrily asked me "why didn't you pray?" I responded that I did pray. We had a whole conversation about the importance of God and praying.
After me my dad and my mom argue about weather I prayed or not. Somehow it became a discussion about what I'm going to do with my life. Like if I'm going to college, what I'm going to study, my career and ESC. The thing about my parents is that they believe that sports is where the money is at and my little brother he loves basketball, so they approve everything his going to do with his life. Me I want to be some what maybe a animator, comic illustrator, manga illustrator, YouTube animator or just anything that has to do with art. But my parents don't think that being an artist is a real job. He said that" artist don't make enough money to live a comfortable life" but his works at Disney.
Another thing I want to do with my life and I plan to do this even if I end up regretting it in the future is going to the navy. I feel like I need to go to the navy because i believe I can learn how to make good choices in my life and learn how to be a resent human being while I'm in the navy. Plus they will pay for your education afterwards. My older brother want to go to the air force because he wants to be a psychologist (this is what my parents told me his reasons are) and they completely support him. When I told them I want to go just because I feel like it's what I need to do they just laugh. But the one thing I hate the most that they do is tell me how other people do this and that and it ended up great so why can't you do it. They have this mentality that as long as your making a lot of money you are happy. I told them that I don't want to become an artist because of the money, my dad laughs.
One last thing, my dad said the when my little brother watches basketball it's helping him learn. It doesn't matter weather his watching it on the TV or on his phone. But when I'm watching anime, cartoon or YouTube I'm not doing anything but helping the producers make more money by watching their shows. I'm still confused how my dad thinks that what he just said makes any sense.
