I stood up for myself

Ok, so a quick recap in case you didn't want to read through the previous post.

This weekend was meant to be spent with my parents looking around the London commuter belt to get an idea of places I might want to live and looking around at houses.
They had taken over and had wanted to go to here there and everywhere completely away from where I wanted to be.

But, i stood up for myself.

I got there and texted them saying "arrived at station, stay where u are I will come to you for a coffee" (they were staying in a hotel near by.

I got there and just made coffee and did the normal catching up type chat and then things moved to what the plan was for the day. queue:

"yeah, im abit confused by that"
"really why?"
"Well I thought we were going to look around places along my train line, but last night the places you mentioned are completely un-helpful to me"
"Oh, we did wonder - where do you want to go then?"

SUCCESS!! and much to my surprise, they were happy to do what I wanted, they were happy to go where I needed and they did not hate me for it.

so, maybe I am worthwhile and maybe i am loved!? Mental
