[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think your terminology is throwing people off: radical honesty.  I think what you are saying is that you want to express and articulate how you are feeling to your parents.  You are asking how people express themselves to their parents, right?

You are using the term "radical honesty" because you have been swallowing your truth/feelings/opinions when interacting with your parents.  You are the one manipulating your own self for reasons unknown to us - maybe to keep the peace, maybe because you don't like confrontation, etc.

It's ok to share your opinions with your parents but because you have been keeping it all bottled up for so long, it feels "radical" to you.  Just start sharing your opinions with your parents but maybe do it kindly.  It sounds like you and your parents have a dynamic where one person is right and the other party is wrong, or maybe your parents pick one way and you don't feel like you have the right to pick another way.  It's ok for two parties to disagree and discuss it but maybe you don't like having these type of discussions with your parents.  That's ok too.  [/quote]
