Well as the others said, Get counseling if you feel there is a problem Number two, why do your parents have to know if you feel any criticism coming from them. As a 20 year old you can contact a counselor and they have no reason to contact your parents, especially not without your permission.
As Resipsa said the more balls you are trying to juggle, the more likely one or more balls are going to slip. And with all the losses in your life, you are looking at an abyss that can seem overwhelming. Hopefully you are taking something in College that you enjoy and can build a life around. If not then maybe in a few years you will have to go to College again. Not the worst thing that can happen. But the more that is going on in your life, the more overwhelming life seems. This happens to everyone, for us it can just seem worse because we have so much more going on in our head. Take a deep breath and just try to picture what happens next. Without the extra support do you feel that you will be able to pull out of the vortex you are currently in. What type of support do you think would be best for you. What do you envision the final outcome would be. If you think that anything will bring perfect peace and happiness, I am here to tell you it is never going to happen. Dirt happens, and then you die. Move on. If you think that you will get a better handle on the dips and valleys that inevitably come to all of us then you are looking at things a little more realistically. A counselor is there to make sure that you have the coping mechanisms to recognize your own voice and to have the best outlook to handle life. They will never offer guarantees or happiness.
I am not trying to discourage you from seeking help, just letting you know that even with help nothing will be perfect. Perfect doesn’t exist. But you can be happier then you are now, and you can start to view yourself as a success instead of the second class child your parents had. We all have strengths, sometimes we just have to look a little harder to find them. Good luck finding your passion in life.
