I wish I could give you answers, Gracia. But I can tell this is less about yourself, and more about your relationship with your family. As such, an Evronian is worthless as a point of reference. Not to mention that our passage into adult life is much less fraught with complexity than yours appears to be.

However, there is something I have to give you - your father informed me of your birthday some days ago, but so far I have had no opportunities to deliver my present to you.
