AITA For Not Being Happy That My Dad And Stepbrothers Are Suddenly Supporting My Dreams Even Though They’re Deadset On Me Going To College?

So I’m going to keep this short(er than normal) as possible. I just graduated from high school and I have made the decision to take a year off and focus on building my business. I’ve wanted to own a business since I was little and for years I wanted to be a hairstylist. I’ve practiced for years, I used to do all my cousins hair for free when they were younger, I even used to ask my friends to let me practice on them.<br><br>I’m 18 and I have a pretty good following on social media, everyone always tells me that I’m talented and I’ve even had people pay me to do different hairstyles for them. <br><br>Earlier this year, before I graduated, I knew I had to tell my family that I’m going to take a year off instead of going to college. I’ve always been told that I need to go to college or I’ll be a failure. I know that isn’t true but my dad pretty much drilled that in my head. <br><br>So I sat down and talked to my dad about my plans and he and my stepmother weren’t supportive at all. He told me I was making a huge mistake, that I wouldn’t go far with just my GED and a cosmetology license, he even made some really mean comments and told me to go to college, get a good career, etc. I was pretty hurt but I told him that it was my choice and if he couldn’t support me then that’s his decision. <br><br>Ever since then he’s been spending way more time with my twin brothers (his bio sons) than me and he’s just been making a lot of passive aggressive comments towards me. <br><br>Fast forward to this week. I finally got my GED, I’m getting ready to sign up for classes, I’m investing money in better equipment, etc. <br><br>The day after I got my results, my dad and stepmother came to talk to me. They acted like they hadn’t been avoiding me for weeks, they acted like they hadn’t been making passive aggressive remarks towards me and they acted like they hadn’t been trying to make me feel like I was scum for choosing to chase after my dreams. <br><br>They told me that they’d been talking about my future and that they think I should be allowed to take a year off and explore my career options. They said that maybe this is what I’m truly meant for and maybe they should be more supportive of me. <br><br>I was shocked, I was honestly expecting them to be angry about me getting my GED. I didn’t think they’d be so supportive so I asked them why they suddenly felt this way and if that meant they were going to stop trying to make me feel like I’m doing the wrong thing. <br><br>They told me that yes, they’re going to stop criticizing me, everyone will be more supportive, etc. I asked them to list examples of what that means to them and they indeed listed a lot of different things. <br><br>I told them that I’m happy that they’re so supportive and that I can’t wait to share my accomplishments with them, etc. They left and I thought that was it, that they were really going to be more supportive. <br><br>Then I woke up yesterday and found them remaking my bedroom. They’re putting all my hair stuff in there and setting it up for me to be able to work out of there. I was shocked and I asked them why they were doing it. They told me that they want me to have a good place to work and they want to see me succeed. <br><br>I was confused because I told them I’m going to rent a studio to work out of. They said that’s fine but they want me to have a place to work at home as well. I was shocked but I was also happy and I thought that maybe they really are trying to be more supportive. <br><br>Fast forward to now, I’m being called an asshole because I’m not being thankful enough for my parents and I’m not acting like I should be so, so grateful for my “amazing parents” who are catering to me. <br><br>I guess what’s really got me upset is that this all just seems so fake. It all seems like they’re just putting on a show and that they’re trying to make it seem like they’re being supportive when really they’re just trying to get me to prove they were right all along. <br><br>They’ve been treating me poorly for weeks and now they’re treating me better than ever, they’re being more supportive and more caring and stuff. <br><br>I just don’t get why they’re doing this and that’s why I’m not being super excited about it. <br><br>The only people who are being supportive and telling me it’s okay to feel the way I do is my mom and my grandparents on both sides. <br><br>AITA?
