Parents treat me weirdly

I don’t know where to post this, or whom to talk to.
But as a Muslim girl in Europe….my parents overreact every single time.

Before being covered I was always punished for being late outside, like how could I as a girl… which is weird because if something happens then I would be the victim so why they punish me??

They then started to give me tasks at home…meanwhile I have 3 siblings. Like cleaning and cooking if they went out everything should be ready. My siblings never cooked or cleaned in their lifes.

Then I covered up… things got quieter when I went out, which is weird cause why is going out not dangerous anymore. But they always ask where I go and be shocked when I go out, like it not human to get fresh air. They be like “you can do this and this at home…., there is so much to get done”

When I met a guy and involved them, they told him and his family this is only for “getting to know each other” not more. They didn’t wanted to commit. When I got into a fight with that guy my parents refused to talk to his parents anymore…..

I never saw that guy again. Never met a guy after.

When I started my job, all my parents talk about is my money. They refuse to give me money cause now I work. I can not bring something home without paying for my siblings too. They don’t give my siblings money so I have to pay.

When I cook something, my mom gets mad cause the kitchen is dirty. Meanwhile I cleaned everything and only if I’m there it’s a problem.
If I’m hungry and I want something she says “then go cook it, you are old enough” But for my siblings she always cooks. When I do cook something she is mad cause I ate alone, if I cook then everyone should be offered what I made. Even though I know they won’t eat it.

So why is it only me they hate that much? I’m the only one independent in that household. Never did anything wrong. Always had to figure out everything alone. Why are parents like that. I’m 24… not 5 or 10.

Sometimes I’m so depressed, I wish to leave them and never see them again. But in Islam parents are very highly.

Also my parents love to say how important parents and family are, while they left them back home.
But I, in our tiny little apartment have to obey them.

I’m sick and tired. I got so far that I don’t listen to there ragebait anymore. I don’t tell them personal stuff, I just do it. They are so mad that I’m independent while my siblings would die without them.
