Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

Did you try to tell your parents about how you don't want to go and why? Sometimes even though we tell our parents our choice, they find it hard to understand. Maybe it's because of the age gap. You can still try to let them know that you don't want to go with them at all. Might you prove them that you'll be fine without going there with them.

Let your parents know how you feel about going, explain to them why you don't want to go and see you can come to some form of compromise. Hearing them out and having them hear you out, is a good way to see where you both stand on the issue and hopefully if you express yourself effectively and with conviction, they will see your maturity and try to compromise (although sometimes whatever your parents say goes) at least you have let them know how you feel and explained why you don't want to go. Hope this helps!

Try communicating with them and telling your parents about the reasons why you don't want to go. Letting them know how you feel might be helpful and make them understand you better. But, you may in return listen to their thoughts as well calmly. Also, you may figure out a pros and cons list about going with your parents may also help you have a more clear vision as to why you don't want to go and it'll also help you in explaining it your parents in a more constructive and clear manner. I hope this helps you out.
