I Have Controlling Parents

I love my parents with my life, but I really can’t stand being with them in the same room for more than 5 minutes.

The greatest gifts a parent can give to an adult child are giving up control and providing emotional support (so long as the child isn’t a serial killer, drug dealer etc).

Sorry you’re not getting this; but it will be a great lesson with your own children.

Learning to let go is not something that comes naturally

I know how you feel, my mom keeps trying to control me all the time, we had a bit of a row on sunday dinnertime. We seem to be having a lot of issues lately.

What can you do to make the transition into an adult to adult relationship with them?

@Offthetop
Believe me, I’ve tried, but they want to control all aspects of my life, or judge me for what I think is correct, and I end up loosing my calm with them.

@KillerQueen1 They may never lose that instinct but hopefully you can get them to bite their tongues and save the judging for when they are talking about you after you leave.
