Get away from me

By OhLovely - 01/11/2012 01:39 - Canada - Mississauga

Today, I found out that my over-controlling parents would be moving in next door. I'm almost 23, and moved 5,365 km away to get away from them. FML

I can tell you really wanted to get away from them because you counted the exact number of kilometres.

Well it seems it is time to move again.

Is it possible to get a restraining order on your parents?

Tell them to either give you some space and stay in your life or you'll kick them out of your life forever.

You counted? You must really want to get away from them.

Just tell them how you really feel about them moving in. Hopefully they will understand and not go though with the move.

The key words here are "over-controlling". I doubt OP's parents will hear one word,

with over-controlling parents, requesting something called "space", "privacy", "freedom to make my own decision(s)", tends to make them temporarily deaf. until you threaten or give ultimatums, then they miraculously respond.

Well at least you have parents that care,not everyone does.

Overly controlling parents can be just as bad as parents who don't give enough care... sometimes worse. They should respect the OP's boundaries, especially as an adult.

Parents that don't care don't feed kids, hit them, lock them in closets, glue hands to walls. Yeah you are right just as bad as someone that would moved to make sure you have food and cared for

But parents like that aren't likely to just stop by every so often to make sure OP is okay and be respectful of space.

controlling =/= caring. Controlling parents may "care" about their children, but in reality they don't respect their children's privacy, and judgment otherwise they would behave like parents of a normal adult and let them make their own decisions and only intervene when necessary.
