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.
Well google probly did the counting
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,
It says over-controlling not deaf.
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.
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.
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.
You're 23. Speak up for yourself!
Move. Get out of there, ASAP.

I can tell you really wanted to get away from them because you counted the exact number of kilometres.
Run. Run fast and run hard.
