None. I don't live with them anymore.

That's not to say I don't take their advice, but any decision is ultimately mine.

Outside of work, they control most aspects of my life. Can't even leave the house without permission, an explanation of where/why I'm going, and the EXACT moment I should be arriving home. I have to text when I arrive, and when I'm leaving, and if I'm late at all they want to send the cops after me. You might think this is just overprotection, but the reason the cops would get involved would be because they'd report the car stolen and have me arrested. They pretend to want me to have a life of my own, then undercut and sabotage every effort I make.

It goes so far as to even harm themselves just to keep me under their thumb. We have 2 homes on our property, one for them, and one for me, instead they've moved into mine. Back when I caught Covid, at the first symptom, I told them that I'd relocate to the empty one to try and prevent all of us from catching it. So, they locked it up. With no where else to go, and my place full of people, we all got sick.

Don't sigh at me, instead work on making boundaries and respecting yourself as an adult.

Saying you can't grow up is literally childish

How much control do your parents still have over you?
Technically I have more influence over them now.

Do you live with them?
No.

When did I say that? I'm the main source of income for the household and take care us all. Simply because I have no freedom outside of my household/work doesn't make me childish, I'm just tired of all the disrespect such a stressful life brings.

None. However, I was forced to move in with them last year due to covid and moving back to Canada from Asia. Thankfully, we got our own apartment recently and things are starting to take a turn for the better. Now it's just my wife, daughter and I again.

You literally have all the control then if you are the one supporting them. I agree with him, you need to grow up. I know a bit about your history and how fucked up your family is, but you are literally the one in the position of power here. Cut them off and move the fuck out. See how long they last without your support. You owe them nothing after the years of abuse you've suffered at their hands.

Now it's on you to make a change in your life. You can't just go on enabling your parents behavior.

None. I don't live with my parents, but I have joked that I am going to move back in when my current lease expires.
Actually, since I suddenly retired earlier this year, that's less a joke than it used to be. They plan to move out after my pop retires next year and I wouldn't mind living with them until the end. The only things stopping me are that I have a girlfriend and that I live in another part of the country.

I haven't seen or talked to my Mom in over 10 years. Dad's been dead for 10 years and out of my life for 20.

Even when I was a kid my parents weren't all that involved in my life. As young as middle school they had no idea who any of my friends were, where I went and hung out or what I did.

From what I've seen, you seem to happily embrace the fact that your parents still treat you like a small child.
