Parents that are overprotective/helicopters/toxic

meisterman1985
Anyone here stuck with parents that are very difficult to tolerate due to their love being at toxic levels too far? Any advice on how to have more freedom in your life from them?

The only advice is to move away and limit your contact or, ya know, talk to them about how you feel. Whichever works.

Asian here. Helicopter parenting is asian lv parenting. But also yeah you will feel the suffocation of said helicopter parenting. Do not cut them off, since thats how they try to show their love for you. Tho you should move out and try to fend for yourself. Update them and tell them how you feel about it. Since my parents weren’t as hardcore… they understood and are pretty chill now…

Not aimed at anyone specifically: ~ Move out. The end. ~ If someone is an adult in the US (other cultures are obviously different) and you're still living with your parents while doing nothing with your life and you have no plan, then it's on yourself. Are you going to school while living at home to get a better job and support yourself? That's great. Are you working in a trade to gain experience to move up in position, again to be able to support yourself? Good for you. ~ Or are you sitting around as an adult still living with your mom and dad while making excuses for why you're doing nothing to change anything? If you're in your mid to late 20's and all you do is wake up under your parent's roof still to go work a minimum wage job, or part-time job, then you spend your nights playing video games, watching anime, and wondering why girls always look past you rather than at you, then go fucking do something about it.

I kind of get that with my mother, but I suspect it's not really love, just emotional manipulation to keep me around and continue to care for her. She seems pretty much incapable of taking care of herself so I have to do just about everything for her, from paying bills to driving her around and taking care of the home. You could say it was a major factor in robbing me of being able to have my own life, but she doesn't really care. She just gets upset and emotional when I talk about wanting to move out on my own, even when I try to work with her on it and make plans for at least being in the general area. As is, I've spent the last month renovating a house in an area she seems to really like. The hope being she'd be content here and I could go my own way. But short of her finding herself a new man in the area, I doubt that's gonna happen.
