I'm the oldest of two girls and i'm in my 20's. My dad is naturally a "bossy" kinda dictator guy and my mom is naturally a control freak. For the past few years now, i've been given empty promises and realized that i've been dependent on them (for my age) and have started to change routes. In my teen years, i was rebellious and selfish, then i went through an "obedient" phase with them - and now i want to balance those two - do what i want and need to do without disrespecting them. I feel like i can't do anything without them freaking out, bossing me around, getting "too involved" in my life, giving me unnecessary drama, negativity and guilt-trip, and a lecture. If i don't "listen" to them word by word, my mom breaks out into this "actress" and does the whole, "fine - do whatever you want. i'm only tryin to help" even though i know deep inside what I'm doing is RIGHT FOR ME. Why are they like this and how do i change this?
