I'm moving out in a few months, but my parents are treating me harshly/unfairly now. I'm 20 yrs old and not a partier/druggie or anything crazy, so they have nothing to worry about but they worry anyway, and their anxieties are driving me insane.
Also, I've read that kids lash out in anger when they're moving out in a subconscious effort to ease transition or something... Because I know my parents would hold that against me, I have been really careful with my attitude and everything, but they still treat me like I've done everything wrong.
An example is that I tried to help with unloading groceries one day and instead my dad just told me nastily to go away. They're constantly treating me like that with that attitude and I never get any apologies. They just assume that the problem has gone away since THEY got over it and if I haven't, it's because I'm grudge-holding or overreacting.
Any advice appreciated. I need to talk to them or I'll go nuts, any clues as to what I should say?
