I'm 27, married, live on my own, college educated, have a job, car, etc, but my family STILL treats me as if I'm the same little kid that needs to constantly be told what to do! If I'm at my parent's house and mom's talking to a relative, she will give me the phone and dictate to me what to say like I'm 5 years old! I get lectured all the time for not calling relatives/visiting more. I get chastised if there is a function and I have to work, etc. We have a family member that will die soon, and if I dont travel across the country to go to the service, I will never hear the end of it, even thought I dont have the kind of life where I can drop everything! I'm tired of everyone acting like I'm still that little kid in the family (theres no kids around, so I'm actually one of the youngest right now). I'm afraid that one day I'm gonna explode at somebody and then I'll really be in trouble! Anyone have this issue?
