and do you not find this abusive, disrespectful,ect?
and what have you done about it out of self respect and for the sake of your own peace of mind?
How did you find your road to happiness after being pushed down for so many years? What attitudes did you adopt to bring more abundance on many levels for the present and future?

Pretty much ... When I was 25, my father died and my mother and older siblings actually took me aside to tell me my father "was never coming back". Hello, I was 25, married with a 2 year old baby, and living in my own home.
I'm 40 years old now and my mom lives 5 states away- when I visit her, she becomes upset if I dare take a nap on the couch (even tho it's where I have to sleep, she has no spare room or bed), and makes me turn off the TV by 10pm. She also throws a fit if it starts to rain and I have the TV or some other "thing" plugged in. I definitely can't do any right by her and will forever be the baby ... I've stopped trying to get her approval or impress her- it's too much stress.

Five weeks ago I broke my leg. My parents came to "help". My mother practically followed me to the bathroom and offered to wipe me. I had a melt down and screamed at everyone and all was OK. BTW I'm in my 40's with a husband and 2 children. I've learned that they are my parents and it doesn't matter how old I am they will always be my "parents". The sooner we realize that the better off we are.

My grandparents raised me and I was lucky in that they treated me like the person that I was at the time, not the kid they raised. My mom was a different story. She was always trying to tell me what to do and how to do it - and I'm in my 40's. She did that right up to the day she died, about a month ago. I would just let it roll off my back and do what I wanted and she never said anything. How could she? She had no authority over me! But, you have to prove to your parents that you are a capable adult before they ever think about treating you like one.

When my friends offer advise, I listen. When my mother offers advise, I cringe. Sometimes I get the same advise from both, but coming from my mom, its annoying. Why is that? I actually keep as much as possible from my mother, just to avoid her comments. The less she knows, the better off I am.
