discuss How to Deal with Overprotective Parents as an Adult?

​

Do your parents still treat you like a child even though you are grown up? How do you set boundaries while maintaining respect? Have you ever struggled with guilt for wanting to go far away from them?

Growing up with overprotective parents, I often disliked their constant concern. As a kid, I felt stifled and misunderstood. However, as an adult, I have come to appreciate their intentions. Their care shaped who I am today, and now I understand their protective nature came from love and concern.

My experience dealing with parent overprotectiveness started after turning into an adult. What I do is establish healthy boundaries by being open and direct when I explain what I truly need for myself to my parents.

It requires building clear boundaries when dealing with parents who show excessive protective behavior while respecting their position as my parents. When discussing matters I maintain composure to explain how I see situations.

How complicated this is, is that once one is an adult they should already understand the situation, the problem is clearly them, and don't even talk about if you no longer live with them, they should understand that it is your life and you live it how you want and you take risks how you want

Didn't we all experience the same thing from our parents? They do it out of love and not looking at hurting us because they know better than we do. It's sad they don't know when to stop witch makes us think they are overdoing it.
