[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I agree that they have a right to say no but this situation goes a bit deeper than just asking for permission. They set him up to be dependent on them. They never allowed him to take a job in high school even though he really wanted one. He has never had a chance to gain any independence or maturity. [/quote]Yep - my guess is there's some addiction in this family because these people act like huge co-dependents. If I were you, I'd stay out of it. You can't fix them. They do not want to see that they are screwing their kids up and that they're most likely going to be "rescuing" their son from bad decisions for the rest of his life - whether he likes it or not. I hope to god he manages to break free of them and develop some maturity but I'm guessing that those are long long odds, given how determined these parents are to stay in control.[/quote]
