[quote=Anonymous]OP, your parents are who they are, and are unlikely to change. Gently...you're stuck in the grieving process because you haven't been willing to accept that about them. But once you do (and that's where the grieving really comes in), you won't feel as stuck, you'll see their choices/words/behaviors as their own (and yours as your own), and it will all seem less personal, and therefore less antagonizing. Then boundaries become more effortless and you can calmly and simply (and maybe even with some humor) state what you want and what will work, and what won't. In short, let yourself truly grieve (what you wanted and didn't get), so you can start to truly move forward. You owe yourself that, and your family now will also benefit immensely.[/quote]
