[quote=Anonymous]I had a mutual breakup with a 30 something year old bc he won’t move out of his parents home even though he and his sibling have 1M saved from never leaving despite having good jobs that are stable , etc.

It’s funny the parents wants grandkids yet they won’t let their kids sleep with their girlfriends overnight….they like being there so they can vent their bad days and the house is always clean/they can see each other, etc.

As a parent, if you need financial support your kids can send you money and talk to you on the phone regularly if you are not suffering from a chronic illness. To keep them at home well past their 30’s is selfish. I noticed they can’t handle anyone saying something that isn’t agreeable as a result of the dysfunctional household.

What if people like this can’t see they aren’t healthy and say they’re happy and don’t care? I know to let them be but….anyone ever been able to get through to people?

My mother is overbearing and will show up when I move when she is uninvited. She says I can’t move on my own (in my 20’s) when she made things worse by rearranging how I packed some items. I kicked her out for thinking she knew better than me, being overbearing hurts more than helps, I hope anyone struggling with this sees I’m not an awful person, I’m an independent adult, that strives to create healthy boundaries.[/quote]
