Until my mother died, she talked about how lucky I was to have my brother. She never ONCE said he was lucky to have me. It affected how we viewed each other and how we treated each other. Still does, a little bit.

Just look up other threads on this sub forum. It seems meddling starts very early.

I have a healthy relationship with my parents and they couldn’t do this if they tried. What would they do?

For my parents, it was just a continuation of controlling my childhood. It doesn't matter how old I am, apparently. I am their child and they feel entitled to control. This is why I moved across the Atlantic to raise my family!

Because some parents are controlling morons who don't get it.
