A 28-year-old man shared how he is working, going to get married and about to get his own flat but is still being controlled by his parents.
Here is the story:
“Are there any young adults out there who are still being controlled by their parents?
I am a 28 male, already working, waiting to get married and have been allocated a flat. My parents however are still demanding me to go home by a certain time, claiming that I will be assaulted / bad things will befall me because I am out late. They also insist to install a tracker on my phone.
I’ve tried speaking to them but it all fell on deaf ears, unsurprisingly. The worst part is that my parents often tell my relatives that I am a disgrace which then results in them coming to speak to me to be better (the usual relative talk over family gatherings).
This is really becoming extremely exhausting and short of just packing up my things, I really don’t know what I can do. Does anyone have a similar experience?”
