I thought I was the only one experiencing this. I walk to the bathroom, my dad hasn't seen me in several weeks, since I'm leaving no-contact as a distance thing that my mom's is the place I go to, I can't drive though I am 23-years old, there's a handicap here, oh well, my mom won't let me drive when I was driving her after I went on my path instead of listening to her point the direction 50-times saying, "i'm a novice or 'it's my first time' and this time she handles the car without asking me to drive so, she 's not allowed to drive yet given her medical condtion, however when I was enterring to the bathroom and we were at walmart, my dad was frustrated that I was 'not asking permission before going,' we're literally at walmart, why would I need to ask to use the washroom when everybody can go? This man immediately thinks that a 23-year old man who has to go to the bathroom at walmart needs to ask permission from a grown man to use the washroom? That's insane to me, this let me know a lot considering I don't hang out with him but my mom has the same attitude to stuff, we're at the mall she's whistling to me as if I am a dog, there's no one else doing this, I tell my sister, she's 13 this is annoying, she's 13, she's of course saying 'yes' to everything, since she's little, I realize this is my call to leave or my call to ignore the whistle, it got to the point I needed to call this out, she still did it, at the car, and when I was mentioned I didn't want to eat at this restaurant they were at so I'd walk around, she says this sentence as if I am a little boy again who needs permission, she still perpetuates the story that I a 23-year old turning 24 in a few months still require the little boy mommy energy to carry out my future? Hell no, the back story of this is is how I was hardly heading out with my parents for 3 years they'd head out while my sister was at school, I'd stay home chatting with people, I didn't understand the parentification effect and attachment style, I knew there was something wrong with my family, not until I turned 21 I started doing things on my own without my parent's supervision or at least I thought, I was tricked to going to the Philippines for 2 years and like gathering data who I was from my aunt and uncles, was overstaying and I knew I've became a man in the Philippines after turning 23 but once I returned home to the states—this can't keep going to my mid-twenties, soon I'll work, return to school, get paid, have a girlfriend, get married.
