My mother is trying to control my life and I don't know what to do.
I am in my early 20s and I still live with my parents because I can't afford to live alone.

My mother says that if I live under her roof I have to follow her rules. She is trying to control my life. What should I do?

<div>Hello. </div><div>It sounds like you and your parents are not balanced in your communication and awareness&nbsp;of&nbsp;expectations. Your growth is not only reflected in your ability to understand and apply new knowledge and skills, it is also reflective of your parents acceptance of your understanding and application. </div><div><br></div><div>Have you tried talking with your parents to let them know your concerns?</div><div>This talking is best when face to face and during non active conflict ( can't begin stating rules during an argument, etc). Sometimes it is even helpful to write down ways you feel you can be supported by them&nbsp;and supportive to them. Maybe share this list or reflective piece with&nbsp;them to review, or use when communicating the expectations. </div><div>Unfortunately, until there are clear expectations stated and expressed, the scale will be uneven and frustrations will increase. </div><div>Dr. T<br></div>
