Does anyone have parents where you just want nothing to do with them cause all they want to do is control your life?

I am unable to grow as a human because either my dad doesn't trust that I'm able to plan or make good decisions, always questioning me on big decisions so I'll give up, and my mom has a habit of pretty much telling me that I won't amount to anything.

How does one move forward in life, if these boomers only see you as a child and nothing more than a child?

I'm 38 years old, wishing that both my parents were dead already, so I can live freely.

This has caused me to never want to talk to them, ever again.

I can go a year or more without talking to my dad and I'd be fine. When I'm at home with my mom, I just block her out by making music, having my headphones on all day.

I feel like I'm unable to grow as a person and spread my wings, not even make any mistakes in life and learn from my mistakes because the people closest to me think they know better.

Am I to be a prisoner in my mother's home for the rest of my life?

Moving back home was the biggest regret of my entire life.

If any of you move out of your parents house, NEVER MOVE BACK HOME!!

I bought a one way ticket to Oklahoma, for June 3rd. I don't plan on coming back to California. I'd rather rot in hell than come back to California. I'd rather die in a flood or tornado than come back to California.
 
If they believe they've raised a child that won't amount to anything, doesn't that mean they're technically admitting to being total failiures as parents?

Then why should you feel obligated to regard any 'advice' they have to give you?

I don’t believe that about myself.

They are total failures as parents.

I don’t listen to any advice they give.
