I was born with a rare muscle condition called hypertonia [weak mucles] and my parents are so overprotective of me.When I try and pratice driving my paents freak out and they make me nervous.How do I not let my family upset me.They annoy me.They tell me how to live my life and when I disagree with how they think they get mad at me.I want to move out and move up to Des Moine Iowa and be roommates with my friend and pen pal alison.We been talking for years and she and I will meet up in real life some time next summer.I hope my parents will not try and stop me from moving out.i am not happy living in texas.Since I broke up with Josh I been so angery and mad.

Hey, you are an adult. You do what makes you happy and you move on with your life. Parents will be protective all your life. I am 30,and my parents still treat me like a 15 year old at times because that's what parents do sometimes. lol. You make your own decisions. :)

I am 46 and fear my mother ...

my first lawyer told me.. that she had to say Fuck It Mom.. Im 40 years old. and I can make my own decisions now.

I was brought up in an over protective home.. part of the reason I married so young... to get away I suspect.

I will advise you to stretch your wings a bit.. but moving far off to assert your independence might not be a good plan.. babysteps... try moving out close to home first.. see if you are up to it.. and then take some more steps.

OK I'm going to say something you all probably do not want to hear. My parents were "older" when I was born. My mother died when I was in my 20's, my father died 10 yrs later. Yes parents stick their noses in where they don't belong, they are over protective, nosy and in general a pain in the ass, until you don't have them anymore!

Right now I'd give up a few "appendages" to have one of them around to lean on, stick their nose into my affairs and just be there!

I 150% agree with you, courier... Both of my parents have been gone for almost 10 & 15 years.

No kidding cat...I'm sure one or both of mine would have advice I wouldn't want to hear right now..but then again I would! Odd how your perspective changes?

yeppers, it is..... Sad but true, when they're gone, they're gone.... There's no coming back for them. You are right, we probably wouldn't want to hear what they had to say if they were still alive, but since they're not, we would welcome ANYTHING they had to say... ;)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
