Im a man that had strict parents, I’m 23 now. At some point ur gonna have to stand ur ground and not allow ur parents to abuse their parental authority to revoke your freedom. Not standing up for yourself is only gonna make it worse and have them believe ur never gonna go against their saying, especially if ur an only child.
I’m a man who had strict and abusive parents. One day they BOTH hit me in the face at the same time and I swung back once. I ended up getting sent to group homes and charged with felony assault, but I made it out and the charge was dropped. Now I’m in a better position, but the group home trauma and the fact that I’m now an adult with no family are consequences of that. Weigh your pros and cons, what was right for me may not be what was right for you. Good luck with everything
Thanks for the honesty guys, I should add that I had a very violent experience which heavily affected my mental and physical health. But prior to that I was living alone and well on my way to make my own life for myself and get the freedom I wanted. But since that experience they made me move back home and have pretty much revoked all my freedom. And I’m surrounded by their fighting and verbal abuse once again.
I mean, I’m the type of person that my parents know I would cut them off if they cross a line and they care about that. It all depends on how much you depends on them and value the connection. If you don’t depend on them for bills it makes it much easier. My parents were strict but that’s why I knew to establish independence so they have no leverage.
Yeah ofc. My younger brother was adopted from a different family (we were both adopted) and the adoptive family was physically abusive to him. They never physically abused me until they sent him to a group home, and then once he was gone, they started being physically abusive with me.
