Anyone else in their 20s and have parents still trying to control them? I told my mom last night I would be moving in with my boyfriend and she said she’d have to “think about that”. I’m 23 I don’t need their permission anymore.

Just do it anyway, that’s what I did 3 years ago. Now we’re engaged and I couldn’t be happier. My mom always told me living with a man was a bad idea but honestly she was just projecting. And despite my man proving himself to be a KING, nothing we ever said or did could get her to change her mind. You are the only person who knows everything about your relationship and you should do what you think is best for YOU and makes YOU happy. Also your mom will eventually have to accept and move on.

I’ve never done anything to disappoint my parents, but I’m moving in with my boyfriend no matter how they feel. I’m feeling really scared about their reactions so im glad I’m not alone.

Currently not on speaking terms with my narcissistic mom and avoidant dad because they still view me as a kid and call me immature at 22. So if you need any advice or someone to talk to, my DMs are open!!

Yeah ultimately the decision is up to you and they can’t force you to do something else
