A 26-year-old woman living with her parents feels oppressed and has been wanting to escape; what should she do?

You may disagree with your parents, but when you don't, you feel good. However, living with them, you often disagree, which makes you feel deprived.

It's not bad when there are no disagreements because parents still see you as a child. They love you, but they don't realize you've grown up. Therefore, they'll always demand that you obey them. They like to play the role of an authority figure in front of their children.

Parents' ideas are hard to change, and they might not be able to keep up with our understanding, so we might disagree. If it hurts, we should think about not living together. We will be involved in everything, and their attitude will affect you.

See if you can live in a dorm or with your boyfriend. Find a reason to convince your parents to let you rent a place.

You can understand your parents, but you don't have to accept them. They hope to make up for their lack of security through your obedience. Set clear boundaries.

Pay attention to your feelings. Set boundaries and stick to them. Let others know you are an independent person.

Parents' demands on their children may not be reasonable, so you don't have to obey them. Refuse, leave, and pursue your own happiness. Just because parents love us doesn't mean they love us in the right way. Set boundaries and make choices for yourself.

You are an independent person. Live a happy life!

Hello, question asker. I can see you're feeling confused, and I'm here to give you a big hug!

It's totally normal to still be living with your folks at 26.

But parents often still want to be in control of your life.

I'd love to know why that is!

It's so true that no matter how old we are, in our parents' eyes we are always the child who never grew up.

It's possible that your parents feel insecure because they think that one day you'll get married and move out.

When they feel insecure, they want to control your life all the time, sweetie.

I think you might really benefit from finding some time to sit down and have a chat with your parents.

Let them know that no matter how old you get, you'll always be their little girl and you'll always love them.

The reason you want to tell your parents this is to make them feel secure.

When they feel secure, they'll stop trying to control your life.

Of course, it's also possible that after you chat with your folks, they'll still be in control of your life.

I really hope this helps! You could even tell them that the daily commute to work is quite long and inconvenient now that you live at home.

So, for practical reasons, you've decided to move into the dormitory where your unit is located.

I really hope your parents will accept this reason.

I really hope the problem you're having gets sorted out soon.

I'm sorry, I just can't think of anything else to say.

I really hope my answer helps and inspires you! I'm the answerer, and I study hard every day.

We love you, and we wish you the best at Yixinli!

Take care!
