Parents shelter and control me, what do I do?
My boyfriend is a great person, there are soo many things I love about him! The thing is, he has kids and my parents won't accept it. They have this way of making me miserable when I don't do what they want and for some odd reason I love them too much and don't want to hurt them by rebelling. I just don't know what to do about this. Tonight they pissed me off so much - I was out with friends and my mum texted me saying I have to be home at 9pm and then my phone battery died and when I charged it I got a message saying "if you don't come home on time you know what will happen. No more excuses I'm sick of it" - this happens every time I go out but now since they won't accept my boyfriend, it's really aggravating me. An example of controlling or manipulating is my mum always threatens to kill herself if I don't do what She wants. What do I do?
By the way, I'm 22. How can I keep my boyfriend, my social life and my parents?

I think it's time you move out your mother sounds narcissistic, you are an adult now she has no control of what you do and where you go who you date etc it's time to leave the nest , best thing that ever happened to me and you'll feel much better for it, I did this 5-6 years ago and I am now 23 trust me you won't look back. Good luck

Its doesn't matter if your parents want something different for you, threatening suicide is just a way to manipulate you. I would move into my own flat and that way you can come home whatever time you like.Next time your mother threatens to kill herself call the police and tell them to do a welfare check on your mother because you fear for her safety and state of mental Health,that will put a stop to that bad behaviour. Call her bluff. If she texts the threat to your phone you can also show that to the police. Good luck

Your mom needs help. She's threatening you to get what she wants. If you continue entertaining her behaviour, your situation will never change, hence you need to stop her now or it will only get worse. I suggest that you seek help from a therapist or counselor. You should not compromise your happiness for anyone, not even your parents. Happiness is a choice and whatever happens you know that it is your choice and that's how your learn to making a better choice.
