Do my parents have a right to control me as an adult?
I am a adult in my 30's and my parents are still very controlling even when I am on my own and don't live with them. They treat me like a child and tell me not to post on Facebook or use my account because it's personal. I know I have a disability but they do not have power of attorney or do not look after me. They tell me they will find a way to take my account away and that I will be in a lot of trouble or that they will make sure I get the proper help I need if I go about their wishes. Is this normal behavior of them and do they have any right to do this? Even when I refuse and say I don't have to listen to them and that I am an adult with doing what I want as long as it is legal and doesn't violate the terms, they still say they need to get involved and that I need to listen to them or there are going to be consequences. One will be taking my account away and two will be them never supporting me again.
What should I do in a situation like this?

They can't control you, but they do have a right to be concerned. Why are you telling them about your personal life?
There's ways people can easily be blocked on social media.

Yep, they do, 'cos you've admitted that you've got a disability. That's the deciding factor.

No, they don't. When you become an adult let us know if they stop.

Your question from yesterday is the perfect example of why your parents need to take an active role in your online accounts.

Maybe. They have whatever right to control you that you give them.
