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?

    I feel sorry for you.  Your parents sound like a nightmare.  They have no right to tell you what to do.  Tell them to mind their own business.  You are an adult and you will lead your life as you see fit.  If they don't like it, too bad.

    Ignore their stupidity. No one can take away your account, you are an adult.

    "they" can't have your account "taken away".   Only the owners/admin of Facebook have that power.   And they only do that if you are violating the terms of service that you agreed to when you signed up for an account.

    1) Find a way to support yourself; and  

    2) MOVE - as far away as you can reasonably handle.  

    Source(s): life; been there, done that.
  • Yes, because you are retarded and can't fend for yourself.
