Am I alone?
Looking to see if i’m not alone dealing with this issue…..
I am an only child with very controlling parents. They have been this way since I could remember and I’m currently 28. I am recently engaged and started the wedding process, but it has not gone smoothly as you could imagine. I know I need to set boundaries as they care about their happiness more than my own. I had boundaries set when I moved out a year ago, but let some of them down as time went on. Now with everything going on, I’m not sure what I should do? I feel obligated to call them everyday with additional texting here and there. They know how to make me feel bad by guilting me with words or crying (yes I know this is manipulation). I don’t wan’t to go no contact but I’m at a loss of what boundaries I can make and anything else that may have worked for others in my situation.
