Things have been a little better since I moved out a year ago, but they still have such a hold on me, even though I'm completely independent. I want to be in contact with them, and I want a better relationship with my sister too, but everything is just so one-sided now. Everyone is scared to talk to me, and I don't think I did anything that was beyond normal teenager wanting to move out stuff.
I feel the same way about my mom. I want more than anything else to have a real mom, to have her understand and listen, but I've had to come to terms with some harsh realities lately. If it hasn't happened in almost 48 years, it's not going to. It's very, very hard, but it's time I worry about myself. My suggestion is to move...not far but maybe 30-45 minutes from home. That is far enough that they will not visit without calling first and maybe you can start to feel more independant because they won't be instantly available should something occur.
