Hmm... My parents are the same way. For the longest time, I tried to so hard to get my mom to be different. To care in the way I needed her to. To change who she was, essentially. It was frustrating for a long time. At the same time, I love and care about my parents. I've made peace with it now. But my mom is definitely....well, for the longest time I was like, "I don't get her."

Do they support you financially and let you live with them?

Perhaps that is just what they know to do. In terms of them not wanting you to flourish, are you sure? Do you know that as a fact? If they haven't said that outright to you, I think it might be in your benefit to consider the idea that...your parents just are doing the best they can (even if it seems like a crappy one to you. And I can so relate, every time I bring up job stuff to my mom, she says "well you don't have to decide today" ahh! so frustrating! I'm learning to just stop going to her with issues of that nature) with who they are and what they know and have. People are interesting. It would be interesting to be able to choose our family before we're born.
