It is frustrating when others put us in a box and don't recognize the changes we make. I think it is especially difficult for parents. It seems no matter how much we grow and change parents still see us as their children. You have grown and matured tremendously. Maybe it would help you to review the changes you've made?

Thank you for the congrats, I appreciate it! That made me feel good.
I've done the whole, "here's the list of things I've done for myself to become more mature and responsible" and they passively nod their heads.
There is someone I can practice with, and she does a good job listening and giving advice.
