I live with my parents, which is not the dream.

I unfortunately had to move back home when my relationship broke down. As an adult who has had a mortgage this is an almost impossible situation to get back into.

My mother, although I don't particularly get along with her, I can handle living with her more than my dad.

My dad interferes too much. He feels the need to be a dad and tell me what to do, despite the fact I'm nearly 27.

Honestly I thought we had finally moved on but tonight I was proved wrong. I do not need him to come into my room and tell me I should be asleep. I know this. And him telling me is never going to help. It makes it worse if anything.

Nothing I say seems to get through to him, he is right and I am wrong. I can't afford to move otherwise I would not be living with them. At this moment it feels like there is nothing I can do to make this bearable, I'm at a loss.

It isn't ideal living with your parents when you are used to your own space and no interference.I guess though it is better than the alternative,being out on the streets.
Try to see it as a temporary arrangement and explain to your dad that you don't need mentoring at your age and that you didn't expect them to assume you were back as a child that needs parenting.Remind him often that you are an adult now and deal with annoying interference as an adult would,saying no dad I am a grown man now and your comments are inappropriate.This will stop you going mad and stop his attempts to revert you back to a child to his parent from being assumed as the norm.

The trouble is I have tried telling him this over and over. And sometimes he backs off for a bit, but then he always starts again. I feel like it's gone on too long now to actually change it...I need to get out of this house.

I know how it feels, from both sides of the equation.

I'm so sorry.
