Taking your power back does not equate disrespect. The only ones that would disagree with that are those with no intention to respect your declaration of independence.

Recovery from Parental control.

I HATE MY F*CKING PARENTS!! NAH, I don't but many would say I should

My name is not important but if you must have one it's Lana. What I plan on doing with this blog is talking about a taboo subject, but one that too many of us complain about but few of us actually deal with head on. Controlling parental figures who try and insert themselves into any and all facets of their adult children lives because of their inability to cope with their own issues.

My blog will talk about my journey through personal recovery, abandonment, death, substance abuse, recovery, setting boundaries, embracing my anger, and the fight I had to endured for my own children against my parents who's job it was to love and support me but who became my biggest threat to sobriety and stability.

If you or your parents do any of the following you have parents with issue concerning control and may want to follow my because my journey will empower you, relate to you, and definitely make you feel a little saner.

1. You have a separate ringtone for your parents and it's not a good one. It's designed to immediately trigger your attention to the fact your parents are calling.

2. Almost all of your relationships have ended because of your parent involvement either directly or indirectly

3. They know what bills you have, what you make, and how you budget your life.

4. They parent your children more than you do and without your consent.

5. They very rarely congratulate/acknowledge your progress.

6. They ignore your request for respect or boundaries because they feel they shouldn't have to they are your parents.

7. They demand respect but do not give it.

8. They never apologize your just excepted to deal and get over it. How dare you be mad or have any other emotion at all other than shear gratitude that they are your parents.

9. You avoid telling them certain aspects of your life so they will not contaminate it.

10. They have some type of hold over you (instead of protecting others from knowing your weakness) they exploit it regularly wither it is financial, emotional, or something else with little regard for the pain they inflict.

11. What you say or want is very rarely taken into consideration just because they are older does not necessarily mean they know better.

12. They mention what they had to sacrifice for you regularly.
