Please pray. My mother is very restrictive of me (30s). I can’t go anywhere or do anything, except for doctor’s appointments and work, without my older sibling. My mother expects for this to continue until my sister gets a job, friends, or gets married. She doesn’t admit to this and says it’s crazy when I confront her. My father basically expects the same. It I try to leave anyway, she reacts like I am a 13 year old leaving and chases me back inside. I don’t see her stopping by his behavior until my sister build her own independent life. I could never leave with my parents stopping me.
