Answer 7

OMG yes! I've had some problems with my mom the last couple years and I feel like she tries to push the blame on me, but I'm just trying to push past. I know one day, we'll be able to patch it up, but as of right now, I just want her to stop treating me like a little kid.

Answer 8

sometimes yeah! I guess it happens to us all. x

Answer 9

YES. Like if my Dad wants to go somewhere like Wal-Mart and wants me to come along and I don't want to, he gets all "Fine. Fine. Whatever." and then I'll say if you really want me to come i will, and  he goes, "No, no. You said you didn't want to, you dont have to. No."

Answer 10

Yes. I think my parents sometimes try to make me feel guilty on purpose because they know they can. This is what my parents always say, since they're my parents and they want the best for me, even if it's not my fault, I'm still wrong because whatever they do, they just want the best for me.

Answer 11

*YEAP* many parents where raised the same way and they don't understand how hard on is on young adults, and children, to be controlled like this - but it's often the only thing that parents know

Many parents overtly control by having VERY strict rules and rules that are non-sense and for no reason but still have to be followed - others instead use guilt to try and control ...

It can be harmful either way and there's only a very few outcomes to this:

a 'broken' child that doesn't know how to live life on their own and has to call home 3 times a day just to ask what they should do during work, or eat for lunch

a rebelling child that can do *ALLOT* of damage both to themselves and to their parents, but they often need their parents even more to get them out of trouble and it starts a downward spiral

a 'distant' child that knows it's wrong and refuses to be exposed and hurt by this - but also feels bad for having to be distant form their parents ...

*IT'S NOT COOL* Although many parents change (although they insist that the person just 'finally grow up because of their though love') and finally allow a 'real' relationship between parent and son/daughter

Answer 12

Yes, i am married and my parents still have that tendancy to make me feel guilty, even if its not even my fault they have a way of turning it around and making me feel guilty.
