| My parents don't treat me like an adult, and most of the time that suits me fine. My Dad (Aspie in denial) and I get on much better when I actually act like a baby (not tantrums or anything just kinda dumb/naive and cutesy). Mum likes bossing us both about and then complaining about it, so it's lose-lose there. These days she'll ask me questions like she's interested in my thoughts/feelings on the subject, but it's basically all rhetorical. As long as they're happy to keep dealing with the Real World for me, I'm happy to let them because I really can't cope at all. |

I am 24 this month. I live independantly with my partner/carer. My mother never has and probably never will treat me as an adult. This is one of the reasons I rarely speak to her.
(She refuses to admit I am ill but treats me like a goddamn five year old anyway.)

| It took quite a lot for my parents to treat me like an adult. The big event that changed everything is when my daughters father and my best friend died 2 days apart. My parents expected me to quit functioning. I took no time off except 2 hours for one funeral. 4 months later I showed up pregnant and the guy I was seeing went seriously psychotic, and I got a restraining order and chose not to keep the baby. THATS when each and every member of my family began treating me like an adult. (except the middle sister) And of couse I feel like 3 people had to die for my family to realize I'm not a child. |

Father split when I was 3, started getting the "grow up" lecture when I was about 14.
