YES

• When I was in college, my parents took and fetch me to school everyday. If I had to commute, they still picked me up from the subdivision’s entrance, or somewhere that they find safe.
• I never experienced going on an overnight except on a leadership training or school-related activity.
• I only hang out with friends at the malls. My parents and I go to the mall altogether, I separate with them to meet with friends, they wait for me, then we go home together. They are willing to wait, even if they have to spend many hours or even the entire day waiting.
• They usually don’t allow me to go on outdoor activities, swimming, out of town. etc. They always have an excuse for not allowing me.
• I never leave the house without them. If I have to buy something, or meet someone, they will also come along. They will schedule whatever activities they may have to coincide with mine.
• I’m in my mid 20’s
• When I started working, I started to commute on my own. But same with college, there’s a certain place where they will pick me up. They find the route to our home unsafe for me. They also want me to give regular updates of my whereabouts, time I left the office, when I’m on the van, when the van left the terminal, etc.
• My mom has something to say, even in the smallest decisions in make. Example, the clothes I decided to wear on a particular day, something I want to buy with my own money, meeting someone.
• I already talked with them properly about how I wanted some independence to do things on my own freely. But they took it negatively. They think that what they’re doing is normal, and that this is what every parents are supposed to do.
• They’re not like this to my older siblings, but they are 10 years older than me. I never rebelled or done anything to make them act this way. They’re just like that, ever since.
