When your parents DON'T want you to move out

I understand it might be hard for them to let go, but really, your parents seem to have crossed the line between normal-ness and, well, controlling.

I agree.

Part of getting older is sometimes, making mistakes. I'm sure they don't want to see you fail at anything--but the more they coddle you, the harder it will be for you to develop as an adult. I've seen this happen...where 23 and 25 year olds are essentially sabotaged by their parents.
