Work with a professional
If you are still finding it difficult to communicate your needs with your parents and confront them about your boundaries, it could be that you feel intimidated.
It may help to seek the support of a mental health professional [2]. They can help prepare you for these difficult conversations by helping you explore what you need from the relationship and identifying things that need to change.
A therapist [3] can also offer guidance on what healthy boundaries [4] look like and help you recognize and address the tension and toxic behaviors [5].
Therapy also provides a safe space to have therapist-mediated discussions about the importance of boundaries in your relationship.
