How to Deal With Controlling Parents?
5. Role reversal
Try this game with the slightly more open parent. In this game of role reversal, be their parent and try to turn the situation in your favor by making completely logical arguments.
6. Talk to their friends
Approach a dear friend of your parents and make a sorry face, as if all the world is troubling you and you will get your way!
7. Lie
If nothing works, lie. If you want to go to a party, and there is no way in hell that your parents would agree, then simply lie about a sleepover. But, make sure the place you’re heading to is safe.
8. Cut them out
If you have tried everything, and they just don’t seem to budge, then ignore them. Ignore them for a day, for a week, and pretend as if you can live your life without them. Of course, you have to plan this meticulously, especially if they control your finances.
Use such tactics only if you are in a major fix and are constantly feeling harassed and violated. If none of these tactics work, seek an appointment of a counselor.
