I’m 25. Recently I moved back to the states after living abroad for a few years to get my Master’s Degree. I was working full time during that time, living with my then fiancée. Upon moving back to the states, my parents kindly offered to let me move back home to sock away some money for my next steps. I haven’t really lived at home for more than a few weeks since high school, but I love my parents and was pleased to do so. During a conversation with my father though, he told me that in his eyes, I am not a man yet, since I’m not fully dependent on myself (living at home). Just today, my Dad grabbed the steering wheel of my car while I was backing out of our driveway, because he was worried I’d hit his truck which was 20+ feet behind us. i’m worried my Dad will never see me as a man, or more worryingly, as an adult. Has your Dad ever told you that you are “a man” in his eyes? submitted by /u/Jubbs
