I want to say you're made of tougher stuff than me for putting up with such immature drama, but also, I very quietly want to add there is an element of the longer you put up with it the longer it'll go on for... Although I acknowledge it's much harder when there are disabilities involved, I think you know deep inside you don't need your parents nearly as much as they think they are needed (and can therefore control you). I feel like you give them far too much leeway sometimes...
I don’t need them as much as they think, but…I do also love them, still. At their best, they are better than this.
