Search Results: overprotective parents

So, here's a little background on me. I make decent grades in school, I take care of myself, washing myself, keeping my room clean, and I can speak a little Spanish. I could learn Spanish if I wanted to but I can only understand very little of it. My mom told my therapist that I'll never be able to live independently because I'm different. Both my parents say that I'm slow, different and I'll never live anywhere by myself without someone helping me around the house and I have the mind of a child. ( lots of people say I'm childish) and even my older sister says that I'm never going to be able to live by myself. my mom is trying to convince my younger sister to live with me so I won't have to be alone. They don't want me alone because I'm different, slow and I'm not smart enough like everyone else. I mean, why else would my mother be so overprotective and telling me what I can and can't do all the time. They always thought that my older sister would take care of me but since she didn't, they're hoping that my little sister will live with me and make sure that I don't live alone. I've been to therapists, they said that i have emotional and mental issues. They don't tell me that I have a low IQ, I'm retarded, or I am unable to take care of myself or live independently like my parents/ older are always telling me. I'm starting to wonder if I'm retarded or if my parents are just over controlling and abusive? :/ is this normal? Since my therapists do tell me that I have mental/ emotional issues?
