Search Results: protective parents

If parents are too strict with their children, like for example set too many rules on them, demanding, or are too bossy/ over-protective to the point where they yell at them or possibly hit/ smack them, do you think they become sneaky and secretive when they grow up?

example: This guys parents used to always smack him and to this day he's shit scared of him and answers the phone right away when he calls, and he doesn't tell his father anything about who his friends are or about his personal life...
