My adult children, who's age ranges are early-twenties to late-twenties, seem to be becoming increasingly hostile as time goes by. They are still living at home and have practically taken over the whole house.
When they were young, even when they were teenagers, we used to get on really well and go out and about a lot, but not anymore, they're not interested. They are really changing as they get older and I don't feel I barely know them anymore. I do know that is natural and to be expected, but I don't understand their hostility. Even when they are nice it seems like they are just taking the p*ss and it's not genuine, just sarcastic. I really feel like just packing and leaving. In fact, I have already started packing today.
I know that I am supposed to be the parent and they are the children. However, they are stronger than me and they club together and become even stronger, so that I don't stand a chance. I don't have a say in what goes on in our home and am spoken to like a child. If I don't constantly 'toe the line' there is trouble including being shouted at and derogatory remarks. I love them very much but I'm not sure I even like them anymore.
It gets worse with every passing year and my confidence is at an all time low.
I even gave up work due to exhaustion, so we will begin to suffer financially in the near future.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
