How can you get your parents to treat you like an adult?

Well it's all here! For once a book to help figure it out! Every time I would visit my parents, they would treat me like a child. Reading this book helped me figure out why. It shows how your adult relationship with your parents is shaped by the ingrained patterns in your family history. It helped me understand why my parents treat me the way they do even though I'm an adult. It taught me how to respond to them positively as an adult - no matter how they continue to act! With changing my actions and behaviors toward my parents, they began to change also! This book discusses different roles played by parents such as: Mother Maryter and Dad Dictator. It is beautifully written and talks about the "script" each of us play in each others lives!
