Helicopter parents pressure 35-year-old son to stay home and turn down a better job offer: '[It pays] $23k more than my last job'

Some parents simply do not know what's best for their children. It's important to remember that there are people in this world at any age who tend to act out of their own self-interest first and foremost. This personality trait can be an empowering one in some instances, but it can be incredibly damaging in other circumstances, especially when the best interests of loved ones are discarded in the process.

Believe it or not, there is a time and a place when listening to your parents can only cause harm to oneself. Many of us learn this during our adolescent and emerging adulthood years, but it's never too late to have this epiphany, even if you're 35 years old and still living at home like this man. Check out his story of family drama and, ultimately, growth.
