I stand up to my parents ALL the time. You MUST. if you don't you will never grow up and become your own adult. You will always be under their thumb in some way.

Do you have a good relationship with your parents?  Can you provide some specific examples of how you stood up to them? 

1) It could be better, but it could be far worse. The main problem is that they still don't see me as an adult and I don't know what more I can do to make that happen. Our relationship is stuck in an arrested state of development where I am still a kid in their eyes.

2) A specific recent example is them having problems with someone I dated. Quite frankly, they don't get an opinion in the matter. I'M the one who's going to do the dating, not them. I'd love it if they liked who I was dating, but if they don't "I love you, but too bad!"
